Goût pour les jeux vidéo et goût pour le sport sont souvent opposés : en termes de types d’activités (les premiers d’intérieur, passifs, peu propices à la socialisation, le second de dépense physique, de plein air, bon pour la santé, etc.) ; en termes de genre : les garçons seraient les plus « touchés » par le monde virtuel ; enfin en termes de « politique », la consommation des jeux vidéo étant opposée aux « vraies » pratiques culturelles… Une analyse secondaire de l’enquête sur les loisirs culturels des 6-14 ans fournit un éclairage précis sur la façon dont pratiques numériques virtuelles et pratiques réelles s’opposent, se substituent ou s’articulent : elle met à jour les ressorts qui sont communs aux goûts pour les deux types d’activité et révèle une forte dimension identitaire. Elle met également en évidence la permanence des déterminants sexués en matière de loisirs. La comparaison des interactions qui se nouent dans le monde réel avec les interactions virtuelles qui caractérisent les jeux vidéo dessine de nouvelles approches des phénomènes d’identification affective dans ces derniers. L’importance accordée à l’esthétique des corps virtuels pourrait ainsi être rapprochée de celle prise par l’apparence corporelle dans la construction identitaire des jeunes. Loin de constituer une pratique virtuelle séparée du reste de leur vie, qui serait porteuse d’addiction ou de comportements violents, les jeux vidéo prennent place dans une élaboration de soi à la fois personnelle et sociale qui facilite l’identification à un genre sexué et à un univers culturel. Contrasts are often drawn between the liking for video games and the liking for sport. First, as regards the kind of activity: one passive, indoors, cut off from others; the other physically active, outdoor, healthy, etc. Second, as regards gender: boys are considered to be more allured by the virtual dimension.Third, as regards policy: video game playing is often set against “real” cultural practices.

Thanks to the real estate industry’s strong growth since the early 2000s, financial investors have shown increased interest in it. This has paved the way for the quick development of specialized investment vehicles and especially Real Estate Mutual Funds. This is precisely what led to the writing of this paper.
As a first step, it aims at describing the economic environment that surrounds this specific industry between 2003 and 2015. It provides information and details about the main drivers of the expansion of the US housing bubble. It further illustrates the disastrous consequences of the bubble’s rupture on the global economy and the way financial markets recovered over the next years.
In a second step, it analyses the past performances of global REMF during the pre-crisis (i.e. 2003-2006), crisis (i.e. 2007-2009) and post-crisis (2010-2015) periods. While REMF market showed strong signs of inefficiencies throughout the 1990s, the paper demonstrated standardization in the industry, as the results were fairly similar to those obtained by the broad mutual fund industry. In fact, managers were no longer able to consistently outperform the real estate benchmark over the period.
Following that, the paper used regression models to highlight the factors (i.e. total expense ratio, turnover ratio) impacting the REMF alphas. It found that REMF with the lowest TER and turnover ratio tend to produce better performances. However, the relatively low r-squared suggested that no general conclusions could be drawn from this analysis,
Finally, it provides a cursory analysis of the existing relationship between the stock market and the real estate mutual fund industry at the global level. With the exception of the 2000-2006 period, which featured contrasting trends in the economy (i.e. the quick expansion of the housing bubble and the recovery of the stock market), it found a strong correlation between them. This in turn suggested the low diversification benefits from the real estate industry, when added to a world stock portfolio.
