Unconventional monetary policy reaction functions: evidence from the US
2020
Abstract We specify unconventional monetary policy reaction functions for the Fed using linear and nonlinear econometric frameworks. We find that nonstandard policy measures are largely driven by the dynamics of inflation and the output gap, with the effect being particularly strong during QE rounds. Moreover, we uncover the presence of asymmetry and regime dependence in central bank’s actions since the global financial crisis, especially concerning the response of the term spread and the shadow short rate to the growth rate of central bank reserves. From a policy perspective and given the lack of a systematic response of monetary policy to asset price growth in nonstandard times, our findi…
The Diffusion of Crisis-Related Communication on Social Media: An Empirical Analysis of Facebook Reactions
2018
During a crisis, authorities need to effectively disseminate information. We address the problem of deciding how crisis-related information should be published on Facebook to reach as many people as possible. We examine three recent terrorist attacks in Berlin, London and Stockholm. Our specific focus lies with official Facebook pages by municipalities and emergency service agencies. We collected posts about the events, along with the number of shares, likes and emotional reactions to them. In a regression analysis, several variables were examined that capture decisions on which information to publish and how. Posts containing condolences were found to result in three times as many emotiona…
Information processing in the stock market around anticipated accounting information: earnings release
2012
Earnings announcements are anticipated events with significant price impacts. This fact can motivate informed traders to trade on private information and liquidity providers to reduce liquidity in order to be careful about insider trading. In this paper, we examine the effect of earnings announcements on information asymmetry. Specifically, we investigate whether liquidity suppliers value the possibility of trading with informed agents and whether market behaviour reflects this. To achieve this objective, we take into account the sign of the surprise, the quarter of the announcement, the quantity of previous information and the quality of the information released. One of the main results of…
On the Nature of Information Management in Complex and Natural Disasters
2015
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present reflections on the nature of information management (IM) and its role and function to support coordination in one of the largest humanitarian crises of our time, the Syria crisis. Starting from general principles for humanitarian information management, we analyze the challenges that information managers face in conflict situations, when information is – more than anywhere else – a source of power and influence. This work outlines the interdependence of advocacy and operational information management, the sensitivity of information, and barriers to information sharing. The results are complex and highly interlaced information and coordination…
An Iterative Information Retrieval Approach from Social Media in Crisis Situations
2019
During to past few years, social media have gained a pivotal role in crisis communication. Its usage has ranged from informing the public about the status of a crisis and what precaution need to be taken, to family members checking on the safety of loved ones. Despite the widespread use of social media in crises situations and the clear potential benefit from collecting potential critical information from social media, emergency management services (EMSs) are still reluctant to use social media as a source of information to improve their situational awareness. One of the reasons for the reluctance is that crises management are typically overloaded with information. Adding social media will …
Banking Crises and Short and Medium Term Output Losses in Developing Countries: The Role of Structural and Policy Variables
2010
The aim of this work is to assess the short and medium term impact of banking crises on developing economies. Using an unbalanced panel of 159 countries from 1970 to 2006, the paper shows that banking crises produce significant output losses, both in the short and in the medium term. The effect depends on structural and policy variables. Output losses are larger for relatively more wealthy economies, characterized by a higher level of financial deepening and larger current account imbalances. Flexible exchange rates, fiscal and monetary policy have been found to be efficient tools to attenuate the effect of the crises. Among banking intervention policies, liquidity support resulted to be th…

Entre inclusión y exclusión : trayectorias laborales juveniles en contexto de crisis
2017
En este documento de trabajo se propone un mapa analítico de las distintas tipologías de trayectorias e identidades laborales de los jóvenes en un contexto de crisis, el Mezzogiorno d'Italia. La denominación utilizada delata la identificación no solo de un espacio geográfico, el Sur de Italia, sino de un espacio semántico, de una categoría que es sinónimo de estancamiento económico y de consecuentes dificultades en la inserción de los jóvenes en el mercado del trabajo. Hemos analizado las distintas estrategias utilizadas por los jóvenes para construir su identidad y su trayectoria laboral, a la hora de incorporarse al mercado laboral en un contexto de crisis prolongada en el tiempo. El anál…

En las relaciones familiares post crisis de pareja pueden darse situaciones que originen el enriquecimiento sin causa de una de las partes en perjuicio de la otra. Encontramos ejemplos de ello en cuestiones como la pensión de alimentos, atribución de la vivienda familiar, o indemnizaciones por rupturas de parejas de hecho.
Child Protection in Mediterranean Countries: Italy and Greece
2023
Abstract This chapter explores the child protection systems in Italy and Greece. Both countries have to deal with immigrant children due to the conflict between the rights of minors and immigration laws on control and defense. In Italy, the child protection system is the result of a patchwork of norms and regulations addressing different societal demands and pressures. Family and cash-transfers are fundamental factors in Italy’s child welfare system. Greece, on the other hand, has adopted fragmented measures and policies connected with financial benefits, income support, social security, social care for disabled people, and rehabilitation for children at risk. The chapter also notes how the…
