Portfolio diversification in the sovereign credit swap markets
2018
We develop models for portfolio diversification in the sovereign credit default swaps (CDS) markets and show that, despite literature findings that sovereign CDS spreads are affected by global factors, there is sufficient idiosyncratic risk to be diversified. However, we identify regime switching in the times series of CDS spreads and spread returns, and the optimal diversified strategies can be regime dependent. The developed models trade off the CVaR risk measure against expected return, consistently with the statistical properties of spreads. We consider three investment strategies suited for different CDS market participants: for investors with long positions, speculators that hold unco…

Between Criminalization and Protection. The Italian Way of Dealing with Migrant Smuggling and Trafficking within the European and International Conte…
2019
This volume is devoted to the dark side of human mobility, that is migrant smuggling, and, linked with it, human trafficking. Both subjects will be mainly treated from an Italian perspective; however, due to their having a generally transnational character, the analysis will necessarily require that international and supranational actions/measures also be taken into account. Moreover, the legal perspective will be supplemented by the phenomenological/criminological one, through which the authors try to provide the work with a realistic dimension aimed at grasping the practical aspects of both migrant smuggling and human trafficking emerging from the different ways in which such crimes are d…
Les valeurs de l'Union Européenne à l'épreuve de la crise grecque
2016
Il est important de montrer qu'il existe une certaine différence entre les valeurs de l'Union Européenne telles qu'elles sont perçues par les citoyens, ces mêmes valeurs telles qu'elles découlent des traités et de la jurisprudence, et telles qu'on peut les déduire concrètement du fonctionnement de l'Union. De ce dernier point de vue, la crise grecque au sein de la zone euro montre que, derrière les discours et les professions de foi, on constate au sein d'une Union qui s'est édifiée sur l'axe économique une relative incertitude quant aux valeurs qu'elle est censée mettre en pratique aujourd'hui. Cet article examine notamment les conséquences de la crise grecque sur quelques valeurs de l'UE …

Why France and India? The Convergence Hypothesis
2016
The cross-fertilization of insights derived from French and Indian intellectual history has ignited a pluridisciplinary reflection on the role played by these two countries in the fabric of the knowledge-based economy in the twenty-first century. On the one hand, the Age of Enlightenment in Western Europe in the eighteenth century, brought forward an autonomous position for knowledge in human societies, and, on the other hand, it was once predicted that India’s future would be built in her classrooms (Education Commission). Finally, we lay the ground for the characterization of a triple knowledge-based convergence between the two higher-education systems on academic, economic and institutio…
The generalizability of Older Adult Self-Report (OASR) syndromes of psychopathology across 20 societies
2020
Contains fulltext : 217516.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Objectives: As the world population ages, psychiatrists will increasingly need instruments for measuring constructs of psychopathology that are generalizable to diverse elders. The study tested whether syndromes of co-occurring problems derived from self-ratings of psychopathology by US elders would fit self-ratings by elders in 19 other societies. Methods/design: The Older Adult Self-Report (OASR) was completed by 12 826 adults who were 60 to 102 years old in 19 societies from North and South America, Asia, and Eastern, Northern, Southern, and Western Europe, plus the United States. Individual and multigroup confirmatory…
Analysis of the evolution of the EU regulatory approach on virtual assets
2022
The technological advancements of virtual assets are growing exponentially in numbers now providing better security and enhanced privacy for its users. Furthermore, users may scramble and tumble virtual assets disguising their records of transactions. Innovations such as these although allow users to enjoy enhanced privacy in a world of constant supervision and “liberalization” of currency from the state, has however also opened a milieu for criminals to operate in, allowing money laundering, terrorism financing, tax and sanctions evasion, and other financial crimes to go unnoticed. In that regard, this thesis focuses on how the European Union has managed to catch up with the continuous inn…
