Asset Tangibility, information asymmetries and intangibles as determinants of family firms leverage
2022
Using a sample of Spanish tourism small and medium-sized firms, we have tested the impact of family control, publicly-available information and tangibility on financial structure, providing a multi-theoretical model that incorporates contributions from the classical theory of finance, inspired by agency theory, the behavioural theory of the firm and strategic theory. The results point to the need to jointly consider the effects of information transmission practices, asset investment decisions and ownership structures on debt capacity. The results show how family control is associated with propensity to take on debt, so that the desire to maintain social control and socioemotional wealth pre…
Features of W production in p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions
2017
We consider the production of inclusive W bosons in variety of high-energy hadronic collisions: p--p, p--$\overline{\rm p}$, p--Pb, and Pb--Pb. In particular, we focus on the resulting distributions of charged leptons from W decay that can be measured with relatively low backgrounds. The leading-order expressions within the collinearly factorized QCD indicate that the center-of-mass energy dependence at forward/backward rapidities should be well approximated by a simple power law. The scaling exponent is related to the small-$x$ behaviour of the quark distributions, which is largely driven by the parton evolution. An interesting consequence is the simple scaling law for the lepton charge as…
Amor y misoginia. A propósito de "amor fou" de Marta Sanz
2019
En este breve texto abordamos una aproximación a las relaciones amorosas, la misoginia romántica y su vinculación con las relaciones asimétricas de género en sociedades occidentales contemporáneas, a partir del análisis discursivo de la novela Amor Fou de la escritora Marta Sanz (2018). Todo discurso narrativo imaginado es, simultáneamente, producto de la realidad social e histórica en la que se inscribe y productor de las representaciones simbólicas hegemónicas que sustentan relaciones instituidas de desigualdad entre los distintos agentes sociales. Desde esta perspectiva, el análisis que proponemos de esta ficción narrativa se inscribe en el cruce de algunas renovaciones epistemológicas y…
