Essays on Corruption
2021
Paper III and Paper IV is not published yet. Corruption is blamed for reductions in operational efficiency, information asymmetry, limited income distribution, policy failure, and weak economic growth and development. Corruption can originate from either the “demand-side” (the recipients of the bribe) or the “supply-side” (the givers of the bribe). This double edge effect of corruption on the economy and society makes it a multidisciplinary subject and phenomenon. Thus, scholars from different fields and disciplines, such as finance, banking, economics, accounting, law, foreign aid, and international business, examined and analyzed corruption as a multidisciplinary subject. In this disserta…
Corruption in banks: A bibliometric review and agenda
2020
Abstract This paper is a bibliometric review of 819 articles, between 1969 and 2019, on corruption in banks. We identified six research streams: (1) the determinants of banks’ lending corruption; (2) the impact of corruption on banks’ lending and operational risk; (3) the impact of bank corruption on firms; (4) the impact of political connections on bank corruption; (5) the impact of corporate governance and regulations on bank corruption; and (6) the manipulation of the inter-bank offered rate. We recommend an anti-corruption architecture system and an extension in theoretical frameworks related to corruption in banks. We propose 20 future research questions.
How is motivational interviewing (un)related to self-determination theory: An empirical study from different healthcare settings.
2021
To explore how quality aspects and clients’ verbal behaviors in Motivational Interviewing sessions correspond with counsellors’ support of basic psychological needs described in Self-determination Theory, we conducted a mixed method study with quantitative analyses of transformed qualitative data from counselling sessions. Coding manuals identified if the counselling was consistent with Motivational Interviewing and the support of basic psychological needs. The study supported a conceptual relationship between motivational interviewing (MI) and self-determination theory (SDT), except for autonomy support which was conceptualized differently in the two approaches. Relational support in SDT a…
Sustainable recovery of critical elements from seawater saltworks bitterns by integration of high selective sorbents and reactive precipitation and c…
2023
The availability of raw mineral resources containing elements included in the Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) list is a growing concern for the European Union. Sea mining has been identified as a promising secondary source. In particular, brines obtained in solar saltworks (bitterns) contain relevant amounts of valuable CRMs such as Mg(II), B(III), other alkaline/alkaline earth metals (Rb(I), Cs(I), Sr(II)) and transition/post-transition elements (Co(II), Ga(III), Ge(IV)). However, the low concentration of some of these elements (µg/L) requires an effort to develop recovery routes that are sustainable and economically feasible where the required chemicals and energy are produced on-site from …
Next-Day Bitcoin Price Forecast
2019
This study analyzes forecasts of Bitcoin price using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and neural network autoregression (NNAR) models. Employing the static forecast approach, we forecast next-day Bitcoin price both with and without re-estimation of the forecast model for each step. For cross-validation of forecast results, we consider two different training and test samples. In the first training-sample, NNAR performs better than ARIMA, while ARIMA outperforms NNAR in the second training-sample. Additionally, ARIMA with model re-estimation at each step outperforms NNAR in the two test-sample forecast periods. The Diebold Mariano test confirms the superiority of forecast …
Bitcoin in the Scientific Literature – A Bibliometric Study
2019
Abstract Since 2012, there has been growing interest in bitcoin scientific research from different fields, including computer science and engineering, economics, business and finance, law and regulatory. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate bitcoin literature based on the structures and networks of science, as a first step in the research of this new phenomenon. Analysing the growing scientific literature on bitcoin published between 2012 and 2019, we provided useful insights on academic research in this field regarding publication year, type and category, authors, journals and citations. The source of the 887 documents which support the study was Web of Science Core Collection. Using V…
Nuovi cittadini di un pianeta in crisi
2014
Dobbiamo creare e praticare un sistema armonico e simbiotico con la natura e deve restare legato emotivamente e culturalmente alla sua terra, perché da lei trae i mezzi di sussistenza e la distruzione o la modificazione della natura lo colpisce direttamente. La necessità che lo sviluppo assuma sempre più il carattere appropriato ad una situazione in cui appare tramontata l’ambizione delle rivoluzioni industriali del diciannovesimo secolo che teorizzavano che il compito della scienza è quello di soggiogare la nature. La sfida che abbiamo davanti a noi è quella di una scienza che aiuti gli uomini ad inserirsi nei grandi cicli del pianeta, per trarne le risorse necessarie, ma senza perturbarne…

CULTURA E SVILUPPO. IDEE E STRUMENTI. INTRODUZIONE PER UN DIBATTITO
2016
La cultura incide sullo sviluppo secondo molteplici canali. Ed anche il grande progresso dell'industria manifatturiera italiana non può essere compreso senza il legame con la cultura del Paese. Oggi appare particolarmente forte il legame fa cultura, patrimonio culturale e sviluppo dell'industria turistica. Il lavoro sviluppa alcune riflessioni su questi temi. The causal link between culture and development is extremely complex and is expressed by following patterns that can not be traced inside of unitary or homogeneous analytical schemes. In this debate, there is a broad acknowledgement that «culture matters». First of all, and even more than in the past, as a source of externalities with …
