    Financial constraints and unemployment equilibrium

    No full text
    The aim of this paper is to show that a robust determination of unemployment equilibria can be based on the integration of credit rationing into a general equilibrium model. We first review some of the Keynesian macroeconomic models. We show that the problems bequeathed by Keynes' legacy are only partially solved by the strand of the new Keynesian economics based on market imperfections and endogenous rigidities. In order to overcome these problems we refer to credit rationing. In particular, we build a simple general equilibrium model in which prices are-in principle-perfectly flexible and credit rationing implies unemployment equilibri

    Financial constraints and unemployment equilibrium

    Full text link
    This paper aims to show (1) that the IS/LM model will be a coherent solution to Keynes’s analysis of unemployment, if the relaxation of the general equilibrium framework is based solely on exogenous price and quantity constraints; (2) that the consequent determination of unemployment equilibria is analytically fragile and does not support Keynes’ attempt to reduce the standard approach to a particular case of his “general theory”; and (3) that a more robust determination of unemployment equilibria has to be based on the integration of credit rationing into a general equilibrium model. To illustrate points (1) and (2), we review some of the traditional macroeconomic models of the neoclassical synthesis, and we show that the problems bequeathed by these models are only partially solved by the strand of the new Keynesian economics based on market imperfections and endogenous rigidities. To illustrate point (3) we build a simple general equilibrium model in which prices are – in principle – perfectly flexible and credit rationing implies unemployment equilibria. Apart from the crucial role played by the credit market, our model is very similar to that developed by the neoclassical synthesis

    Dante nelle dispute accademico-linguistiche del Cinquecento: tra "difesa" e "opposizioni"

    No full text
    Il saggio ripercorre una delle maggiori polemiche che si dibattono nel Cinquecento intorno agli aspetti letterari e linguistici della Commedia dantesca e che si sviluppa all’incirca nell’ultimo trentennio del secolo, coinvolgendo un nutrito gruppo di intellettuali, anche accademici, bolognesi-romagnoli e senesi che entrarono in ostile opposizione reciproca a “colpi” di trattazioni e lettere, manoscritte e a stampa, e confronti a voce indiretti per il tramite di intermediari. Il contesto marchigiano e in particolare Macerata sono coinvolti in questa disputa attraverso l’Accademia de’ Catenati, fin da subito implicata nelle discussioni che interessarono il suo fondatore, il bolognese Girolamo Zoppio (o Zoppi). La ricostruzione del contesto della polemica è accompagnata dall'analisi e dal commento delle testimonianze offerte dalle edizioni a stampa, in particolare di Bellisario Bulgarini e di Girolamo Zoppio

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “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
