Usurarian contracts. Current jurisprudencial perspective
2018
El objetivo de este trabajo es destacar las novedades presentadas por la Jurisprudencia sobre contratos usurarios celebrados entre las empresas bancarias y sus clientes. La coexistencia de la Ley de Usura con las regulaciones para la protección de los consumidores contra cláusulas abusivas no ha menoscabado la vigencia de ley, pero sus diferencias en cuanto a la declaración de nulidad generan incertidumbre, por lo que sería conveniente una mayor armonización. The objective of this work is to highlight the novelties presented by the Jurisprudence on usurious contracts concluded between banking companies and their clients. The coexistence of the Usury Law with the regulations for the protecti…
Ricerche in tema di società questuarie
2019
Intorno al regime delle società di tipo questuario – riconducibili agli schemi teorici della societas universorum quae ex quaestu veniunt – e delle società unius alicuius negotiationis e unius rei, si profusero gli sforzi interpretativi dei giuristi romani, fin dalla fine dell’età repubblicana. La monografia scientifica ripercorre le tracce della individuazione della nozione stessa di quaestus (guadagno), con particolare riferimento alla inclusione al suo interno delle donazioni cd. remuneratorie; ancora, ricostruisce il dibattito giurisprudenziale sorto intorno alla questione se i soci – nella determinazione delle quote – dovessero rispettare una proporzione rispetto ai conferimenti, con u…
Spaniards’ Secular Ritual
2015
Football is the most popular sport in Spain, and its strong attraction is clearly reflected in its economic dimensions. Recent estimations of the economic influence of Spanish football concluded that it had an effect on production of some €4,000,000,000, almost one per cent of the general Gross National Product (GNP) and about 1.2 per cent of the GNP of the services sector (LFP, 2004). Adding in other indirect effects, such as employee remuneration and the gross operating surplus, the total impact of Spanish football on the Spanish economy climbs to €8,066,000,000, approximately 1.7 per cent of the overall GNP and 2.5 per cent of the GNP of the services sector, and it provides direct or ind…
Gestational surrogacy. Current view
2019
Surrogate motherhood is an assisted procreation practice by which a woman gestates an embryo with which she has no biological relationship on behalf of a contracting couple or individual, having to relinquish the child to them after its birth. This practice normally entails a financial remuneration for the pregnant woman; when this is not the case, it is called altruistic surrogacy. From a medical perspective, potential problems for the surrogate and for children born through this practice should be taken into account, especially the existence of possible disabilities in the child. The bioethical aspects are of most interest because the practice of surrogacy objectifies the expectant mother…
What is the Right Mix? Toward a Compensatory Theory of Employer Attractiveness
2021
Despite its long history, employer attractiveness research so far has almost exclusively studied large corporate firms and focused on the question which employer benefits influence firms’ employer attractiveness. However, we know only little about to what extent these findings generalize to more resource-constrained firms, such as small companies and start-ups. To address this void in the literature, this study integrates the theory of instrumental-symbolic employer benefits with a neo-configurational perspective to propose and test a compensatory theory of employer attractiveness that explains how start-ups achieve high employer attractiveness. Using set-theoretic methods, we analyze 219 s…
Ancillary Services in the Energy Blockchain for Microgrids
2019
The energy blockchain is a distributed Internet protocol for energy transactions between nodes of a power system. Recent applications of the energy blockchain in microgrids only consider the energy transactions between peers without considering the technical issues that can arise, especially when the system is islanded. One contribution of the paper is, thus, to depict a comprehensive framework of the technical and economic management of microgrids in the blockchain era, considering, for the first time, the provision of ancillary services and, in particular, of the voltage regulation service. When more PV nodes are operating in the grid, large reactive power flows may appear in the branches…
Executive remuneration determinants: New evidence from meta-analysis
2019
This meta-analysis takes stock of 121 C.E.O. pay studies published between 1998 and 2018 with the objective of identifying the main drivers of C.E.O. pay from a global perspective and contributing to the agency vs managerial debate on this ground. The meta-results disclose a positive C.E.O. pay–performance correlation (the highest correlation coefficient corresponds to Earnings per share with a 34%) as the agency theory prescribes and the governance policies promote. However, firm size still predominates as the main driver of C.E.O. pay (correlation coefficient is around 44%) according to managerial premises. Moreover, our results reconcile both approaches because results of the meta-regres…
Algunas reflexiones acerca de la stjue de 9 de julio de 2020 sobre los pactos novatorios en materia de cláusulas suelo
2021
The Sentence of the Court of Justice of the European Union of July 9, 2020 comes to answer the five questions that, in its preliminary question, the Court of First Instance and Instruction No. 3 of Teruel asks about the validity of the new agreements in the context of the floor clauses, establishing jurisprudential doctrine on this matter about which our Supreme Court had previously ruled in its Judgments of October 16, 2017, in the sense of considering the agreed floor clause null as a consequence of the novation agreement and, subsequently, those of April 11, 2018 and September 13, 2018 in the opposite direction, declaring that the novation agreement was valid. It is a long-awaited and in…
Compensi e “buonuscita” dell’amministratore delegato di S.p.a.: problemi di competenza
2021
Il tribunale di Roma prende posizione sulla delicata questione della competenza alla determinazione dei compensi e delle altre remunerazioni degli amministratori delegati di società per azioni, discostandosi da una interpretazione consolidata, specie in dottrina, e optando per l’applicazione in materia del comma 1 dell’art. 2389 c.c., con argomentazioni idonee ad aprire un dibattito sul significato delle “particolari cariche” degli amministratori di S.p.a. In facing the thorny matter of competence to determine payments and other kind of remuneration for chief executive officers in corporations, the Court of Rome distances itself from a steady interpretation mainly spread among scholars, and…
Supervisory Review of Key Functions
2015
Picking up from the Chap. 7 examination of the term “key functions” and of the key function holders, this chapter undertakes an examination of the supervisory review of key functions. In particular, this inquiry involves the areas of supervision of the key function holders as to fit-and-proper monitoring, the issue of remuneration of key function holders, the duties of notice and disclosure attendant on a change in key function holders, and the powers of insurance supervisory authorities in the supervision of key function holders.
