Book Description
La production d'énergie nucléaire génère des risques environnementaux et sanitaires dont le risque d'accident. La gestion de ce risque présente deux dimensions: l'une préventive et l'autre compensatoire. Etant donné son caractère catastrophique et imprévisible, le risque nucléaire a toujours fait l'objet d'une gestion spécifique. En Europe, la gestion de ce risque est insatisfaisante. Le régime de responsabilité civile dont bénéficie l'industrie nucléaire conduit à un défaut d'internalisation du risque et à une insuffisance de la couverture des dommages. L'organisation de la couverture du risque nucléaire en Europe a été conditionnée par le régime de responsabilité civile mis en place. Dans sa forme actuelle, cette organisation est inefficace. Dans la perspective du lancement de nouveaux programmes électronucléaires en Europe, la gestion du risque nucléaire doit ètre reconsidérée afin de mieux répondre aux exigences d'internalisation, de prévention et d'indemnisation. Les exploitants devraient ètre soumis à une responsabilité illimitée et la couverture des dommages pourrait ètre améliorée par la mise en oeuvre d'un accord de risk-sharing entre exploitants.

Book Description
Modeling the dynamics of energy markets has become a challenging task. The intensification of their financialization since 2004 had made them more complex but also more integrated with other tradable asset classes. More importantly, their large and frequent fluctuations in terms of both prices and volatility, particularly in the aftermath of the global financial crisis 2008-2009, posit difficulties for modeling and forecasting energy price behavior and are primary sources of concerns for macroeconomic stability and general economic performance.This handbook aims to advance the debate on the theories and practices of quantitative energy finance while shedding light on innovative results and technical methods applied to energy markets. Its primary focus is on the recent development and applications of mathematical and quantitative approaches for a better understanding of the stochastic processes that drive energy market movements. The handbook is designed for not only graduate students and researchers but also practitioners and policymakers.

Book Description
This book is a unique introduction to the economic costs of nuclear power. It examines the future of the nuclear power industry and unpacks the complicated relationships between its technical, economic and political variables. It does so by modelling the costs, risks and uncertainties of one of the world’s most opaque industries using micro-econometrics, econometrics, and cost engineering. Economics of Nuclear Power examines the very important costs of externalities (storing of nuclear waste and the impact of a Chernobyl or Fukushima event) and compares those to the externalities of alternative carbon based energies (oil, coal, natural gas). With over 100 tables and figures this book details nuclear power production around the world - present and planned, providing a completely global focus. It also includes an overview of the past 70 years of international nuclear power developments. This book is essential reading for students, scholars and professionals interested in energy economics, nuclear engineering and energy policy.

Book Description
The central goal of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the literature with respect to the economic analysis of tort law. It sure meets the challenge, offering with great expertise a comprehensive presentation of tort law in both economic and comparative perspectives. The clarity of the text, unusual in the law and economics literature, makes the book accessible to a broad readership of economists with a limited legal background and lawyers with limited economic skills. Olivier Moreteau, Louisiana State University, US Tort Law and Economics, ed. Michael Faure, provides a highly useful economic overview of the most important topics of tort law. The authors clearly show the main developments of the discussion, examining the results of recent studies and stating their own opinions. Detailed bibliographies are included. The volume has to be warmly recommended to friends and foes of economic analysis who are provided with a comprehensive update in this field while also indicating areas which critics have to focus on. Helmut Koziol, European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law, Austria This volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of the literature on the economic analysis of tort law. In sixteen chapters, the specialist authors guide the reader through the often vast literature in each domain providing a balanced and comprehensive summary. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the field, further refinements to economic models and relevant conclusions and lessons for the policymaker. Tort Law and Economics is part of the Encyclopedia of Law and Economics, and enables readers, some not familiar with law and economics, to obtain an insight in the relevant economic literature concerning tort law and economics. This book will be of interest to lawyers and economists, practitioners and academics interested in accident law, tort law, insurance and regulation. It will also appeal to students in economic analysis of law and policymakers working on prevention of accidents, tort law or compensation of accident victims.

Book Description
Le concept de défense en profondeur est la clé de voûte de la politique de sûreté des installations nucléaires en France et dans le monde depuis les années 1960. Les bons résultats du nucléaire en matière de sûreté et de sécurité ont intéressé les autres secteurs de l'industrie et des technologies. Depuis la fin des années 1990, le monde industriel a amorcé une réflexion sur l'apport de la sûreté nucléaire à la sécurité industrielle pour la formalisation d'une nouvelle politique de prévention des risques en France, en se focalisant sur la transposition du concept de défense en profondeur. Dans ce contexte il apparaît nécessaire d'évaluer la contribution et la transposabilité de ce concept à la prévention des risques industriels et technologiques. De caractère pédagogique, La défense en profondeur présente les aspects théoriques et méthodologiques de la défense en profondeur, en examinant son application dans le nucléaire, puis envisage les voies d'appropriation, de transposition et de contribution de ce concept dans le monde industriel. Afin d'illustrer la démarche de transposition, un exemple concret est traité dans le cadre d'un site industriel classé pour la protection de l'environnement.

Book Description
The European Yearbook has expanded over the years in keeping with the role played by European institutions compared with national ones. It is an indispensable work of reference for anyone dealing with these institutions, which have become so numerous & varied that no-one can possibly memorise all their acronyms or functions. The European Yearbook provides aids for finding one's way through the labyrinth of these organisations which coordinate a variety of activities in over 20 countries. One of the aids is an 'organisation chart' at the beginning of the documentary section, giving a clear picture of the general situation. A perusal of the many contributions in the volume organisation by organisation, shows the full diversity of the activities which Europe is gradually taking over from national governments, with their consent & financial support. Written in both of the Council of Europe's official languages, English & French, the European Yearbook also contains a general index by subject & name which constitutes a very valuable list of articles & provides direct access to the work's subject matter, regardless of the particular organisation concerned, offering a kind of cross-section of the activities of European organisations.
