Effects of Fiscal Stimulus in Structural Models
2010
The paper assesses, using seven structural models used heavily by policymaking institutions, the effectiveness of temporary fiscal stimulus. Models can, more easily than empirical studies, account for differences between fiscal instruments, for differences between structural characteristics of the economy, and for monetary-fiscal policy interactions. Findings are: (i) There is substantial agreement across models on the sizes of fiscal multipliers. (ii) The sizes of spending and targeted transfers multipliers are large. (iii) Fiscal policy is most effective if it has some persistence and if monetary policy accommodates it. (iv) The perception of permanent fiscal stimulus leads to significant…

The early years of Monte dei Paschi's new journal, 1972-1983
2023
We set the stage in 1972 when the bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena founded Economic Notes as part of its manifold scheme to reach two main goals: going international and acquiring a stronger position in the public discourse on economics and finance.

Moreover, through the turmoil of its first dozen years, Economic Notes' bold strategy attracted top international authors and testimonials, selected topical issues, knitted theory and policy, embraced pluralist and forward‐looking views, helped the University of Siena to strengthen its international connections. The Journal quickly becam…
La politique sportive des Emirats du Golfe : comment obtenir une visibilité internationale ?
2006
Les petits Emirats du Golfe Persique ont choisi le sport pour obtenir une visibilité internationale et modifier leur image. Le sport offrait la possibilité d’afficher une modernité souvent associée à l’adoption de valeurs venues de l’Occident. Sans traditions sportives et très peu peuplés, ces Etats ont néanmoins réussi leur entrée sur la scène sportive internationale en mobilisant beaucoup d’argent. Ils ont pu ainsi accueillir et organiser des compétitions sportives internationales de grande ampleur et se faire reconnaître. Leur politique a franchi un nouveau pas, depuis quatre années, en naturalisant des athlètes de haut niveau pour obtenir des médailles car en terme de communication, l’i…

2018
Armed forces in Syria involve enormous forces, which on the one hand belong to the armed forces of Assad, and on the other hand are the forces of the religions seeking to overthrow his regime. In this country, regardless of the actual civil war that has been taking place since 2011, Assad's forces, such as the units of the Russian army, include mainly air forces.

In addition, military operations in Syria and Iraq lead the coalition forces of Western states under the command of the United States, which use aviation to continually bombard the so-called "Islamic State”. In the north of Syria, in the region of Aleppo, th…
