A dynamic panel study on digitalization and firm's agility: What drives agility in advanced economies 2009–2018
2021
Abstract Firm agility today is not a factor of competitiveness or success but a survival instrument on the market. Disruptive innovations and technological advancement, together with digitalization, change the role of firm agility. We show that the link between the national/industry level of digitalization and firm agility is statistically robust and essential. We study the link on data from 2009 to 2018 in fifteen EU advanced economies using dynamic panel data modeling. The digitalization impact level differs across firms by ownership type (family to non-family firms). Agility in family firms is strongly influenced by the national/industry level of digitization and investments in intangibl…

Riconfigurazioni identitarie nei contesti urbani degradati: discontinuità e riflessività
2019
Che rilevanza ha il contesto territoriale nei percorsi biografici dei residenti? Che significato assumono in un determinato territorio i turning point, le discontinuità, gli eventi imprevisti che si verificano nella vita degli individui? E ancora, perché soggetti che nascono e vivono in ambienti degradati economicamente e culturalmente riescono a cambiare il corso della propria vita che sembrerebbe ripetersi con modalità abituali per altri consociati (familiari o residenti) con esiti di degrado personale o marginalità sociale? Nell’articolo, attraverso i dati di una ricerca si svilupperà la relazione che intercorre tra discontinuità biografiche e riflessività che nei turning point influenza…
Economic income, historical costing income and conservatism
2020
The paper intends to contribute at the debate on the ‘Evolutionary Advantage of Cost Accounting and Conservatism’ ( Accounting, Economics and Law: A Convivium, 2019. 9. issue) , founded on Braun’s study (2016) about The Ecological Rationality of Historical Costs and Conservatism. Moving from the IASB Conceptual Framework (2013) it stresses the renewed interest in income concept. The economic financial crisis of 2008-9 stimulated discussions between the traditional ‘received view’ of ‘cost-revenue approach’ (historical cost accounting) and ‘balance-sheet approach’ (‘current values’ and ‘present values’, that is ‘economic values’). Revaluations of assets, liabilities and owners’ equities are …
How does disruptive innovation influence the funding decisions of different venture capital investors? An empirical analysis on the role of startups'…
2023
Entrepreneurs present their ideas in a favorable light through compelling communications that may shape the investors' impressions about the value of the startup's technology and its potential to disrupt. Assessing such communications, venture capital (VC) investors get an impression of the startup's technology and shape their willingness to commit resources to it. Since diverse kinds of VC investors pursue alternative investment objectives, they may develop different impressions of the startup's technology and accordingly make different resource commitment decisions. This paper aims to investigate the resource commitment decisions of VC investors when financing startups communicating disru…
Comparison of temperature–mortality associations using observed weather station and reanalysis data in 52 Spanish cities
2020
Abstract Background Most studies use temperature observation data from weather stations near the analyzed region or city as the reference point for the exposure-response association. Climatic reanalysis data sets have already been used for climate studies, but are not yet used routinely in environmental epidemiology. Methods We compared the mortality-temperature association using weather station temperature and ERA-5 reanalysis data for the 52 provincial capital cities in Spain, using time-series regression with distributed lag non-linear models. Results The shape of temperature distribution is very close between the weather station and ERA-5 reanalysis data (correlation from 0.90 to 0.99).…
Latvian Migrants in Great Britain: ‘The Great Departure’, Transnational Identity and Long Distance Belonging
2019
AbstractThis chapter explores the transnational aspects of identity and the long distance belonging of Latvian migrants in Great Britain. In particular, it focuses on the discourses and practices of long distance belonging to Latvia. The article is based on a comparative analysis of The Emigrant Communities of Latvia survey data as well as semi-structured interviews with Latvian migrants in Great Britain. The analytical sections are organised so as to discuss the three main analytical contexts of long distance belonging: ethno-cultural, political and social. In the ethno-cultural context, migrants who identify themselves as ethnic Latvians rediscover and strengthen their links to the Latvia…
L'uguale e il diverso. Come le diseguaglianza deprimono il capitale sociale
2017
Come si creano e come si distruggono lo spirito di cooperazione, la solidarietà, la lealtà, la reciprocità, la fiducia? Quali sono le condizioni che favoriscono (o deprimono) la formazione di capitale sociale? La risposta a questa domanda può illuminare numerosi fenomeni contemporanei quali la crescita della propensione alla chiusura e all’esclusione e il ritorno di manifestazioni discriminatorie, xenofobe e razziste. Anche le peggiori performance economiche del Mezzogiorno possono essere illuminate dalla risposta alla domanda su come si crea (e si distrugge) il capitale sociale.
A rational expectations model for simulation and policy evaluation of the Spanish economy
2010
This paper presents the model used for simulation purposes within the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. REMS (a Rational Expectations Model for the Spanish economy) is a small open economy dynamic general equilibrium model in the vein of the New-Neoclassical-Keynesian synthesis models, with a strongly micro-founded system of equations. In the long run REMS behaves in accordance with the neoclassical growth model. In the short run, it incorporates nominal, real and financial frictions. Real frictions include adjustment costs in consumption (via habits in consumption and rule-of-thumb households) and investment into physical capital. Due to financial frictions, there is no per…
