Do Powerful CEOs Determine Microfinance Performance?

2012

Authors version of an article published in Journal of Management Studies. The definitive version is available from Wiley at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-6486.2012.01046.x Recently, microfinance has been coming under public and media attacks. The microcredit crisis following from microfinance-induced suicides in 2010 in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh indicates that weak corporate governance and imprudent risk taking have far-reaching consequences. Yet, analyses of corporate governance mechanisms among microfinance institutions (MFIs) remain underdeveloped. As a response, this study examines the impact of CEO power on MFI risk taking by deriving explicit predictions of this effect fr…

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC SPENDING DECOMPOSITION ON ORGANIZED CRIME

2016

The aim of this paper is to investigate, empirically, what components of the public spending imply a decreasing effect on the organized crime and what components create opportunities for the organized crime, discussing also the role of government effciency. The findings show a strikingly consistent pattern. Organized crime mainly operates in the distribution of the public spending for health, housing and community amenities. There is a decreasing effect on organized crime of the public expenditure devoted to education and to create morality values, such as the expenditure for recreation, culture and religion. Finally, government efficiency in public spending is beneficial for reducing the o…

COVID-SCORE Spain: public perceptions of key government COVID-19 control measures

2021

Abstract Background Spain was initially one of the countries most affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In June 2020, the COVID-SCORE-10 study reported that the Spanish public’s perception of their government’s response to the pandemic was low. This study examines these perceptions in greater detail. Methods We employed an ordered logistic regression analysis using COVID-SCORE-10 data to examine the Spanish public’s perception of 10 key aspects of their government’s COVID-19 control measures. These included support for daily needs, mental and general health services, communication, information and coordination, which were examined by gender, age, education level, hav…

Institutional Path Dependence in Competitive Dynamics: The Case of Paper Industries in Finland and the USA

2017

Prior research on competitive dynamics has failed to offer tools to understand distorted patterns of competition that emerge from distinct institutional and historical contexts. Our analysis suggests that a joint effect of institutional rules, governance structures, and shared cognition plays a pivotal role in firm-level competitive behavior and capability development. We show how globally significant market positions can result from specific institutional arrangements between firms and governments, especially if coupled with interfirm contractual commitments. Our results call for more attention to these interfirm commitments that are built on formal rules and governmental support, but whos…

Legge finanziaria e dinamiche della forma di governo

2010

I documenti di bilancio rappresentano sempre di più negli ordinamenti contemporanei il banco di prova della solidità della maggioranza di governo e più estesamente dell'efficace funzionamento della forma di governo nel suo complesso. L'esperienza italiana costituisce un formidabile esempio a riguardo. In un arco temporale ormai più che trentennale si è assistito all'introduzione dello struemnto della legge finanziaria e alle sue diverse evoluzioni sia sul piano dei contenuti, sia su quello delle procedure parlamentari di approvazione, che, proprio nel contesto della "democrazia maggioritaria", hanno registrato forzature e alterazioni al limite del rispetto dell'impianto costituzionale. Sull…

Parliamentarisation as Politicisation

2021

Understanding politics as a contingent and controversial activity, politicisation refers to those activities that create or make visible the political quality in the phenomena in question. Parliamentarisation is a distinct strategy of politicisation. In this chapter, parliament refers to a certain procedural and institutional ideal type of acting politically. The parliamentary way of politicising acting and thinking forms a Gedankenbild, a mental image. It is an ideal type that one-sidedly accentuates and intensifies the political way of thinking. The parliamentary way of proceeding politically transcends the given polity: ‘parliament’ is not primarily a parliament ‘of’ a unit, such as the …
