Red Coral from Livorno to Hirado. British Early Trading Networks and Maritime Trajectories, c. 1570 to 1623
Throughout the history of Eurasian commercial contacts, the Mediterranean coral epitomizes one the few authentic, attractive and promising items European merchants could export to Asian markets, being valued both in the East and the West. Since the Roman times, it was appreciated by the Han dynasty among the products coming from Europe and western Asia, together with linen fabrics, wool, amber, pearls, and glass objects. In the early modern period, coral fishing and manufacturing increased all over the Mediterranean area. Meanwhile, undiscovered routes and mercantile networks developed to a great extent, opening the era of global interconnected exchanges. Coral trade encouraged once again the expectations of European brokers and entrepreneurs, dealing with the Levant, the Indian sub-continent and East Asia. At the same time, Livorno came to be one of the most important supplying centre for coral craftsmanship and trade, in competition with Genoa, Marseille, the ports of Sicily, Sardinia, Spain, and the Levant
Growth in total factor productivity and links among firms
In this paper we study the relevance of links among firms in explaining the mean and the auto-correlation property of the aggregate total factor productivity rate of growth (Solow residual). Our approach relies on the interaction between idiosyncratic shocks of firms and the network structure of firms. We analytically study this phenomenon using the adjacency matrix of a complete network and we present a simulation with more general random adjacency matrices. We also check empirically, using Italian data, the relationship between the network structure and the Solow
residual. In particular, in the empirical part, we find two main results: firstly, the
relationship between the Solow residual and the measure of connectivity of firms is
positive, in accordance with the analytical results. Secondly, we find that the measure
of connectivity is pro-cyclical with the annual growth rate of industrial production
Pis’ma iz tjur’my’ Il’i Sel’vinskogo kak mistifikacija
The cycle ‘Letters from Prison’ by Il’ja Sel’vinskij is usually reckoned among his early works. It is believed that these poems (from 10 to 13 depending on the edition) were written by the poet in 1919-1920, when he was imprisoned in Simferopol and Sevastopol.
Meanwhile, in our opinion, the poems of the ‘Letters from Prison’ were written much later, most likely in the early 1960s. They are considered early poems as a consequence of a successful mystification carried out by the author. In this paper we present various arguments that support this point of view: from biographical and textual to lexical and statistical
