Self-Efficacy Between Previous and Current Mathematics Performance of Undergraduate Students: An Instrumental Variable Approach to Exposing a Causal …
2021
PurposeSelf-efficacy has been argued theoretically and shown empirically to be an essential construct for students’ improved learning outcomes. However, there is a dearth of studies on its causal effects on performance in mathematics among university students. Meanwhile, it will be erroneous to assume that results from other fields of studies generalize to mathematics learning due to the task-specificity of the construct. As such, attempts are made in the present study to provide evidence for a causal relationship between self-efficacy and performance with a focus on engineering students following a mathematics course at a Norwegian university.MethodThe adopted research design in the presen…
Valeur boursière versus valeur comptable
2011
International audience; Cet article a pour objet d’apporter une explication à l’écart constaté entre la valeur comptable et la valeur boursière des sociétés. Nous avons supposé qu’il peut être expliqué par l’irrationalité et « l’auto-référentialité » du marché, ainsi que par l’incapacité du modèle comptable traditionnel à traduire la valeur de la firme. Nos résultats corroborent la majorité de nos hypothèses et montrent que la distorsion entre la valeur comptable et la valeur boursière est une conséquence directe de la comptabilité au coût historique, de la prudence comptable, de la non-activation des certains éléments immatériels, ainsi que de la mauvaise évaluation (mispricing) des titres…
The application of intellectual capital reports in local authorities: analysis and empirical evidence
2011
This paper aims to investigate intellectual capital management in a public organisation as the Chambers of Commerce; in particular, whether and to what extent intellectual capital contributes to overall accountability and what role intellectual capital plays as a management tool. In order to answer these questions, the paper examines a case study, the Chamber of Commerce of Verbania Cusio Ossola that, at present, is one of the few in Italy, which prepares an intellectual capital report, by dedicating to it a special section in its social budget, where IC is reported. The paper also describes the intellectual capital report used in the Chamber of Commerce, the information supplied and the ro…
Comparing reference point based interactive multiobjective optimization methods without a human decision maker
2022
AbstractInteractive multiobjective optimization methods have proven promising in solving optimization problems with conflicting objectives since they iteratively incorporate preference information of a decision maker in the search for the most preferred solution. To find the appropriate interactive method for various needs involves analysis of the strengths and weaknesses. However, extensive analysis with human decision makers may be too costly and for that reason, we propose an artificial decision maker to compare a class of popular interactive multiobjective optimization methods, i.e., reference point based methods. Without involving any human decision makers, the artificial decision make…
Is Sentiment Risk Priced By Stock Market?
2012
International audience; This study tests if the financial markets price the investors sentiment risk. We construct portfolios based upon the stock returns exposure to sentiment. Our results show that the portfolio returns are positively correlated with the exposure of stocks to sentiment. The strategy that consists of buying stocks with the highest exposure to sentiment and selling stocks with the lowest exposure to sentiment generates a significant raw profit. Exploring the sources of profit, we find that neither the traditional risk factors nor the momentum factor can account for the profit. However, we find that the addition of the sentiment risk premium contributes to explain the profit.

La hubris manageriale quale fonte della irresponsabilità d’impresa: uno studio esplorativo
2014
Obiettivo del paper: L’ondata di scandali etici che ha colpito intensamente il mondo delle imprese a partire dalla fine del XX secolo ha fatto emergere l’esigenza di esplorare i meccanismi istituzionali tesi a evitare nuovi casi di corporate social irresponsibility (CSI). S’intende contribuire a tale dibattito introducendo la trappola della hubris manageriale quale determinante della CSI. Metodologia: Esame qualitativo-longitudinale del caso Parmalat nel periodo in cui è stata sotto la guida del suo fondatore Calisto Tanzi (1961-2003). L’analisi del caso segue i criteri scientifici del campionamento teorico, della triangolazione dei fatti e della periodizzazione della narrazione. Risultati:…
El régimen económico de las sociedades cooperativas: situación actual y apuntes para una reforma
2007
The transitional situation of accounting in the European Union, assuming that an international approach exists, involves highly significant changes in Spain’s legislation on companies and accounting. In fact, reforms have been drawn up that affect accounting aspects of the Code of Commerce and therefore the General Accounting Plan, which will have a bearing on the relatively recently approved adaptation of accounting to the cooperative sector in the form of Order 3614 / 2003 issued by the Ministry of Economy on 16 December. From the economic, financial and accounting point of view it can be seen that there are discrepancies in the criteria of the laws governing cooperatives, which in some c…

Panorama actual de la contabilidad pública: Análisis de la situación española dentro de su entorno internacional
2003
In the last years, international governmental accounting standards have been developed, with an especial relevance in the case of IFAC pronouncements. On the other hand, important experiences for reforming public sector accounting are in progress in different countries and entities, as in the case of the OECD, NATO and European Commission. Simultaneously, a new conceptual framework has been set up, in a parallel way to business accounting. During the first half of the nineties, many accounting innovations and reforms have been introduced in Spanish governmental accounting. However, the new international developments require a deep reform of our system, in order to adapt its principles and s…
