The multinational model Atlas, first part : the national models, by François Cellier, Ronan Le Berre, Didier Miqueu. The multinational model, Atlas, constructed by the modélisation and in ternational data bank section at the Forecast bureau, has been in use since autumn 1982 for making forecasts on Frances international environment and studying global scenarios associated with sundry hazards about raw material prices, exchange rates and economic policies, among other topics. Atlas contains a model for each of the nine main Oecd countries together with the rest of the world's simplified representation divided into seventeen areas. Countries and regions are connected to each other with a model of Commerce describing global bilateral flows on a two-product basis : oil and non oil. The article is devoted to the national models, since the commerce model is to come out in a next Economie & Prévision issue. Choosing specifications for national models results from a compromise between the findings of horizontal thematic research on the one hand and those of vertical country-basis research on the other hand. The first part of the article is deroted to an overall introduction to national models, their common and different features. The importance given to the properties of each model in retrospective simulation as in variation is particularly underscored. The second chapter explains how the relationships between household consumption and wages for every country are being dealt with. It gives one a clue to the sundry specifications, checked beforehand, and the contents of the choices that have been made. The third part presents the US model relationships in full. Through that example, the logic and working of models are set out in detail , their properties are also exemplified by the results from the model working in retrospective simulation and in variation.

In France, the social and medico-social sector is having to meet social needs that are in the process of rapid and profound change. The transformation of this sector, which has been orchestrated by public policies, is coalescing around an economy of benefits that is supposedly in the process of adapting to meet the needs of those groups deemed vulnerable as a result of old age or handicap. This economy or marketplace has been drawing together personalised professional services seen as capable of responding to the individual needs of those requesting them. It consists of distinct products and services that are both unrelated and difficult to evaluate, with the ‘consumer’ having to be guided through it to make the best possible choice. How to undertake a search for the right product is by no means an obvious matter, as the market is lacking in transparency and its products are of uncertain quality. To reduce the impact of these shortcomings, ‘consumers’ are forced to have recourse to information-seeking methods in finding a path towards a viable choice. The economics of singularities, a theoretical approach developed by Karpik (2007), offers us an interesting sociological reading of the development and growth of the services market in the social and medico-social sector, and provides us with analytical tools that allow us to grasp the realities of this evolution.

The ageing of the population demands to renew the ways of thinking the settings of the circles of life to strengthen the well-being of the seniors. Several studies demonstrated that the leisure contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of the seniors. For that purpose, the municipal level has to play an important role in leisure opportunities intended for this group. This article presents the results of an inquiry led in 2015 in Montreal among 464 respondents of 50 years old and more. It shows the importance granted by the seniors to free practices of leisure and multifunctional outer spaces. At the same time, these results reveal physical and socioeconomic disparities marked in the pooled population. Finally, this study highlights the fact that the municipal action seems to be conceived as facilitator for the implementation of projects by and for the seniors more than as simple supplier of activities.

Forensic interviews in child sexual abuse cases involve several challenges, such as how to obtain sufficient specific details to correctly understand the alleged aggression. This study looks at the influence of victim age and the type of question on the kind of words used to describe the location in which the aggression took place. A content analysis was performed on 75 interviews with alleged victims aged between 3 to 12 years. All interviews followed the NICHD protocol. As expected, the findings suggest that location description becomes richer and more detailed as the child ages. Vocabulary and the use of adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions increase with age, which greatly improves the accuracy of testimony. These results illustrate the effect of the development of cognitive capacities, language, and attention skills on the quality of the description. Closed-ended questions generally lead to vaguer answers than open-ended questions, especially with the youngest children. This observation supports experts' recommendations that open-ended questions should be given priority to order to obtain the most complete information.
