Factors explaining the interest margin in the banking sectors of the European Union
2003
Abstract This study analyses the interest margin in the principal European banking sectors (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain) in the period 1993–2000 using a panel of 15,888 observations, identifying the fundamental elements affecting this margin. Our starting point is the methodology developed in the original study by Ho and Saunders [Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis XVI (1981) 581–600] and later extensions, but widened to take banks' operating costs explicitly into account. Also, unlike the usual practice in the literature, a direct measure of the degree of competition (Lerner index) in the different markets is used. The results show that the fall of marg…

It is determined that these countries have a converging market concentration tendency indicating a decrease in the competition level and becoming more homogeneous. At the same time there are strong indications for market concentration being linked also to retail turnover.

Improved innovative product strategy assessment model in market research context
2019
In the innovation economy, companies more often face the need quickly and efficiently evaluate not only their existing product and service portfolios in the context of the industry’s potential, but also evaluate theoretical concepts of innovations. There are various systems for evaluating innovation concepts and already existing products and/or services for companies that are planning to expand their business in a new industry. The innovation economy is characterized by the convergence of innovations and the most demanded products on the market with continuous market upgrades. A company which wants to grow in a new industry faces an assessment challenge between already existing, demanded pr…
Du marketing expérientiel appliqué aux musées
2005
http://www.revue-espaces.com/2003/librairie_espaces-4337.html; National audience; L'analyse de la valeur est passée, au cours des quinze dernières années, d'une perspective transactionnelle (voire utilitariste) à une approche plus relationnelle : on parle alors de marketing expérientiel. L'approche expérientielle confirme que la valeur de la consommation culturelle se fonde plus spécifiquement sur l'hédonisme, l'esthétisme, le symbolisme et la recherche de lien social dans la relation des individus avec les œuvres d'art et les lieux culturels. Cela signifie notamment, pour les musées, qu'ils doivent amener leurs visiteurs à s'approprier l'expérience, c'est-à-dire à vivre une “suite d'immers…
Comprendre la satisfaction dans le contexte des services sportifs associatifs (SSA) : une analyse à partir du modèle tétraclasse
2005
National audience; Considérant que la satisfaction des consommateurs s'avère être un levier stratégique à la pérennisation des organisations prestataires de services, cette recherche s'inscrit dans une démarche d'améliorationde la connaissance des logiques de contribution des éléments de l'offre de services sportifs associatifs (SSA) à la satisfaction des adhérents. Le recours au modèle tétraclasse (Llosa, 1996) appliqué aux SSA proposant des pratiques de forme confirme l'existence de quatre logiques de contribution. Cette meilleure compréhension doit permettre aux responsables des organisations prestataires d'établir une hiérarchie au sein de leurs actions managériales d'ajustement de l'of…

The value-relevance of social media activity of Finnish listed companies
2022
Purpose The use of social media tools by companies is common, but the links between the use of multiple social media tools by companies and stock price changes are largely unknown. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the value-relevance of social media activities on Facebook (FB), Instagram (IG), LinkedIn (LI), Twitter (TW) and YouTube (YT). Design/methodology/approach Stock market data and hand-picked social media data in this study were collected from Finland, a small language area with consistent International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) reporting practices, in the expectation of better comparability and lower noise in the data.This study uses correlation, regression and fact…
Dynamics in stochastic evolutionary models
2014
First published: 01 February 2016 We characterize transitions between stochastically stable states and relative ergodic probabilities in the theory of the evolution of conventions. We give an application to the fall of hegemonies in the evolutionary theory of institutions and conflict, and illustrate the theory with the fall of the Qing dynasty and the rise of communism in China. We are especially indebted to Juan Block for his many comments and suggestions. We would also like to thank Drew Fudenberg, Kevin Hasker, Matt Jackson, Peyton Young, and five anonymous referees. We are grateful to NSF Grant SES-08-51315 and to the MIUR PRIN 20103S5RN3 for financial support.
Job Insecurity and Depressive Symptoms in Mothers and Adolescents: A Dyadic Study
2021
AbstractIn this study, we examined whether maternal perceived job insecurity (JI) affected depressive symptoms in their adolescent children. Specifically, we tested a mediator-moderator model in which we hypothesized that maternal JI was related to adolescent depressive symptoms indirectly via maternal depressive symptoms. Most importantly, we also explored whether this indirect path was moderated by two buffering resources, i.e., maternal off-job recovery and adolescent self-esteem. There is little research on the effects of parental JI on adolescent children from the viewpoint of buffering moderators. Due to growing insecurity in the labor markets we need more information about resources …
