Governance and scope economies in microfinance institutions
2013
This paper studies the relation between board size and composition and cost savings (scope economies) from combining savings mobilisation and lending by Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). The findings support the hypothesis that employee representation on the board is associated with positive scope economies, possibly due to internal knowledge. However, CEO-Chairman duality is associated with equal or larger probability of scope diseconomies, which is consistent with previous findings. Representation

Dynamic Performance of the Agricultural Sector Under Conditions of Climate Change and Armed Post-conflict
2018
The agricultural sector is a strategic source for the sustenance of the population worldwide, however, given the lack of a favourable environment that guarantees its sustainability and growth, this sector is exposed to multiple conflicts and needs, which affect its performance and even causing desertion of the producer. In this research, we model and analyse the agricultural sector of the potato in the Colombian context, which in addition to being a strategic food to respond to food crisis, represents the needs of the agricultural sector, where about 90% of producers are classified as small because of their low participation in land tenure and where, in addition to the low level of technolo…

Il delitto di "caporalato" tra diritti minimi della persona e tutela del mercato del lavoro
2020
Il contributo analizza il reato di intermediazione illecita e sfruttamento lavorativo, offrendo un’analisi comparata con il sistema repressivo tedesco. Lo studio si sofferma, in particolare, sui limiti di legittimazione del diritto penale nella punizione dei fatti di “caporalato”, nel tentativo di scongiurare che l’intervento repressivo nelle dinamiche economiche e contrattuali, di natura sinallagmatica, possa assumere una portata tale da porsi in contrasto con il canone della sussidiarietà. A tal fine, si suggerisce una prospettiva ermeneutica che incentri il disvalore penale del reato di cui all’art. 603-bis c.p. sulla lesione dei diritti fondamentali del lavoratore – riconducibili agli a…

I tratti distintivi dell’economia degli intermediari bancari: un approccio di analisi funzionalista.
2012
This paper aims to examine the basic functions performed by banks. It is argued that financial crisis has altered the traditional economics of banking in an important way. A key element of our paper is the use of a functional perspective to study the economics of banking. It is applicable at several levels of analysis: systems, institutions, activities, and products. The application of the functional perspective at the level of financial institutions is particularly useful because the functions are more stable than activities and products.
Modelli innovativi di lending value chain degli intermediari bancari: implicazioni finanziarie ed economico-aziendali.
2011
L’articolo mette al centro dell’analisi la catena del valore del lending business nell’economia degli intermediari bancari, quale momento qualificante e decisivo per lo studio dei processi di de-integrazione verticale nel settore dell’intermediazione creditizia. Il modello innovativo di business dell’intermediazione creditizia, denominato originate and distribute, ha contribuito a trasformare quasi “geneticamente” l’intermediario bancario, con rilevanti effetti di instabilità sistemica, che hanno interessato la struttura e il funzionamento dei sistemi finanziari.
Interactions of Societal Actors and Local Government in Institutionalized Governance Arrangements: The Book’s Scope and Content
2020
The chapter sets the stage for a comparative analysis of institutionalized governance networks grouping local governments and individual and collective or corporate societal actors unfolding at the municipal, sub-municipal and inter-municipal level. It details the premises for analyzing these networks with an emphasis on organized interests and interest intermediation and their relationship with the notion of democracy. It then reviews existing literature on the relationship between local governments and societal actors at two different levels. With reference to the municipal (micro) level, it looks at interest theory, the community power debate and the local governance approach. With refer…
