A company’s solvency is its ability to meet its commitments and obligations, i.e., pay its employees, suppliers, taxes, repay its loans and debt service, and more generally, repay all its debts. There are two types of solvency: short-term solvency, referred to as liquidity, i.e., its ability to meet its day-to-day commitments, and long-term solvency, i.e., its ability to meet its commitments structurally. Financial analysis offers numerous tools for diagnosing this problem, implementing remediation decisions, and avoiding bankruptcy.

What is conversion in digital marketing?

Conversion, essential in digital marketing, refers to a visitor's action in completing a key objective, such as a purchase or registration. Three elements are fundamental to maximizing conversions: an optimized user experience, with a fast and intuitive website like Amazon's; relevant and personalized messaging, supported by clear pages and effective calls to action; and finally, trust, reinforced by customer reviews or guarantees. Examples like Spotify, Booking.com, and Netflix demonstrate how simplifying the customer journey or creating a sense of urgency can transform visitors into loyal customers. Digital tools, such as A/B testing and heatmaps, facilitate these optimizations. With artificial intelligence, companies like Google and IBM Watson further personalize experiences, increasing conversion rates. Conversion, far more than just an indicator, is now a key method for transforming intent into concrete action.

What is growth hacking?

Growth hacking is a method focused on rapid business growth that combines marketing, innovation, and agile experimentation. Popularized by Sean Ellis in 2010, it is based on five key stages of the customer journey: Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, and Referrals. Companies like Airbnb, Revolut, and Spotify use this approach to attract, retain, and turn their users into brand ambassadors. With artificial intelligence, growth hacking is evolving, leveraging innovative tools to optimize targeting, automate tasks, and maximize ROI. This creative and data-driven methodology has become essential for companies seeking to accelerate their growth.

What is inbound marketing?

Inbound marketing is a strategy that attracts consumers with relevant and non-intrusive content, rather than soliciting them through aggressive advertising. Popularized by HubSpot in 2006, this method is based on three key steps: attracting visitors with quality content, engaging these visitors through personalized interactions, and building customer loyalty by turning them into brand ambassadors. It uses techniques such as search engine optimization (SEO), email automation, and landing pages. Artificial intelligence enhances its effectiveness by making campaigns more personalized and engaging. This sustainable strategy puts the consumer at the heart of marketing efforts, while providing businesses with a powerful tool for developing strong and lasting relationships.

What is retail media?

Retail media is a key driver of commerce, projected to represent 25% of digital advertising by 2026 according to BCG. It encompasses advertising strategies deployed by brands on retailers' websites, mobile apps, and physical stores to reach consumers just before or during their purchases. This provides increased visibility for brands and allows retailers to monetize their customer data. Present across all retail sectors, retail media is multi-channel, including formats such as banners, native advertising, and video. Ads can be displayed on the retailer's website (on-site) to drive sales or on partner sites (off-site) for retargeting. The market, dominated by players like Amazon and Alibaba, relies on precise data collection and sophisticated targeting tools.

What is the Initial Coin Offering?

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a modern fundraising method for start-ups, similar to crowdfunding but using digital tokens instead of traditional cash or rewards. Investors purchase these tokens, which they can later use to buy the product or resell for potential profit. ICOs provide entrepreneurs with a global financing opportunity while offering investors early access to innovative projects. Overall, ICOs connect entrepreneurship, finance, and blockchain technology, making them a revolutionary tool for start-up funding.

Environmental Tax Policies in Emerging Markets: Does Confidence in Political Institutions Matter?

The goal of this study is to examine how environmental taxes influence the comparative advantage in environmental products and carbon emissions within emerging economies. To gain a better understanding, we examine whether this impact changes depending on the level of government integrity. The results indicate that increased environmental taxes mitigate the comparative advantage in environmental goods for emerging markets. However, for countries with high levels of government integrity, higher environmental taxes enhance their competitive edge in environmental goods. Additionally, our findings show that although a rise in environmental taxes is associated with higher carbon emissions, raising such taxes results in a reduction in carbon emissions for emerging economies with solid government integrity. These findings suggest that robust political institutions are crucial in promoting the comparative advantage of emerging markets in environmental goods and mitigating climate change. In the absence of substantial confidence in political or governmental institutions, the efficient implementation of climate taxes poses considerable challenges. Furthermore, we observe that an increase in the comparative advantage of environmental goods results in a decrease in carbon emissions.

In Machine Learning We Trust: A Bankruptcy Prediction Application

Recently, ensemble-based machine learning models have been widely adopted and have demonstrated their effectiveness in bankruptcy prediction. However, these algorithms often function as black boxes, making it difficult to understand how they generate forecasts. This lack of transparency has led to growing interest in interpretability methods within artificial intelligence research. In this paper, we assess the predictive performance of Random Forest, LightGBM, XGBoost, and NGBoost (Natural Gradient Boosting for probabilistic prediction) on French firms across various industries, with a forecasting horizon of one to five years. We then apply Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP), a model-agnostic interpretability technique, to explain XGBoost, one of the best-performing models in our study. SHAP highlights the contribution of each feature to the model’s predictions, enabling a clearer understanding of how financial and macroeconomic factors influence bankruptcy risk. Moreover, it allows for the explanation of individual predictions, making black-box models more applicable in credit risk management.

Algorithmic trading, what if it is just an illusion?

We experimentally investigate whether and how the potential presence of algorithmic trading (AT) in human-only asset markets can influence humans’ price forecasts, trading activities and price dynamics. Two trading strategies commonly employed by high-frequency traders, spoofing (SP) – associated with market manipulation – and market making (MM) – seen as liquidity provision – are considered.
