How credit ratings affect sovereign credit risk: cross-border evidence in Latin American emerging markets

2017

This article builds upon previous literature by providing a better understanding of how contagion changes in bordering sovereign CDS emerging markets resulting from credit rating events. To that end, we follow the novel GVAR methodology using data from six Latin American emerging countries during an extensive sample period from 2004 to 2014. Our findings show evidence for the existence of significant and asymmetric cross-border effects. In particular, a competition effect is observed before the event occurs, indicating that non-event countries suffer (benefit) from upgrades (downgrades) in Brazil, Mexico and Chile (in Argentina and Brazil). In contrast, an imitation effect is observed after…

Do sovereign ratings cause instability in cross-border emerging CDS markets?

2020

We analyse the cross-border transmission effect of credit ratings on sovereign CDSs covering a broad sample of emerging countries during the period 2004 to 2015. This study differentiates between the spillover and competition effects between and within geographical areas of emerging countries. We find substantial evidence of cross-border effects with asymmetric responses to upgrades and downgrades. The market reaction differs across regions, reflecting how the international and local impact of rating events are due to different types of effects. At the international portfolio level, the competitive effect is dominant over the spillover effect. Negative events in Asia benefit Africa (which i…

ANALISI ARCHEOMETRICHE DELLA CERAMICA A DECORAZIONE GEOMETRICA DIPINTA E A VERNICE NERA

2018

Di seguito vengono esposti i risultati derivanti dalla caratterizzazione petrografica e chimica di 20 reperti ceramici costituiti da scodelle, bacini, tazze, coppe, brocche a decorazione geometrica dipinta datati dalla fine del VII sec. alla metà del V sec. a.C. (campioni siglati da ER-1 a ER-10) e da coppe/skiphoi decorati a vernice nera (campioni siglati da ER-11 a ER-20), datati dalla fine del VI al V sec. a.C.. Tutti i campioni analizzati provengono dal contesto di fondazione delle mura arcaiche di Erice (TP). L’approccio metodologico ha previsto la caratterizzazione degli impasti ceramici in termini tessiturali (addensamento e distribuzione dimensionale degli inclusi, natura ed omogene…

Adolescents' school-related self-concept mediates motor skills and psychosocial well-being.

2014

Background The health benefits of exercise participation and physical activity for mental health and psychosocial well-being (PSWB) have been shown in several studies. However, one important background factor, that is, motor skills (MSs), has largely been ignored. In addition, most of the existing research focuses on poor MSs, that is, poor MSs are often connected to poorer PSWB. The mechanism linking MSs and PSWB is unclear. However, a preliminary suggestion has been made that self-worth or self-perceptions might mediate the association between MSs and PSWB. Aim We investigated whether the self-concepts (SCs) of school-related physical education (SCPE), reading (SCR), and mathematics (SCM)…

Juliet-ohjelma: monipuolisia osaajia alaluokkien englannin opetukseen

2012

Varhennettua kielenopetusta, kielisuihkuttelua, CLIL-opetusta… Alakoulun luokkien 1–6 vieraiden kielten opetukseen tarvitaan yhä enemmän opettajia, joilla on vahva asiantuntemus sekä lasten oppimisesta yleensä että vieraiden kielten varhaisoppimisesta erityisesti. Jyväskylän yliopiston opettajankoulutuslaitoksen kielipedagogisen Juliet-ohjelman suorittaneet luokanopettajat ovat tällaisia opettajia. Juliet-opettajat ovat erikoistuneet varhaiseen englannin opetukseen ja erityisesti englantia ja eri oppiaineiden sisältöjä integroivaan opetukseen. nonPeerReviewed

Kulttuurienvälisen tietoisuuden ja kieliasenteiden kehittyminen CLIL-opetuksessa : retrospektiivinen tarkastelu

2018

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has been claimed to create a positive attitude towards languages and language learning in general and to raise intercultural awareness. The studies on the topics have however remained scarce. This study examines the issue from former pupils’ perspective. The 24 participants, who received English-medium CLIL during their comprehensive school in the 1990s, were interviewed in-depth and the data were analysed qualitatively. Most participants felt that CLIL had had a very positive effect on their attitudes towards English. However, many considered that CLIL had partly been detrimental to their attitudes towards and learning of other languages. The…
