The effect of language use on the financial performance of microfinance banks: Evidence from cross-border activities in 74 countries
2019
Abstract This multi-year study examines the relationship between financial performance and language use, observing 405 partnerships between microfinance banks and their international financial partners in 74 countries. Drawing on language research in international business, we find that microfinance banks based in English-speaking, French-speaking, and Spanish-speaking countries have higher performance. Furthermore, the linguistic distance between the home country of a microfinance bank and the home country of its international partner(s) is negatively related to its financial performance. Our large-scale study confirms the effect of language use on organization-level financial performance …

Las traducciones del Decameron de Boccaccio en España (1800-1940)
2008
This is a review of every translation of the Decameron (total, partial, adaptations) undertaken in Spain between 1800 and 1940. Many of the anthologies reviewed give priority to the novelle with greater erotic or anticlerical content, although this is often toned down by censure or self-censure. The result is rather poor: the Decameron has been published on very few occasions by a renowned editor or a skilled translator. Most of the translations are from the French, and many of these plagiarise each other. The real number of translations is therefore quite low (only one of the three complete translations is directly from the Italian). The language used in the translations is generally poor.…
Verbi locativi in italiano come varianti di verbi supporto
2021
In questo articolo discuteremo la nozione di "carrier verbs" (secondo la definizione del linguista americano Zellig Harris) o di "light verbs" (come denominata all'inizio del XX secolo da Otto Jespersen). La nostra cornice teorica è rappresentata dal lessico-grammatica di Maurice Gross, una teoria iniziata negli anni settanta a partire dalla sintassi del francese sulle basi matematiche già individuate per la lingua inglese da Zellig Harris. In particolare, discuteremo di come alcuni verbi locativi dell'italiano possano essere usati come verbi supporto (secondo la definizione data da Gross dei "light verbs" harrisiani) e assumano il ruolo sintattico una volta attribuito dai grammatici greci …
Entre arcadia y barbarie. Figuras del campo en el cine de los años 30
2010
Los años veinte fueron, en Europa en general y en América, y a su modo en España, momentos de explosión de las urbes. La arquitectura, las artes, el diseño, la fotografía y, por supuesto, el cine participaron de la celebración extática. De Paul Strand y Charles Sheeler a Dziga Vertov, de Walter Ruttmann a Alberto Cavalcanti, de Roben Flaherty a Herman Weinberg, no hubo capital que no tuviera su elogio. En consecuencia, el campo no representó la cresta de ese movimiento por la modernidad: anclado en tipología y mitos arcaicos, encarnación inmóvil de la autenticidad, heroico apenas en algunas manifestaciones, como el esfuerzo que sugerían los llamados Bergfilme alemanes (filmes de montaña), e…
How local conditions affect global banking: the case of BBVA and Santander
2021
This paper explores why Spanish banks internationalize and why Latin America has been the main region for the international expansion of BBVA and Santander. It shows that prior to 1986 Spanish banks had a limited presence abroad, and analyses the main drivers of this initial expansion (remittances and trade connections). However, from 1986 on, there was a confluence of domestic and external factors (economic and regulatory changes in Latin America) that encouraged the international forays of BBVA and Santander. The fact that changes in the Spanish and Latin American financial sectors occurred just when other transnational banks were turning their attention to other regions created the optim…
