Presentazione
No full textSi raccolgono in questo volume le relazioni, ampliate e riviste, presentate al Workshop “La Banca di Raffaele Mattioli”, che si è svolto a Pisa il 12 maggio 2017 organizzato dal Dipartimento di Economia e Management.
I relatori del Workshop (Ada Carlesi, Silvio Bianchi Martini, Antonella Cappiello, Fabiano Colombini, Mirella Pellegrini, Divo Gronchi, Gaetano Miccichè, Andrea Calamanti, Franco Tutino) e il contributo aggiunto di Marco Vitale, prendono spunto dal libro di Andrea Calamanti “La Banca di Raffaele Mattioli. Una visione unitaria e sistemica” per analizzare e approfondire il pensiero del grande Banchiere alla luce dell’attuale contesto economico e politico
Caterina Colombini, o della cugina sedotta. Una ‘ricostruzione’ della figura di Caterina attraverso i testi
No full textIn this essay the author demonstrates that it is possible to “reconstruct” the figure of Caterina Colombini (1340?-1387) – Giovanni Colombini’s cousin – through a group of texts: the hagiography of Caterina, the letters sent to her by Giovanni Colombini and, finally, Giovanni’s biography written by Feo Belcari. The author divides his text into four parts: the first part analyzes the content of Caterina’s hagiography; the second examines the linguistic form of the hagiographic text; in the third, the author analyzes the latent meaning of the window, a symbolic place where Giovanni and Caterina converse on divine topics; in the last part, to conclude, the teachings that Giovanni gives to Catherine and her spiritual daughters – the Gesuate – are analyzed

Alternate bar instability: 2D vs. 3D modeling of the flow field
No full textThe bed instability leading to the formation of alternate and multiple bars in river has been deeply investigated in the past, starting from the linear analyses of Callander (1969) and Blondeaux and Seminara (1985), through the weakly nonlinear analyses of Colombini et al. (1987) and Schielen et al. (1993), up to the fully nonlinear solution of Colombini and Tubino (1991). All these works were based on a 2D depth-averaged steady flow model coupled with a suitable implementation of the Exner equation. The rationale behind this choice is that the shallow-water
assumption holds whenever the relevant processes occur over streamwise and spanwise distances many times greater than the flow depth. As a consequence, the formation of ‘longer’ bed forms, such as bars, can be studied by means of depth-averaged models, whereas ‘shorter’ bed
forms, such as dunes and antidunes, require the implementation of more refined flow models, whereby the vertical structure of the flow is accounted for in the calculations. Quite recently, Colombini and Stocchino (2012) have presented a 3D flow model aiming at the investigation of the effects associated with three-dimensionality in the formation of dunes and antidunes. In the present contribution we focus on alternate bar linear stability and perform a comparison between the results obtained with the latter three-dimensional flow model and with a conventional two-dimensional depth-averaged formulation
Capital Constraints by Supervision in Europe
No full textThis chapter aims at analysing the capital requirements designated by supervisory authorities for individual banks. It aims at providing an overview of additional capital requirements demanded by the supervision unit of the European Central Bank in accordance with the appraisal or asset quality review of the economic situation of individual banks. Additional capital requirements can be imposed by an asset quality review or by a stress test indicating bank situations in a crisis or near crisis. This additional constraint considers a number of situations in which the supervisory authorities establish the need for additional capital. It should be underlined that extreme discretion is exercised in relation to decisions concerning additional capital by supervision, which may be required in addition to capital by regulation that is calculated in accordance with Basel III and the forthcoming Basel IV. However, this points to an issue of overlapping rules and uncertainties in the regulatory and supervisory criteria used for calculating and creating the required level of capital for individual banks
Raising Capital or Improving Risk Management and Efficiency
No full textThis chapter takes into consideration the raising of capital from time to time or the improving of risk management and efficiency from one period to another in the context of banks.
The raising of capital is the main tool used by regulation on a prudential application and by supervision on a discretional application in order to maintain the viability of the banking system. Capital requirements are calculated through Basel III and the forthcoming Basel IV; they are also imposed as an additional tool through discretional decisions by supervisory authorities. This can be viewed as a form of “recurrent stressing” to be imposed on banks as a means of pursuing the stability objective. It is important to point out that capital raising is useful only in order to hedge the solvency risk at the specific date examined and only if the solvency risk is correctly estimated
Banking Efficiency in Europe
No full textThis chapter examines the efficiency of banks in the framework of production evolution, banking business and business areas, taking into account inputs and outputs and the impact on costs, revenue and profits. Improving banking efficiency constitutes the premises for a structural reinforcement in the economic account, creating the best premises for bank survival.
Evolving production and business areas and competition between small- and medium-sized banks and great banks, as well as the shocks and shifts induced by financial crises of recent years, tend to improve the strength and solidity of best banks
