ABSTRACT This paper has two objectives: to characterize the exposure of developing countries to the international income, prices and monetary shocks and to calculate the social well-being in the period of contagion. Firstly, we develop a theoretical model with a world composed of two countries (developed and developing countries) and measure the level of the exposure of income in developing country to the external shocks trough external trade, international tourism, migrant transfers, external debt, foreign aid, FDI and other private financial flow channels. And, we characterize imported inflation in studying the effect of the international shocks on real exchange rate. Secondly, we search the social well-being. The results suggest that economic disequilibrium in developing country is social- ly optimal and that the dependence of its income to the domestic industry is necessary to reduce contagion.

  • First Call for Papers Risks and Safety in Combat Sports and Martial Arts
    First call for papers Risks and safety in combat sports and martial arts International congress, 15th JORRESCAM, May 28-29, 2020 Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, University of Lille1 The 15th Days of Reflection and Research on Combat Sports and Martial Arts (JORRESCAM) continues the ideas and objectives of preceding events, the first of which was held in 1991. On one hand, it studies a specific category of practices and disciplines: combat sports and martial arts2. Taken in all forms here, Combat Sports and Martial Arts (CSMAs) are distinguished by the fact that the body is both the tool used for confrontation and domination (actual or symbolic) and the target to reach (whether directly or indirectly). On the other hand, it provides a multidisciplinary perspective on a given topic. Lastly, it brings together a wide range of actors in different positions and functions: researchers, practitioners, teachers, trainers, students, institutional actors, managers, doctors, journalists, legal experts, etc., in order to spark dialogue, discussion of ideas, collaborations and, from there, the development of new expertise. Problematising the connections between CSMAs and the dialectic of risks and safety is made complex by the variety of disciplines concerned and their specific features, but also by uses and manners of practice (particularly in connection with the theme chosen for this congress) and by the physical and symbolic involvement that they imply, more generally. Some points of reference illustrate, partially and therefore reductively, the areas of problematisation that could be developed. 1 Congress organised by the RASE (responsibility of actors in sports and education) team from URePSSS (Unité de Recherche Pluridisciplinaire Sport Santé Société) Research Unit (EA 7369), University of Lille, University of the Littoral Opal Coast, Artois University.
