Analisi dei rapporti tra finanza innovativa e distretti high-tech: il contributo delle banche locali nei distretti italiani
2011
Questo lavoro di ricerca si inserisce nell’ambito delle ricerche sui sistemi regionali di innovazione1 contrassegnati principalmente da due elementi: la dimensione sistemica dell’innovazione e la concentrazione di attività innovative su base territoriale. In particolare obiettivo principale di questo contributo è quello di approfondire il ruolo che la finanza innovativa può esercitare nei distretti tecnologici. Nel trattate questa tematica è stato seguito un percorso che può essere scomposto sostanzialmente in due parti. Nella prima parte è stata esposta una rassegna dei più recenti contributi sia italiani che stranieri con particolare riferimento ai due principali aspetti caratterizzanti u…
L’actionnariat des salariés influencet-il la rémunération des dirigeants ?
2017
International audience; Cet article étudie la relation entre les composantes variables de la rémunération en actions de l’entreprise des dirigeants et des actionnaires salariés. En utilisant un échantillon de données issu du SBF 120 sur la période 2004-2009, nous étudions en particulier : (i) la relation entre le montant des stock-options attribuées aux dirigeants et l’actionnariat salarié ; (ii) la relation entre le rapport du montant des stock-options sur la rémunération totale des dirigeants et l’actionnariat salarié. La relation est significativement négative dans les deux cas montrant que l’actionnariat salarié tend à limiter la composante stok-options de la rémunération des dirigeants…

On the Returns to Invention within Firms: Evidence from Finland
2018
International audience; In this paper we merge individual income data, firm-level data, patenting data, and IQ data in Finland over the period 1988–2012 to analyze the returns to invention for inventors and their coworkers or stakeholders within the same firm. We find that: (i) inventors collect only 8 percent of the total private return from invention; (ii) entrepreneurs get over 44 percent of the total gains; (iii) bluecollar workers get about 26 percent of the gains and the rest goes to white-collar workers. Moreover, entrepreneurs start with significant negative returns prior to the patent application, but their returns subsequently become highly positive.
Governance through Economic Paradigms: Addressing Climate Change by Accounting for Health
2016
"Climate change is a major challenge for sustainable development, impacting human health, wellbeing, security, and livelihoods. While the post-2015 development agenda sets out action on climate change as one of the Sustainable Development Goals, there is little provision on how this can be achieved in tandem with the desired economic progress and the required improvements in health and wellbeing. This paper examines synergies and tensions between the goals addressing climate change and economic progress. We identify reductionist approaches in economics, such as 'externalities', reliance on the metric of the Gross Domestic Product, positive discount rates, and short-term profit targets as so…
Un/doing calculation: on knowledge practices of risk management
2011
From small enterprises all the way up to financial markets, economic calculation is an activity routinely conducted in economic life-worlds. This paper argues that calculation is situated in the practice of participants involved in these life-worlds as well as in the technological tools they use. It champions a sociological analysis of the world-constituting character of calculation. As empirical examples the paper discusses risk management strategies, the embeddedness of calculation practices in banking infrastructure, and the process of internal rating procedures. Contesting the idea of the omnipresence of calculation, the paper analyzes the social phenomenon of the neutralization of calc…
Ontological Analysis of the Project Risk Management Concept ‘Risk’
2018
Abstract The aim of the current research series is to examine the definitions of the concept ‘risk’ and analyze the concepts used in the definitions of ‘risk’ in the sources of these definitions in order to perform the ontological analysis of the concept of ‘risk’. Ontological and epistemological analysis of the concepts in the definition of the concept ‘risk’ was used to answer the question what ‘risk’ means in project management. This investigation represents a part of the research series where the ontological, epistemological and methodological analysis of project risk is performed with the aim to improve risk registers and risk management as a whole. In the previous studies the author a…
Political risks: the “red shift” in debt sustainability analysis
2020
Political stability and economic policy uncertainty can be key determinants of sovereign debt dynamics, and we show how they can be incorporated in debt sustainability analysis. We distinguish between short-term ambiguity and long-term uncertainty about political risk factors, and using a combination of narrative scenarios and calibrated probabilistic scenarios we obtain a comprehensive heatmap of high-risk debt dynamics. We use Italy as an interesting case study and demonstrate a “red shift” in the assessment of vulnerabilities when accounting for political risks. Ignoring these risks can lead to excessive optimism and wrong decisions.
Interest Rate Risk in Banking: a Theoretical and Empirical Investigation through a Systemic Approach (Asset & Liability Management).
2013
The paper provides a theoretical analysis of the interest rate risk in banking through a systemic approach that is known in literature as “asset & liability management” approach. The paper provides also an empirical investigation on the exposure of banks to interest rate risk, using three different scenarios: parallel shift, slope shift, and bump shift of interest rate curves.
Efficiency, endogenous and exogenous credit risk in the banking systems of the Euro area
2005
The implantation of the Euro in 11 of the EU states has driven the big banks to expand their presence in other European countries, which may have negative consequences on their credit risk in view of the disadvantages involved in entering new markets. The aim of this study is to analyse the efficiency and the credit risk of the banks of the most important countries of the Euro area, using a one-stage parametric stochastic procedure that allows one to identify whether the behaviour towards risk of the banks analysed was more cautious or more reckless during the period analysed. The results indicate that adjustments for risk are important in the case of profit efficiency but not in the case o…
