Where Did the Money Go? Endogenous Money Creation for International Fraudulent Purposes - The Case of the 2015 Moldovan Banking Scandal
2015
On Monday 4 May 2015, the speaker of Parliament of the Republic of Moldova published the Kroll report on his Internet blog after thousands of people rallied on Sunday 3 May in the capital, Chisinau, to protest against endemic corruption in the country, and demand recovery of the missing billions in the Ilan Shor group scandal. The Kroll report aims at investigating the apparent theft of nearly one-fifth of the country's annual GDP. In a spectacular lender-of-last resort move, the Moldovan central bank was forced to issue some 16 billion lei ($870 million) in emergency loans to keep the economy afloat. The Kroll report focuses on three commercial banks that account for a third of the country…
The Love of Money and Pay Level Satisfaction: Measurement and Functional Equivalence in 29 Geopolitical Entities around the World
2006
Demonstrating the equivalence of constructs is a key requirement for cross-cultural empirical research. The major purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how to assess measurement and functional equivalence or invariance using the 9-item, 3-factor Love of Money Scale (LOMS, a second-order factor model) and the 4-item, 1-factor Pay Level Satisfaction Scale (PLSS, a first-order factor model) across 29 samples in six continents (N = 5973). In step 1, we tested the configural, metric and scalar invariance of the LOMS and 17 samples achieved measurement invariance. In step 2, we applied the same procedures to the PLSS and nine samples achieved measurement invariance. Five samples (Brazil, China,…
Traceable hierarchical attribute-based authentication for the cloud
2015
When data owners store their data on cloud servers, they may want to define the access requirements themselves, where attribute-based authentication (ABA) can be a good choice for the solution. In this paper, we propose a traceable hierarchical ABA (HABA) solution which fits two situations in the cloud. The first situation is when cloud users are organized in groups of a hierarchical structure and the access allowance can only be granted to users in a specific group. The second situation is that attributes are organized in a hierarchical structure with different priorities, such that only users who own the required attributes of a specific priority can be authenticated and access the data. …
La théorie des tournois appliquée aux joueurs de tennis professionnels : peut-on encore parler d’incitations à la performance ?
2011
L’objet de cet article est d’appliquer la theorie des tournois aux joueurs du tennis professionnel masculin. Deux nouveaux indicateurs de mesure de la performance des joueurs sont introduits, afin de prendre en compte le niveau de l’opposition. Les estimations econometriques sont effectuees, par la methode des Moindres Carres Ordinaires, sur l’ensemble des tournois disputes par les 30 meilleurs joueurs classes a l’ATP au cours de l’annee 2007. Les resultats obtenus valident bien, conformement a une des predictions de la theorie des tournois, l’existence d’un effet incitatif associe a la performance, a savoir qu’une structure de prix inegalitaire entre les tours du tournoi augmente la perfor…

Latvijas komercbanku un komersantu sadarbības pilnveides iespējas
2020
Darbā ir aprakstīta noziedzīgi iegūtu līdzekļu legalizācijas un terorisma finansēšanas novēršanas prasību ietekme uz sadarbību starp Latvijas komercbankām un komersantiem. Komersanti saskaras ar paaugstināto informācijas pieprasījumu daudzumu, kamēr komercbankas cenšas nodrošināt atbilstību normatīvo aktu prasībām. Rodas problēma, ka komersanti ir pārslogoti ar pieprasījumu skaitu, savukārt komercbankas nespēj samazināt spiedienu un līdz ar to pazaudēt nepieciešamo atbilstības līmeni. Darba mērķis ir pilnveidot sadarbību starp komercbankām un komersantiem, samazinot informācijas pieprasījumu apjomu, tai pašā laikā saglabājot pietiekošo komercbanku atbilstību klientu izpētes normatīvo aktu p…
Procedūras cīņai ar naudas atmazgāšanu attīstītajās valstīs
2019
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izprast finanšu iestāžu, konkrētāk, banku un starpnieku uzņēmumu atšķirības un attieksmi saistībā ar cīņu pret naudas atmazgāšanu. Precīzāk, šī pētījuma mērķis ir padziļināti izpētīt finanšu iestāžu procedūras un kāpēc daudzas iestādes šo problēmu neuztver tik nopietni. Lai izpētītu šos mērķus, tika veikta virkne analīžu, un izvirzīti galvenie uzdevumi: •Izprast problēmas vēsturisko pamatu •Izpētīt naudas atmazgāšanas un analītiskās sistēmas apkarošanas metodes •Salīdzināt finanšu iestāžu pārstāvju izvēlētās metodes cīņai pret naudas atmazgāšanu Pētījums parādīja, ka ne visas finanšu iestādes sniedz atskaites saistībā ar aizdomīgiem darījumiem. Kā arī šķietami attīs…
Debating Sound Money in Early Modern Europe: From Dualist to Metallic Monetary Systems
2019
International audience; In this paper, we present the monetary debates in Europe from the XVIth to the XVIIIth centuries from the viewpoint of the problem of good and sound money. The framework of the paper is built on a typology of monetary systems, by which a dualist system is distinguished from a metallic one. Under the dualist system, the value in units of account of the specie in circulation was defined by monetary proclamations (Einaudi locates this era from Charlemagne to the French Revolution). Metallist proponents aimed at preventing any kind of manipulations with a radical transformation of the system of payment, which gave birth to a metallic monetary system from the very end of …
