Premiers pas en simulation = First steps in simulation
Why simulation techniques? Simulation methods, designed for use in statistics and operations research, have experienced and continue to develop rapidly due to the extraordinary evolution of computers. Applications are found in industry and in economics, or even social sciences, in particle physics, in astronomy and in many other fields. In many situations, whether in everyday life or in scientific research, the researcher is faced with problems which he seeks solutions on the basis of certain initial assumptions and constraints. To solve this type of problem, there exist analytical methods applicable to situations where the model makes it possible to treat the di? Erent variables by mathematically manageable equations, and numerical methods where the complexity of the model imposes a fragmentation of the problem, in particular by the identification of the various variables which come into play and the study of their interactions. This last approach is often accompanied by a large mass of calculations. Simulation techniques are numerical techniques: to simulate a phenomenon essentially means to carefully reconstruct its evolution.

Poverty and Inequality in the Era of Structural Reforms : The Case of Bolivia
Fueled by the ongoing debate about the distributive effects of the Washington Consensus, the dynamics of poverty and inequality have returned to the center of attention of academic scholars, policymakers, and the public at large. The main obstacles to analyzing this issue are incomplete income and consumption data in developing countries. Hence, the book presents a new dynamic cross-survey microsimulation methodology and applies it to generate the database for a detailed case study on Bolivia during the era of structural reforms.
Positive Operators
this monograph presents a comprehensive study of positive operators between Riesz spaces and Banach lattices. Since the first publication of this book, (Academic Press, 1985), the subject of positive operators and Riesz spaces has found many applications in several disciplines, including social sciences and engineering. It is well known that many linear operators between Banach spaces arising in classical analysis are in fact positive operators. Therefore we study here positive operators in the setting of Riesz spaces and Banach lattices and from both the algebraic and topological points of view.
