Corporate governance mechanisms and performance in the Islamic banking industry
2018
El objetivo de este proyecto de investigación es arrojar luz sobre las relaciones entre algunas características del Gobierno Corporativo (GC) en la banca Islámica y su desempeño. En primer lugar, las instituciones financieras Islámicas han experimentado una alta tasa de crecimiento durante las últimas décadas.

En tercer lugar, hay necesidad de explorar las causas de la reciente crisis financiera global, que en muchos países alcanzó proporciones sistémicas. En cua…
Le BCC e la crisi internazionale: un’analisi comparata per macro regioni
2014
La crisi nanziaria internazionale, che ha assunto connotati maggiormente strutturali a partire dal 2009, ha prodotto e etti disomogenei sulle performance delle banche di credito cooperativo italiane, manifestandosi con maggiore intensità sulle BCC operanti nel Sud Italia. La crisi nanziaria ha messo a nudo talune fragilità endogene, riconducibili essenzialmente al ristretto ambito di operatività, alla carenza di competenze in comparti di attività diversi dall’intermediazione creditizia tradizionale, nonché all’orientamento quasi esclusivo verso la clientela di piccole dimensioni. Per contrastare gli e etti della crisi globale appare necessario un processo di innovazione che passi attra…
Growing Like Germany: Local Public Debt, Local Banks, Low Private Investment
2021
The paper uses a panel of more than 1m German firms over 2010-2016, to provide the first firm-bank level evidence of local crowding out for a developed economy characterized by low interest rates and fiscal austerity. Our mechanism relies on two structural features of Germany's banking landscape: the local segmentation of credit markets for small and medium-sized firms (SME) and the role of local public banks in local public finance. Local public banks dominate lending to small and medium firms in Germany and also have an explicit mandate to lend to the local public sector. With spreads on local government debt at all-time lows, local public banks tried to break even, using their market pow…
Notations et écarts de rentabilité : le marché français avant l'euro
2003
The main task of this paper is to confront two classical measures of default risk of the issuer, the rating and the spread. The first is attributed by agencies specialized in this activity (Standard and Poor's or Moody's) while the second results directly from the market price of the bond. This article studies this link over a period of two years for about forty French denominated bonds. Two measures of the spread are used and the results obtained show the very partial consideration of this information by the investors on the French bond market.

Factors influencing mobile banking continuous use in Sub-Sahara Africa : A study of mobile banking users in Nigeria
2019
The ubiquitous diffusion of information and communications technology is fundamentally impacting several sectors. In the financial services sub-sector, the convenience and speed that mobile banking (m-banking) applications offer users have made it one of the most popular applications in use. However, the growth trajectory of the application is questionably different as it has continually seen a decline in the Nigerian market. The aim of this study is therefore to examine the factors influencing m-banking continuous use in an emerging market context by using a hybrid of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2), uses and gratification, and privacy theories. Survey data were…

"LA FINANZA PER L'ESTERO:IL PUNTO DI VISTA DELLE BANCHE LOCALI E DELLE PMI MARCHIGIANE"
2009
Questo studio descrive la relazione tra funzione finanziaria e strategie di internazionalizzazione delle PMI, visto che non risulta possibile tracciare una netta linea di demarcazione tra aspetti finanziari e di economia reale, soprattutto a seguito delle sfide competitive lanciate dalla globalizzazione e dalla diffusione di un nuovo modo di concepire il rapporto banca-impresa secondo le regole di Basilea 2. Un’attenta analisi degli aspetti attinenti sia all’offerta da parte delle banche locali della Regione Marche di prodotti/servizi finanziari volti a favorire l’ingresso delle PMI nei mercati esteri, in modo da poter valutare quanto tali prodotti/servizi siano conosciuti dalle banche loca…
