Il rapporto banca-impresa: aspetti definitori e premesse teorico-metodologiche.

2016

Questo capitolo introduttivo, pur ponendosi l’obiettivo di analizzare i fondamenti teorici del rapporto banca-impresa, non vuole avere la pretesa di prendere in esame in modo esaustivo la copiosa letteratura teorica ed empirica sulle scelte di finanziamento delle imprese, struttura finanziaria e intermediazione creditizia di natura bancaria, quanto piuttosto lo scopo di delineare i diversi percorsi di ricerca e di studio sui temi della finanza d’impresa e dell’intermediazione finanziaria, quali premesse teorico-metodologiche dell’analisi empirica del mercato creditizio della provincia di Caltanissetta, e in particolare del rapporto banca-impresa, condotta nei capitoli successivi.

Risk profiles for re-profiling sovereign debt

2015

Purpose – This paper aims to use a risk management approach for re-profiling of sovereign debt. It develops profiles that trade off expected cost of financing alternative debt structures against their risk. The risk profiles are particularly informative for countries facing sovereign debt crisis, as they allow us to identify, with high probability, debt unsustainability. Risk profiles for two eurozone countries with excessive debt, Cyprus and Italy, were developed. In addition, risk profiles were developed for a proposal to impose debt sanctions in the Ukrainian crisis and it was shown that the financial impact could be substantial. Design/methodology/approach – Using scenario analysis, a r…

Gender Violence: Social Structure in Latin America, the question of victim and trauma.

2014

In this article, I firstly argue that femicide is a word that indicates the psychological and physical violence against women because they belong to the female gender. I analyze in particular the femicide cases that took place in the border between Ciudad Juarez and Texas from 1993 until now, in addition to the cases on the border between Tijuana and Baja California. During this period more than 700 women were murdered in the border area between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, still the criminals of these brutal homicides are unknown. The reason for the lack of justice can be explained through institutional corruption and the existence of a patriarchal society. Through an interdisciplinary appro…

The chariots of Pharaoh at the Red Sea The crises of capitalism and of environment. A modest proposal towards sustainability

2016

The present global situation recalls us the two walls in which the Red Sea had split to allow that Pharaoh follow the people beloved by God. On one wall stays the economic crisis, that is tout court the capitalist crisis, on the other wall there is the predicament of environment. Then, it is reasonable to wonder if the walls will tumble down with severe damages to all the characters, this time, of this representation; unless a “modest proposal”, of the kind that we will try to formulate in this paper, be intensively pursued. Several of the themes here gathered have already been object of reflection in some previous works. In this paper we collect and enrich those ideas, and put a special at…

The model allows calculation of ratings reflecting reliability level of banks. The model is designed based on the multiple choice model ordered logit. The chapter identifies the most important factors reflecting reliability level of banks, incl…

Corporate Governance of Banks after the Financial Crisis - Theory, Evidence, Reforms

2010

Poor corporate governance of banks has increasingly been acknowledged as an important cause of the recent financial crisis. Given the developments since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, this fact is not readily to be explained. Listed banks and even non-listed firms worldwide have publicly emphasized that good corporate governance is of vital concern for the company, and have adopted firm-specific corporate governance codices. Moreover, banking supervisors have taken up the issue. In particular, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has already published two editions of a guideline entitled “Enhancing corporate governance for banking organisations” which perfectly reflects the super…
