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.
Nuove soluzioni e vecchie problematiche con riferimento al problema della tassazione delle imprese digitali
2022
Il contributo analizza il diverso approccio che negli studi domestici ed internazionali è stato utilizzato per affrontare il tema della tassazione dell'economia digitale: per un verso il cd. ring-fencing e cioè il tentativo di trovare soluzioni impositive specifiche e mirate alle peculiarità del fenomeno e, per altro verso, quello di considerare l'economia digitale al pari delle tradizionali forme economiche. In tale contesto, dopo aver analizzato i più diffusi fenomeni di base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) posti in essere principalmente dalle multinazionali dell'economia digitale, il contributo analizza le soluzioni che sono state proposte per arginare il fenomeno in campo internazion…
The Investment Performance of U.S. Islamic Mutual Funds
2020
Islamic investment funds have become increasingly important because of high demand from many investors, including those outside the Muslim investment community. This article compares the performance and risk sensitivity of Islamic mutual funds in the United States with that of their conventional peers. This article also analyzes the performance of Islamic funds, and compares this performance with that of socially responsible investment (SRI) mutual funds. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)-based methodology was used for the analysis. The results suggest that over the entire study period (1987&ndash
Promoting the Flexibility of Thermal Prosumers Equipped with Heat Pumps to Support Power Grid Management
2023
The increasing share of renewable energy sources in energy systems will lead to unpredictable moments of surplus/deficit in energy production. To address this issue, users with heat pumps can provide support to power grid operators through flexible unit operation achieved via Demand Response programs. For buildings connected to low-temperature heating networks with ensured third-party access, further room for flexibility can be explored by investigating the production of surplus heat that can be sold to the network. A key aspect lies in the identification of the energy pricing options that could encourage such flexible operation of a heat pump by “thermal prosumers”. To this aim…
L’EQUA TASSAZIONE DELLE MULTINAZIONALI IN EUROPA: IMPOSIZIONE SUL DIGITALE O REGOLE COMUNI PER DETERMINARE GLI IMPONIBILI?
2019
Il tema della fair taxation delle società in Europa viene spesso accoppiato a quello della corretta tassazione delle imprese digitali. A queste ultime, più che ad altre, infatti, si imputa di aver fruito di forme impositive di favore e poco trasparenti. È proprio in quest’ottica che la Commissione ha recentemente formulato due proposte di direttiva per una soluzione “temporanea” ed una “a regime” al problema della tassazione del comparto digitale. Bisogna, tuttavia, comprendere se i più rilevanti fenomeni di “base erosion” e “profit shifting” siano ricollegabili esclusivamente alle modalità con le quali le imprese digitali attuano il loro business o se, invece, essi non siano stati determin…
UME Y LA INTEGRACIÓN DE LOS MERCADOS DE CAPITALES EUROPEOS: RELEVANCIA DEL TIPO DE CAMBIO Y LA INFLACIÓN
2007
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of the European Monetary Union on the hypothesis of an integrated European Capital Market from January 1993 to December 2004. The extent of the period and the use of Fama and MacBeth [1973]'s methodology for estimating a large number of international asset pricing models that includes an Adler and Dumas [1983] model with and without domestic factor make possible to evaluate this hypothesis as a process towards a full integration. However, our results show that the integration is not a uniform process at all times and for all stocks and recedes in the period 2001-04 with the reappearance of a significant domestic risk premium (diversifiable…
The Latent Factors Behind the Urban Travel Behaviour
2014
Abstract This research aims to explore the impact of latent variables, mirroring the users’ preferences, on the individual decision making process regarding the mode of transport. The paper describes the first results of an ongoing research activity, which derives from a pilot study carried out in Palermo. The authors have administered to a sample of travellers a questionnaire and they simulated the mode choice behaviour referring to the random utility theory. Then the transport demand over the entire area of Palermo has been studied in order to design the cordon pricing scenario with the application of an additional cost on private car dedicated to a selected area of the historic centre of…
"The Influence of Accountancy Data on the Transfer Pricing Policy in Romania"
2020
When adopting the transfer pricing policy, tax affects not only the company, but also the main indicators of performance, cash flow and business strategy. Through the transfer pricing policy, which is actually a commercial policy of the company in relation to related parties, methods for determining prices in the future are established, related party transactions, complying with the principle of market value. This article also presents practical elements on the harmonization and fiscal accounting principles in the field of related party transactions, so as to ensure a better management of tax risk. Also, it seeks clarification of conceptual and practical aspects of transfer pricing, welcome…
Understanding the price drivers of successful apps in the mobile app market
2016
In this paper, we take the perspective of app developers. Specifically, based on a sample of top paid apps from three major app stores, i.e., App Store, Google Play, and Blackberry World, we construct a hedonic price model to examine the role of relevant factors in price formation in the app market. Our results suggest a strong evidence of two-sided market effects. In fact, the lower price charged for apps operating as two-sided markets reflect the strategy of subsidising users, due to the positive cross-side externalities they exert on valuable third parties. Surprisingly, the effects of trialability, in-app purchase and mechanisms to build reputation are not significant in the context of …
