Characterization of a Cournot–Nash Equilibrium for a Fishery Model with Fuzzy Utilities by R. Israel Ortega-Gutiérrez, Raúl Montes-de-Oca, Hugo Cruz-Suárez

“…However, in the fuzzy case, game theory is not the best way to represent a real fishing problem because players do not always have enough information to accurately estimate their utility in the context of fishing. For this reason, in this paper, trapezoidal-type fuzzy utility values are considered for a fishing model, and the terms of the Nash equilibrium are given in the fuzzy context, i.e., this equilibrium is represented using the partial order of the α-cuts of the fuzzy numbers; to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no work with this type of treatment. …”

Direction des sociétés, modèle de reproduction des élites managériales et financiarisation du capitalisme allemand : Enseignements à partir d’un panel de vingt-cinq sociétés cotées... by Christopher Lantenois

“…First, we will clarify two elements of pressure that the German capitalism has to bear, namely (a) the sudden arrival of the foreign Institutional Investors in the ownership capital structure, and (b) the reform of corporate governance principles. Then, we will estimate their effects on the sociology and the nomination process of the presidents by analyzing their school trail, the “in-house career” pattern, and the gap between the presidency of the management board and the presidency of the supervisory board. …”
