CIRANO Le CIRANO est un organisme sans but lucratif constitué en vertu de la Loi des compagnies du Québec. Le financement de son infrastructure et de ses activités de recherche provient des cotisations de ses organisations-membres, d'une subvention d'infrastructure du Ministère du Développement économique et régional et de la Recherche, de même que des subventions et mandats obtenus par ses équipes de recherche. CIRANO is a private non-profit organization incorporated under the Québec Companies Act. Its infrastructure and research activities are funded through fees paid by member organizations, an infrastructure grant from the Ministère du Développement économique et régional et de la Recherche, and grants and research mandates obtained by its research teams. Le CIRANO collabore avec de nombreux centres et chaires de recherche universitaires dont on peut consulter la liste sur son site web. Les cahiers de la série scientifique (CS) visent à rendre accessibles des résultats de recherche effectuée au CIRANO afin de susciter échanges et commentaires. Ces cahiers sont écrits dans le style des publications scientifiques. Les idées et les opinions émises sont sous l'unique responsabilité des auteurs et ne représentent pas nécessairement les positions du CIRANO ou de ses partenaires. This paper presents research carried out at CIRANO and aims at encouraging discussion and comment. The observations and viewpoints expressed are the sole responsibility of the authors.

Résumé / Abstract L'efficacité des accords économiques constitue le centre d'intérêt de la recherche en économie, mais on peut se demander si les améliorations observées en matière d'efficacité au sein des économies développées ont été accompagnées d'une vulnérabilité accrue de la production aux événements catastrophiques. Pour répondre à cette question de façon utile, nous avons besoin d'outils pouvant être mis en oeuvre dans le but de mesurer la vulnérabilité de la production aux perturbations ou aux bouleversements. La présente étude tente de mettre en place des mesures rudimentaires de cette vulnérabilité potentielle accrue au sein des systèmes économiques. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur les concepts issus de la théorie de l'information, sur la conception rigoureuse de systèmes et, indirectement, sur des statistiques robustes pour mesurer la vigueur de la production et pour appliquer cette mesure …

Event-driven and Attribute-driven Robustness

Over five decades have passed since the first wave of robust optimization studies conducted by Soyster and Falk. It is outstanding that real-life applications of robust optimization are still swept aside; there is much more potential for investigating the exact nature of uncertainties to obtain intelligent robust models. For this purpose, in this study, we investigate a more refined description...

Exchange Rate Misalignment in Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC): Focusing on Iran

Abstract I n this paper, we investigate the existence and the nature of real exchange rate misalignment in Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). To do this we estimated a cross country basic real exchange rate determination model for 1990-2012 and extracted historic trend of misalignment. The results imply that all OPEC countries have had misalignment -...
