The structure of this paper is as follows. Section 1 introduces the paper. Section 2 analyzes some drivers of the bank loans market in the current financial crisis.

Section 4 concludes.
Emerging Markets and the Global Financial Crisis
2010
Over the 1990s, crises developed in emerging markets and, while they did send shockwaves across the world, their effects were perceived mostly by other emerging markets.1 The domestic and international policy recommendations that followed focused on strategies to reduce this instability, seen as a threat to the world economy. At the end of the 2000s, the world seems to have gone upside down. The 2008/2009 global financial crisis started earlier in 2007 with a sharp rise in defaults on sub-prime mortgages in one of the most advanced nations, the US, and quickly spread through the interbank market to become an international credit and liquidity squeeze. The credit crisis involved other indust…
Credit derivatives e catena del valore del rischio di credito: le determinanti delle scelte di de-integrazione.
2013
This paper analyses the drivers of the credit risk transfer market in the credit risk value chain. The central line of my research is to explain why the credit derivatives market is a case of credit risk value chain disintegration. I examine the determinants that explain the use of credit derivatives by banks in the lending business. Transaction cost economics represents the starting point of my research. Competitive advantages of banking firms, standardization of information and financial instruments, financial regulation and shareholder value view help us understand the creation of credit risk transfer markets.
Innovazione finanziaria e instabilità: il trasferimento del rischio di credito
2011
This paper aims to point out the role of credit risk transfer market in the financial system. The advent of a credit risk market has profoundly altered the role of banking firms into one of asset originator and asset distributor rather than the asset holder. The traditional economics of banking has changed in an important way and the new business model has evolved as a result of financial innovation. The main results of the paper are that the lending process disintegration and the development of the credit risk transfer market represent a key element in the recent financial risis. Incentive structures faced by various agents in the financial intermediation chain also became dysfunctional. B…
Financial Fragmentation and Economic Growth in Europe
2015
Using industry data from Eurostat and applying the Rajan-Zingales methodology, we investigate the real growth effects of banking sector integration in the European Union. Our sample stretches from 2000 until 2012 and includes the phase of rapid financial integration before the global financial crisis as well as the following phase of financial fragmentation and bank deleveraging. We find evidence that banking sector integration had a more than four times stronger growth effect during the crisis than in normal times. Growth effects are also stronger in times of domestic bank deleveraging. We conclude that concerns of European policy makers about fragmentation in the European banking sector a…
Literāro darbu digitalizēšanas tiesiskie aspekti
2016
Bakalaura darbā aplūkoti ar literāro darbu digitalizēšanu un tās rezultātu publiskošanu saistītie juridiskie jautājumi. Par pamatjautājumu, uzskatāms tas, vai uz digitalizētiem literārajiem darbiem attiecināmais regulējums ir identisks normām, kas attiecināmas uz papīra formāta izdevumiem. Viens no darba mērķiem ir noskaidrot, vai ar literāro darbu digitalizēšanu saistītās tiesību normas nodrošina efektīvu un modernajai pasaulei atbilstošu informācijas aprites kārtību. Darba gaitā secināts, ka darbu digitalizēšanas jautājumos vēl nepastāv vienota tiesiskā prakse. Vienlaikus konstatēta sabiedrības interese par e-bibliotēkas izveidi, tomēr tā kā e-bibliotēku tiesiski nav iespējams pielīdzināt…

Savstarpējo aizdevumu (peer-to-peer lending) platformu darbības regulējuma problemātika Latvijā.
2021
Finanšu tehnoloģiju straujā attīstība radījusi bezprecedenta situāciju, kurā ieguldījumi finanšu instrumentos pieejami ikvienam – nepieciešama vien pieeja internetam un nedaudz naudas. Līdzīgi lielai daļai Eiropas valstu Latvija uz jaunā koncepta finanšu pakalpojumiem nav spējusi reaģēt operatīvi - Latvijas jurisdikcijā pēdējo piecu gadu laikā reģistrēts liels skaits kolektīvās finansēšanas platformu, kas bez atbilstošas licences interesentiem sniedz ieguldījumu pakalpojumus. Analizējot spēkā esošos normatīvos aktus un pētot Latvijas savstarpējo aizdevumu platformu tirgu, autore raksturo neviennozīmīgos savstarpējo aizdevumu platformu darbības juridiskos aspektus, kā arī skaidro, salīdzina …

The changing paradigm of document delivery : exploring researchers’ peer to peer practices
2016
Purpose By definition, interlibrary lending is a process involving two libraries. The digital revolution changed the method by which the scientific documents were disseminated during the past couple of decades. Nowadays, researchers can exploit several software applications that enable them to upload, save and deliver their documents from one peer to another without the need for a middle man. This paper reviews this change via a study conducted in two Finnish academic universities. The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which researchers have adopted these new possibilities for document dissemination and how this change will affect the role of the libraries in document delive…
