| Abstract: | We examine restitution of cultural goods and its optimal form, i.e. whether restitution should be definite or take the form of a loan. We show that loan can be optimal when the source country becomes indispensable due to its cultural significance, while full restitution is optimal when the host country completes restoration. Valuation changes can lead to restitution, but do not pin down its optimal form. Finally, restitution is not always optimal despite source country’s higher valuation for the cultural good. We apply our analysis to the restitution of Icelandic manuscripts and the proposed loan or restitution of Benin bronzes. |

| Abstract: | Streaming platforms offer subscribers unlimited access to content against a periodic subscription fee. To address the problem of dividing the revenues of the platform in a stable way among the content creators, we model these situations as cooperative streaming platform games and analyze the structure of the core. In particular, we study the construction of the core of a streaming platform game from the cores of its so-called marginal games, dominated games, and utopia games. |

| Abstract: | The fan experience, a central concept in sports marketing, refers to the full range of interactions experienced by a spectator before, during, and after a game. Fan satisfaction cannot rely solely on the performance or victory of their favorite team but must also depend on the quality of peripheral services: hospitality, catering, entertainment, comfort, etc. Since the early 2000s, the NFL and MLB have deployed brand globalization strategies by relocating regular-season games to London. The NFL has organized over 40 games at Wembley, Twickenham, and Tottenham, while MLB has staged six matchups at the London Stadium. The objective is twofold: to attract European fans and to provide American expatriates and traveling supporters with an experience as authentic as in the United States. This paper, based on a participant observation methodology, examines the modalities of globalizing the fan experience. |
| Abstract: | La fan experience, concept central du marketing du sport, désigne l'ensemble des interactions vécues par un spectateur avant, pendant et après un match. La satisfaction du fan ne peut reposer seulement sur la victoire de son club préféré, mais aussi sur la qualité des services périphériques : accueil, restauration, animation, confort, etc. Depuis les années 2000, la NFL (football US) et la MLB (baseball) ont déployé une stratégie de globalisation en délocalisant des rencontres à Londres. La NFL a organisé plus de 40 matchs à Wembley, Twickenham et Tottenham, et la MLB 6 confrontations au London Stadium. L'objectif est double : séduire les fans européens et offrir aux Américains expatriés ou en voyage une expérience fidèle à celle des États-Unis. Cette contribution, mobilisant la méthode de l'observation participante, interroge les modalités de globalisation de l'expérience du fan. |

| Abstract: | International marriages and their divorce rates in Japan have increased; however, empirical evidence regarding the underlying factors remains limited. This study examines divorce trends among international couples in Japan by comparing the divorce rates of Japanese–Japanese couples to those of Japanese–non-Japanese couples using data from the Population Census and Vital Statistics for 1995–2020. Binomial logistic regression for grouped data reveals significantly higher divorce rates for international couples than for Japanese–Japanese couples, although this gap has narrowed over time. Approximately 20% of this difference is explained by the wife’s age and the age gap between spouses. Using characteristics of non-Japanese spouses’ home countries, we find that larger within-couple disparities in age and GDP increase the risk of divorce, whereas greater distance in cultural and gender norms contributes to marital stability. These findings suggest that the complex interplay of cultural, economic, and institutional factors shapes divorce risk in international marriages. |
