A convergent validity test within the payment card format using simulation techniques
2019
International audience; A convergent validity test is performed between two groups of versions of the payment card format. The first group, the classic payment card (CPC), asks respondents to report their willingness to pay (WTP) as a point from a list of amounts, and then treats each WTP response as an interval. The second group generates WTP data that may contain both single point and interval values. It includes the two-way-payment ladder (TWPL) (respondents have to tick amounts they would definitely pay and cross amounts they would definitely not pay), and point-interval payment card (PIPC) (respondents have to tick their WTP as either a point or an interval). The test is conducted usin…
How is the use of mobile money services transforming lives in Ghana?
2018
Mobile money (MM) is considered a revolutionary phenomenon in the developing world and relies on basic mobile handsets capable of voice and SMS or text. This chapter assesses the potential of mobile phones as a delivery mechanism for financial services in Ghana. Based on the sample of 595 responses collected during the months of September and October, 2016, we investigated various consequences that influence the consumer decision-making process and continuous usage within the mainstream MM or micro-financial services. In total, six hypotheses were developed and tested. The results provided support for all the hypotheses. The key takeaway from this chapter is that MM service agent credibilit…
THE EUROPEAN RURAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY DURING 2014 - 2020
2014
The common agricultural policy has generated contradictory discussions between Member States. Several successive reforms, due to the continuous changing of funding instruments within the common agricultural policy have lead to several changes within the policy. Since the 2000s, the reform policy was reorganized into two complementary pillars, funded through entirely different funds. Thus, the rural development policy becomes separate and specific, rather than common. The current reform, in place starting since 2013 is to bring new several new challenges: maintaining competitiveness of European agriculture within global markets and the promotion of organic farming and creating new jobs. The …
Miarkowanie kary umownej w ramach powództwa o jej zwrot – glosa do wyroku Sądu Okręgowego w Olsztynie z 5.12.2018 r., IX Ca 758/18
2023
Komentowane orzeczenie dotyczy możliwości miarkowania kary umownej po tym, jak została ona zapłacona przez dłużnika z zastrzeżeniem zwrotu. Główny problem w sprawie stanowiło to, czy powód może skutecznie wystąpić z odrębnym powództwem o zwrot części zapłaconej już pozwanemu kary. Istota postępowania sprowadzała się do określenia formy i momentu wystąpienia przez dłużnika z żądaniem miarkowania kary umownej. Sąd zgodził się z tezą, że do miarkowania może dojść na skutek powództwa wytoczonego przez dłużnika. Natomiast przyjął kontrowersyjne stanowisko, które zostało poddane w niniejszej glosie krytyce, że do miarkowania nie może dojść po tym, jak kara została zapłacona
Conflict and the Evolution of Societies
2012
The Malthusian theory of evolution disregards a pervasive fact about human societies: they expand through conflict. When this is taken account of the long-run favors not a large population at the level of subsistence, nor yet institutions that maximize welfare or per capita output, but rather institutions that maximize free resources. These free resources are the output available to society after deducting the payments necessary for subsistence and for the incentives needed to induce production, and the other claims to production such as transfer payments and resources absorbed by elites. We develop the evolutionary underpinnings of this model, and examine the implications of free resource …

Naruszenie bezpieczeństwa stosowania elektronicznych instrumentów płatniczych w świetle prawa karnego - zagadnienia wybrane
2018
Elektroniczne instrumenty płatnicze znajdują swój początek w powstaniu handlu elektronicznego. Jednak nieustanne poszerzanie sposobów dostępu do środków zgromadzonych na rachunku powoduje, iż zakres elektronicznych instrumentów płatniczych nieustannie się zmienia. Uniwersalność elektronicznych instrumentów płatniczych oraz szeroki zakres sposobów dostępu do środków pieniężnych wpływają na niespotykaną rozpiętość przestępstw – od blokowania kasetki do wydawania pieniędzy w bankomacie, a kończąc na zaawansowanych technologicznie przestępstwach internetowych. Zagrożenie stanowi także szybkość wymiany oraz dostępność informacji dotyczących sposobów popełniania przestępstw, wykorzystywanie luk t…
Peut-on expliquer l'amplitude des primes d'acquisition ? Le cas des entreprises de haute technologie cotées au Nasdaq.
2005
National audience; L'objet de ce travail est de vérifier si la prime payée par les acquéreurs est fonction de leur stratégie. Notre étude empirique porte sur 237 acquisitions d'entreprises évoluant dans des secteurs de haute technologie, cotées au Nasdaq, entre mars 1997 et mars 2003. Nous ne confirmons pas l'hypothèse d'une prime plus faible en cas de diversification internationale ou de diversification des activités.
Reflexiones sobre la concurrencia de violencia económica en el contexto de familia : impacto y mecanismos para su neutralización
2021
Through this work we carry out a dissertation on the phenomenon of economic violence, as a manifestation of gender violence, in the family context, and, especially, from the perspective of the divorce framework. We will analyze the harmful effects that it produces, the damage that it triggers on the most basic and essential interests of the family, and its use as a control mechanism by the aggressors. In addition to a vision of the different mechanisms that, enshrined in our legal system, serve to distort it.
Dalla traditio pecuniae ai pagamenti digitali
2018
La monografia “Dalla traditio pecuniae ai pagamenti digitali” indaga le tensioni evolutive che – vuoi per la digitalizzazione degli strumenti di circolazione dei capitali, vuoi per i recenti interventi normativi in tema di pagamento con moneta non contante e, in particolare, la disciplina europea dei servizi e delle operazioni di pagamento di cui alla direttiva UE 2015/2366 e la normativa interna di attuazione – agitano la materia delle obbligazioni pecuniarie. Dalla messa a sistema di queste regole il volume mira a verificare l’emersione di un nuovo paradigma dell’«adempimento (necessariamente) intermediato» dell’obbligazione pecuniaria, retto da principi e logiche autonome rispetto al mod…
