Explaining local governments' cost efficiency: Controllable and uncontrollable factors
2020
Abstract Efficient and effective management of public resources is essential at all levels of government. This issue has gained momentum due to the strains that affected public sector finances after the onset of the 2007/08 crisis in many countries, particularly in Europe. In this article, we evaluate the influence of environmental variables that affect local government efficiency in one European country, Spain, during the crisis years (2009–2015). To this end, and considering the possible influence of both controllable and uncontrollable factors, we use an approach that is able to analyse their impact across the conditional distribution of performance, and which controls for the (likely) e…
Small fish in big ponds : Connections of green finance assets to commodity and sectoral stock markets
2022
We analyze return and volatility connectedness of the rising green asset and the well-established US industry stock and commodity markets from September 2010 to July 2021. We find that the time-varying return and volatility connectedness have exhibited serious crisis jumps. Some individual assets of both the green and commodity markets are in connection to the US sectoral stock market returns, and the volatility connections are even more common than the return connections. Furthermore, some financial and economic uncertainty indicators manifest positive impacts from the volatility of some `big pond markets for e.g. commodities, whereas some others affect the connectedness negatively. Additi…
La regolazione indipendente del settore ferroviario
2020
The wide regulatory power of the Independent Transport Authority on the railway sector. The National Independent Authority for Transport, imposed by European Law and established in Italy in 2013, is characterized by using wide powers of control, regulation and sanction, which cover all transport sectors. Regulatory competences seem in particular to interfere, in some areas, with the functions, also of political direction, of the State, Regional and Local Government, as well as the competences of the other administrative independent bodies such as the National Antitrust Authority or National Anti-Corruption Authority. This requires the provision of forms of coordination and cooperation beetw…

Impacto de la normativa contable del Banco de España en el resultado de las entidades de crédito españolas. El efecto de la provisión genérica.
2015
RESUMEN DE LA TESIS A INCLUIR EN TESEO Las entidades de crédito españolas utilizan en su contabilidad del deterioro de inversiones crediticias el denominado modelo de provisión dinámica del Banco de España desde el año 2000, de carácter prudencial anticíclico. Este modelo es único en el ámbito de la Unión Europea, donde desde 2005 se siguen las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) en la elaboración de las cuentas anuales de los grupos cotizados. El modelo del Banco de España se concreta en la denominada provisión genérica, que tiene un efecto directo en la cuenta de Pérdidas y Ganancias, y que no está admitido en el marco de las NIIF. En esta tesis doctoral se aborda el e…
French PhDs employed in private sector. The signal effect of chaotic pathways
2017
International audience; This research deals with the question of french PhDs´ career trajectories and especially those that lead to private sector employment. Using longitudinal survey "Generation" from Cereq, which allows to observe professional paths over the first five years of working life, we show that for PhDs graduated in 2010, public-sector research remains the main opening.There are few career paths leading to private sector and PhDs working in firms found their job at a very early stage in their working life. Using data analysis and econometrics methods we find that thesis conditions, professional expectations and cahotic pathways are obstacles to employment in firms.
