The mirage of floating exchange rates
No full textThis note summarizes some of the highlights of my longer paper with Guillermo Calvo”Fear of Floating.” Many emerging market countries have suffered financial crises. One view blames soft pegs for these crises. Adherents to that view suggest that countries move to corner solutions--hard pegs or floating exchange rates. We analyze the behavior of exchange rates, reserves, and interest rates to assess whether there is evidence that country practice is moving toward corner solutions. We focus on whether countries that claim they are floating are indeed doing so. We find that countries that say they allow their exchange rate to float mostly do not--there seems to be an epidemic case of “fear of floating.”fear of floating fixed exchange rates interest rates reserves
Il funzionamento familiare e aspetti di valutazione attraverso il colloquio
No full textIl capitolo, di Vincenzo Calvo e Mariangela Battistella, propone un modello teorico di comprensione del funzionamento familiare, il Modello Circonflesso delle Relazioni Familiari di Olson, descrivendone le principali caratteristiche e illustrandone le potenzialità in quanto cornice interpretativa in ambito clinico
La lettura del colloquio attraverso l'analisi del contenuto e l'analisi testuale.
No full textL'ultimo capitolo, scritto da Vincenzo Calvo e Ilaria Parrinello, ha lo scopo di presentare due metodi di lettura e d’analisi di testi scritti, ampiamente utilizzati in psicologia e nelle scienze sociali, che prendono il nome di Analisi del Contenuto e Analisi Lessico-Testuale. L’utilità di tali metodi risiede nel fatto che permettono di essere applicati ad un’ampia varietà di materiali, quali la trascrizione di colloqui psicologici, d’interviste, di racconti o narrazioni spontanee, sia in ambito clinico che di ricerca

On the neutron emission from the Ti/D system
No full textThe results of a set of measurements of neutron emission from D(2) gas loaded Ti (metallic and sponge) at different initial values of the D/Ti ratio are reported. The D/Ti system was submitted to thermal cycles in order to pass through phase transitions. We observed no neutron emission with an upper limit of 0.05 neutrons s(-1)g(-1)(1 sigma level), in four series of measurements, whereas in two series we observed a neutron emission at a similar to 2 sigma level
Welfare implications of Calvo vs. Rotemberg pricing assumptions
No full textThis paper compares the welfare implications of two widely used pricing assumptions in the New-Keynesian literature: Calvo-pricing vs. Rotemberg-pricing. We show that despite the strong similarities between the two assumptions to a first order of approximation, in general they might entail different welfare costs at higher order of approximation. In the special case of non-distorted steady state, the two pricing assumptions imply identical welfare losses to a second order of approximation.

The project of Liberation and the projection of national identity. Calvo, Aragon, Jouhandeau, 1944-1945
No full textThis dissertation focuses on the months of liberation of France, June 1944 to May 1945. It analyzes three under-studied works taken as samples of texts that touch upon the question of contested identities. The texts are chosen from the main divisions of the political spectrum, namely Gaullist, far right, and far left. Although the focus is on the texts themselves, I trace the arguments found in these works to the larger discourses in which they are inscribed. In particular, I address the questions of guilt and innocence, justice and vengeance, past and future in the given historical circumstances. The first chapter examines "Le droit romain n'est plus" by Louis Aragon. I focus on the discussion of justice, vengeance, and punishment as they emerge from the text, notions that are embedded in the broader polemics among the intellectuals of the Resistance. I discuss the importance of music in this story where it plays the role of a structuring device. Finally, I examine the associations that can be made between writing, music and nationalism in the larger context of national identity.The second chapter deals with La Bete est morte! La guerre mondiale chez les animaux by Calvo. It is an allegory using animals as protagonists and is in comic book format. I discern three loci in the narration that work together in order to re-inscribe the national identity in the values of the republic, thereby providing its young readers with a grammar of good and evil, patriotism and treason, guilt and absolution. The third chapter is a discussion of Journal sous l'Occupation by Marcel Jouhandeau who flirted with Fascism in the 1930s and manifested his anti-Semitism in articles and a book. I read his Journal sous l'Occupation as a public testimony in writing of his purge trial that never happened. I investigate the question of fear, the process of self-exoneration in his reasoning, the question of the journal as instrument of self-definition, and discuss personal and national identity.The conclusion focuses on Guy Kohen's Retour d'Auschwitz and ties the different works and contemporary journalistic discourses together
