A comparison of internal and international barriers to trade

1999

In a world in which barriers to trade at all levels - international and internal - are mostly a by-product of the implementation by governments of different regulatory policies to deal with domestic or local problems, the mechanisms that are set in motion by the operation of competition among the governments inhabiting the different jurisdictional tiers of federal countries lead to outcomes that are different from those generated by the 'agreed-upon' rules that govern the relations of national governments with each other in matters of international trade. A model is used to compare two ways of dealing with the external damages that are consequent on the pursuit of beneficial domestic regula…

Le nuove sfide del femminismo in epoca neoliberale

2016

Il dibattito femminista attuale ha aperto un confronto con le nuove condizioni generate dalla razionalità neoliberale e sui suoi effetti su donne e uomini a livello globale. Questioni classiche, come libertà, eguaglianza, libertà di scelta e le forme attuali di soggettivazione in termini di femminilizzazione, precarizzazione, domesticazione devono essere analizzate attraverso le teorie e le pratiche della lotta femminista contro gli effetti che la governamentalità neoliberale produce sulle vite. L'articolo parte da alcuni questioni classiche del femminismo per verificare come queste possano essere problematizzate a partire dalle relazioni che intercorrono tra femminismo e neoliberalismo. To…

L'Efficacia civile del matrimonio acattolico in Italia e le problematiche derivanti dal riconoscimento del matrimonio islamico

2017

Il volume raccoglie i testi del corso Fenomeni migratori, diritti umani e libertà religiosa, svoltosi a Trapani nel settembre 2016 per iniziativa dell’Università di Palermo e con il supporto dell'Universidad Autónoma de Madrid e dell'Universidad de Alcalá de Henares. In particolare, vengono focalizzate questioni complesse concernenti il riconoscimento di diritti collettivi dei migranti riconducibili alla titolarità di un’identità religiosa e culturale, anche al fine di verificare quali prospettive e possibilità si aprono, oggi e nel futuro prossimo, sul tema dell’integrazione sociale dei gruppi di stranieri che, avendone i requisiti, chiedono di stabilirsi nello spazio europeo o che vi risi…

The Housing Cycle: What Role for Mortgage Market Development and Housing Finance?

2019

AbstractWe use duration analysis to assess the impact of securitization, mortgage sector liberalization and government involvement in housing finance on the length of housing booms, busts and normal times in a panel of 20 OECD countries over the period 1970Q1-2015Q4. Our results reveal that a move towards a more liberalized mortgage sector is associated with longer housing booms, while an increase in securitization is linked with shorter housing busts. They also show that the length of housing booms and busts is particularly sensitive to housing finance characteristics, but that does not seem to be the case for normal times. Additionally, government support measures do not necessarily cushi…

Stock Return Volatility on Scandinavian Stock Markets and the Banking Industry: Evidence from the Years of Financial Liberalisation and Banking Crisis

1999

This paper investigates the evolution of the (conditional) volatility of returns on three Scandinavian markets (Finland, Norway and Sweden) over the turbulent period of the past decade, namely the overlapping periods of financial liberalisation, drastically changing macroeconomic conditions and banking crisis. We find that even over this relatively turbulent period volatility is in most cases successfully captured by past volatility and shocks to past volatility, ie by a (symmetric) GARCH process. In each country banking crisis has induced regime shifts in (unconditional) volatility. We also find evidence for cross-country volatility spillovers during the banking crisis episodes. The estima…

The distributional effects of capital account liberalization

2018

Abstract Episodes of account liberalization increase the Gini measure of inequality, based on panel data estimates for 149 countries from 1970 to 2010. These episodes are also associated with a persistent increase in the share of income going to the top. We investigate three channels through which these impacts could occur. First, the impact of liberalization on inequality is stronger where credit markets lack depth and financial inclusion is low; positive impacts of liberalization on poverty rates also vanish when financial inclusion is low. Second, the impact on inequality is also stronger when liberalization is followed by a financial crisis. Third, liberalization seems to alter the rela…
