Arms exports and restructuring in the Russian defence industry
2004
The defence industry has been one of the industries most seriously affected by the Russian economic crisis since 1992. The main restructuring policy applied in the industry during the first years of transition was conversion, that is, trying to re-use military resources for productive civil ends. By the mid-1990s, however, such a policy was already considered a failure, and since 1997 the Ministry of Economy has taken over the running of the defence industry and changed the direction of reform. In the summer of 1999 the responsibility for the running of the defence industry was transferred to five independent agencies, and this remains the situation. From 1997 the aim was still to restructu…
Post-Soviet studies and the transition: the case of the Russian economy
2008
The disintegration of the Soviet Union meant that an essential object of study for research analysing centralised planning disappeared and the reference point for a lot of work dealing with the comparison of economic systems was lost. It could be assumed that such a structural alteration might lead to reduced interest in Russian studies and a crisis for the scientific community involved. The purpose of this study is to test this idea and to show how the scientific community interested in post-Soviet studies has changed during the transition period.
Rusia y la política energética de la Unión Europea
2010
A raíz de las irregularidades en el suministro de gas a la UE en 2006 y 2009 procedente de Rusia se ha vuelto a plantear el papel de este país en el ámbito energético-gasista europeo. En el diseño de un marco para la política energética europea se ha ido reconociendo un papel singular a Rusia, aunque una de las formas de incorporar a ese país en el ámbito energético europeo ha sido a través de su consideración como un riesgo geopolítico. Este enfoque se sustenta en el gran volumen de hidrocarburos que la UE adquiere en Rusia, dependencia que puede suponer que ese país pueda influir unilateralmente en el establecimiento de cantidades y precios, así como en las formas de reorganización del se…
Board of director attributes: effects on financial performance in SMEs
2021
This paper analyses the relationship between board of director (BoD) attributes and financial performance in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although SMEs are the backbone of world economies, most studies on this relationship focused on large companies and did not consider many typical or recommended processes and activities carried out by SME BoDs. We monitored a set of variables related to BoD attributes such as composition, characteristics, structure and processes for 184 Italian SMEs along with their financials over a 4-year period (2014–2017). We controlled for enterprise-specific characteristics such as annual sales growth, assets value, sales turnover, leverage, com pany s…
Assessing the impact of operating lease capitalization with dynamic Monte Carlo simulation
2019
Abstract The European Commission has recently adopted a new accounting standard for leases that will be implemented in 2019, which requires operating lease contracts to be included in the balance sheet, affecting key ratios, leverage and profitability. We simulate the impact of IFRS 16 using Monte Carlo method, which incorporates the uncertainty of the future value of variables when making predictions. Unlike prior studies based on historical data, our study considers a five-year forecast horizon and, more importantly, contemplates several probable scenarios. Based on the STOXX All Europe 100, our results confirm that, in 2019, liability maturity, liquidity and return on assets will decreas…
The construction of market institutions in Russia : a view form the institutionalism of Polanyi
2002
After a decade of economic transition in Russia there is still no theoretic analysis which coherently interprets of it. Various analytic approaches have been tried. The ones that stand out as important are those which have stemmed from a neoclassic (orthodox) point of view. According to these studies, the destruction of the traditional institutions related to central planning guarantees the appearance of a market economy. This destruction permits economic agents to interact freely, generating what is known as an economic market (Aslund 1995; Blanchard 1997; Lipton and Sachs 1990). Nevertheless, this focus has presented serious limitations in explaining the difficulties of extending and cons…
Ranking-based Ties Social Networks : an illustration based on a system of Fashion Capital Cities in the world.
2012
Our paper aims to apply a non-conventional Social Network Analysis to a network generated from an initial sorting of data with mere order. The aim is to test whether and how one relationship set 'conveniently' generated by the ranking is able to provide a coherent system of interactions with possible practical and theoretical utility. We consider a system of city distributions where we focus on ¿Ranking-Based Ties¿ social networks, considering a system of 'objects' of the same class that would be able to interact. The objects in question are ordered according to their 'performance' in a particular ranking. According to a survey developed by Global Langu…

Antecedentes, consecuencias y paradojas del Brexit
2018
En el referéndum celebrado en junio del 2016, los votantes británicos optaron por abandonar la Unión Europea. Este artículo revisa las consecuencias económicas y los antecedentes del Brexit. La evidencia que arrojan los estudios realizados hasta la fecha sugiere unos efectos negativos del Brexit. El diseño de la votación, el descontento con la crisis y los efectos de la globalización ayudan a explicar la paradoja según la cual los votantes optaron por una opción en contra de sus propios intereses económicos. La modulación de estos efectos dependerá del acuerdo final que se negocie entre la UE y el Reino Unido. Sin embargo, existen dos cuestiones abiertas en relación con el Brexit. En primer…
