Responsible Investment: Taxes and Paradoxes
2017
Abstract Taxes have become an issue of corporate social responsibility (CSR), but the role of taxation is to some extent an ambiguous and controversial issue in the CSR framework. Similarly, another unclear question is what role investors who are committed to sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) see taxes as having on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda. Corporate taxes have an inverse relationship with the return of the investors: taxes paid directly affect what is left on the bottom line, reducing the return of investors. However, investors are now more aware of tax-related risks, which can include different forms of reputation risk. Corporate tax planning may…
"Libro de Manuel" de Julio Cortazar, entre la revolución política y la vanguardia estética
2013
The article analizes the aesthetics of Book of Manuel (Julio Cortazar, 1973) as a response to the debates on the rol of revolutionary intelli- gentsia wich took place in the late sixties. The author focuses on the way the novel mixed the neo-avantgardist poetics with the theory of the 'new man' by Guevara and with some emerging discourses such as testimony.
Disease dispersion as a spatial interaction: The case of Flavescence Dorée
2020
International audience; Flavescence dorée is a serious and incurable vine disease transmitted by an insect vector. Focusing on its spatial diffusion and on its control with pesticides, this paper investigates the private strategies of wine producers and their socially optimal counterparts. The socially optimal regulation has to address two externalities regarding private treatment decisions: (a) the insufficient consideration of collective benefits from controlling the vector populations; (b) the failure to take into account environmental damage related to pesticide application. The probability of infection is estimated on French data from a spatial econometric specification. Three alternat…
Reescritura del discurso fúnebre de Pericles. Claves para salvar la democracia.
2020
He querido re-escribir en clave posmoderna el “Discurso Fúnebre Pericles”(430 A.C), escrito por Tucídides, por ser el testimonio más impresionante de la antigua democracia ateniense y sus inestimables valores cívicos. La solidaridad, la amistad cívica, el respeto por los mayores, el amor al ser y no el poseer, la búsqueda de la perfección mediante el arte, son claves para redescubrir el ideal de democracia Ateniense del siglo IV A.C. Estoy convencido, que desde su esencia, podremos repensar nuestra democracia actual, por ser un llamado a la solidaridad y la virtud personal y política. El desafío de nuestro tiempo es construir una sociedad eco-democrática - superando el antropocentrismo inhe…
The Industrial City: The Multi-Ethnic Frontier of the Twentieth Century
2004
Between 1890 and 1920, big American industrial cities represented the frontier for the more than 23 million immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, Asia, and Central America, as well as for the African-Americans from the South. The development of mass consumption industries and the interventionism of the federal government provided security at the workplace and a general improvement in living standards for blue collar workers. The local party machines, the industrial unions and the effects of the First World War fully integrated the new immigrants into politics. Mass culture and entertainment made Americanization easier and, together with organised crime, were a quick way of social asc…
Discretionary Fiscal Policies over the Cycle: New Evidence Based on the ESCB Disaggregated Approach
2012
This paper explores how discretionary fiscal policies on the revenue side of the government budget have reacted to economic fluctuations in European Union countries. For this purpose, it uses data on legislated revenue changes and structural indicators provided twice per year by National Central Banks of European Union countries in the ESCB framework for analysing fiscal policy. The analysis is based on the estimation of fiscal policy rules linking these measures of legislated fiscal policy changes to the output gap and other control variables. Then, baseline results are compared with regression estimates where variations of cyclically-adjusted indicators are used as proxy for discretionary…
Percorsi esistenziali del dialogo interreligioso. Scene vissute fuori campo
2016
Come pensare il dialogo tra le diverse religioni? Per rispondere a questa domanda, faccio appello a due frammenti di vita personale – l’incontro con due mormoni americani a Tartu e con un marocchino musulmano a Nîmes – per risalire all’origine del dialogo come forma di vita in divenire e alla forza del processo di consapevolizzazione che dovrebbe sussistere, nella mia ipotesi, in qualsiasi società per insegnare e apprendere a vedere l’alterità (religiosa) come un percorso di riposizionamento continuo del Sé e dell’altro. A questo fine, discuto alcune ipotesi formulate in antropologia delle religioni – più particolarmente da Evans-Pritchard per la religione nuer e da Geertz per la religione …

Magia y milagros de San Paulicio en Arderique (1517): el cadáver del santo, la pareja infecunda y el nacimiento heroico
2019
Arderique es el título de un libro de caballerías castellano, anónimo, publicado en 1517 (Valencia, Juan Viñao). El artículo se centra en la función que desempeña en la obra un personaje, san Paulicio, cuyo auxilio se muestra decisivo en determinados momentos de la acción, empezando por el nacimiento de la heroína del relato. Se estudia el posible entronque de este Paulicio de la ficción con personajes históricos y con las vitae de santos eremitas, como san Pablo de Tebas. Y se estudian, asimismo, los motivos folclóricos que coinciden con las marcas de reconocimiento de la santidad de Paulicio: los leones rastreadores de su cadáver, las campanas tañendo solas y la carta agarrada por una man…
