International audience ; This research focuses on the score of intellectual capital perceived by analysts of an SRI asset management fund in relation to the level of European corporate governance and the institutional context in which it is situated: the country, regulation of the labor market and culture. We have a constant sample of 286 listed European companies and groups in the years 2010-2012. The methodology used is a longitudinal regression in panel data. The results show that governance practices are significantly associated with the intellectual capital score and that the institutional variables: country, labor market legislation and cultural elements have contrasting effects on the three dimensions of intellectual capital: human capital, structural capital and relational capital. ; Cette recherche s'intéresse au score du capital intellectuel perçu par les analystes d'un fonds de gestion d'actifs ISR en lien avec le niveau de gouvernance d'entreprises européennes et le contexte institutionnel dans lequel elles s'insèrent : le pays, la régulation du marché du travail et la culture.

We study the link between the choice of governance and political hazards using municipal school canteens. We provide evidence that in politically contested cities, mayors are more likely to choose to "make" rather than "buy" to avoid challenge of the contract with a private partner. A higher probability of losing office – proxied by close victory margins and political concentration – increases the probability to "make". We also provide evidence that in cities where the potential challenge on sustainable supply is high, mayors tend to "make" also to signal trustworthiness to the voter. A higher presence of ecologist's citizens and alternative supply organizations – proxied by the presence of Agenda 21 and the presence of alternative and organic food shops – increases the probability to "make".

Barbara Bruce argues that, through the trope of collection and the related motifs of gifting and hoarding, John Richardson's Wacousta offers a critical assessment of British rule in Upper Canada not only in its foundational years but also in Richardson's own time.
