Impostor syndrome is characterized by feelings of inauthenticity and illegitimacy among high-achieving and deserving individuals. Our study set out to determine the prevalence of this phenomenon within a population of master’s students of Maghrebi origin in Belgium and France. We considered the impact of racism as experienced through micro-aggressions and minority stress, as well as the influence of gender and first-generation status on perceptions of not belonging. Our quantitative methodology used an online questionnaire incorporating multiple rating scales that had previously been tested in the literature. Descriptive analysis allowed us to demonstrate the widespread presence of high levels of impostor syndrome among the individuals in our sample (62.9%). Meanwhile, inferential analysis shed light on how underlying factors—the experience of racism and minority stress—exacerbated impostor syndrome among master’s students of Maghrebi origin. However, we found that neither first-generation status nor gender played a statistically significant role. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing the issue of impostor syndrome within the social contexts of young people with an immigrant background, along with considering the need for introducing measures to promote the inclusion and well-being of such students at French and Belgian universities.

AbstractProductivity growth in the U.S. economy jumped during the second half of the 1990s, a resurgence that many analysts linked to information technology (IT). However, shortly after this consensus emerged, demand for IT products fell sharply, leading to a lively debate about the connection between IT and productivity and about the sustainability of the faster growth. We contribute to this debate in two ways. First, to assess the robustness of the earlier evidence, we extend the growth-accounting results in Oliner and Sichel (2000a) through 2001. The new results confirm the basic story in our earlier work – that the acceleration in labor productivity after 1995 was driven largely by the greater use of IT capital goods and by the more rapid efficiency gains in the production of IT goods. Second, to assess whether the pickup in productivity growth is sustainable, we analyze the steady-state properties of a multi-sector growth model. This exercise generates a range for labor productivity growth of 2 percent to 2 ¾ percent per year, which suggests that much – and possibly all – of the resurgence is sustainable.

This text is built on the arguments of the expectations of the entrepreneurship fable, namely the growth fable, the SME mixture of the entrepreneurship fable and the fable of the confusion between entrepreneurship and empowering mechanisms. We will investigate the forgotten maxim of the entrepreneurship fable, “Think before you act”, from the point of view of what an entrepreneur is and what entrepreneurship is. We will also analyze business incubation and incubators, entrepreneurial motivation factors using the push and pull funding theories, entrepreneur profiles, entrepreneurial support, gendered entrepreneurship and university entrepreneurship to complete the demonstration associated with the forgotten maxim. A conclusion will address the question of the foundations of entrepreneurship in the African context.

After recalling the theoretical and economic contexts which surround this paper, we present a first existing econometric model dealing with price-elasticity. Then we introduce a dynamic microeconomic model based on the concrete example of a non-life insurance company which wants to change its renewal strategy. We study the consequences of its price (premium) strategy on its portfolio and turnover, in a competitive market. The evolution of the company's portfolio and turnover is determined. Three numerical examples for commercial lines of business follow, before concluding.
