Incidence de la décentralisation sur l’investissement local au Bénin
Revue des Etudes Multidisciplinaires en Sciences Economiques et Sociales, 2018 L’un des objectifs fondamentaux de la décentralisation est le développement à la base, à travers l’investissement local (Lemieux, 2001). Différents travaux (Besson, 2002 ; Tsobzé et al, 2007) convergent sur l’idée que l’investissement des collectivités ...

Federalism, Decentralisation and Corruption [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 We investigate the empirical relationship between decentralisation and corruption. Using a newly assembled dataset containing data for up to 174 countries, we revisit the empirical evidence and seek to explain some of the inconsistent results that exist in the literature.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Metal‐free carbon catalysts enable the sustainable synthesis of hydrogen peroxide via two‐electron oxygen reduction; however, active site complexity continues to hinder reliable interpretation. This review critiques correlation‐based approaches and highlights the importance of orthogonal experimental designs, standardized catalyst passports ...

Decentralising Finance using Decentralised Blockchain Oracles
2020 International Conference for Emerging Technology (INCET), 2020 The recent spread of COVID-19, stressed economies and government pumping money into the market has once again ignited the discussion on the need to have decentralised economies, the role of regulatory authorities and if bitcoin represents a true store of value. In this paper, we identify the need to alternate financial structure, discuss how blockchain

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.In this study, a highly conductive polymer ink was developed and printed using a high‐resolution 3D printing technique. The printed structures showed excellent electrical performance and fine detail. These features make them suitable for biosensing applications, enabling accurate detection and improved device performance in compact and customizable ...
