Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Post Financial Crisis Securitization: Can (EU) 2017/2402 Make any Difference? : A critical Analysis of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402
Get PDFFollowing the devastating effect of the financial crisis, the securitization in Europe is still largely impaired and yet to get to the pre-crisis level. There are have been many regulatory interventions to revive the securitization market, with the latest being the regulation (EU) 2017/2402 that will be in force by January 2019. This thesis thus critically examines the regulation in the light of its ability to make a difference in European securitization, and possibly preventing another securitization-induced financial crisis.
First, the rationale and motivations for securitization are highlighted, and possible drawbacks noted. In the same vein, the positives of having the regulation (EU) 2017/2402 are far reaching. For example, with the regulation coming to force, there is the expectation for more transparency, simplicity and standardization of securitization in Europe. The regulation (EU) 2017/2402, while replacing the laws on securitization in Europe, also creates the general framework for securitization and specific framework for simple, transparent and standardized (STS) securitization. The motivation for European securitizes to get the STS tag is that it makes them eligible for differentiated capital requirement of regulation (EU) 2017/2401.
The benefits of the regulation (EU) 2017/2402, however, there are valid concerns about the overall impact on securitization in Europe. This thesis categorizes the concerns to two – sundry concerns and discrepancy concerns. The former relates to the general concerns about the regulation, while the latter expresses the concerns that show differences between what the regulation seeks (as marketed by the authorities), and what is realistically available.
The thesis finally concludes on the note that the European securitization market will be greatly impacted by the regulation (EU) 2017/2402 - there will hopefully be a lot of simplicity, transparency, and standardization or comparability, going forward. In addition, parties in securitization transactions now have more clearly defined roles, e.g. investors now have the responsibility of doing their due diligence before and after holding securitization positions, as well as originators and sponsors providing material information about securitization transactions

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
