Crescita sostenibile: l'Europa ha un Piano
No full textLa sostenibilità è un concetto che si ritrova sempre più al centro dei dibattiti economici e sociopolitici dei Paesi all’avanguardia. L’Unione Europea, che non vuole assolutamente restare indietro rispetto agli altri su questo fronte, ha da poco elaborato il “Piano d’azione per finanziare la crescita sostenibile”. Un documento che va nella direzione di perseguire gli obiettivi già pattuiti con l’Onu e rivolgere una speciale attenzione al problema globale del cambiamento climatico. Per questo, il testo calibra anche i requisiti patrimoniali delle banche e favorisce i finanziamenti sostenibili erogati dalle stesse. Tutte indicazioni che permettono di trarre spunti interessanti sul tema per il mondo della finanza, anche in ottica futura
Credit Crunch in East Asia: A Retrospective
Full text linkIn this paper, we explore the issue on credit crunch from a comparative perspective. Utilizing longer time series data, we investigate the existence of credit crunch in selected crisis-hit economies in East Asia over the period 1980-2002. We detected some episodes of credit crunch both before and after the Asian economic crisis. These episodes after the Crisis are somewhat different from those detected by previous studies on the issue. We, then, review the credit-crunch episodes in the broad macroeconomic context in order to assess our results in the longer-run perspective. We are well aware that financial liberalization has changed the financial environments of these countries more or less in due course. Even so, the mixed results we obtained on the existence of credit crunch do not suggest that the impact of the austerity programs on financial intermediation after the Asian Crisis was ambiguous. On the contrary, they implied that the impact of the programs were so severe that credit crunch or supply retrenchment was overwhelmed by a sharp fall in credit demand because of real and expected persistent overall economic depression.credit crunch, East Asia, Asian Economic Crisis, disequilibrium analysis

Banques locales et soutien au développement décentralisé des PME en Italie
No full textLe développement de l’économie italienne au cours du XXe siècle a été relativement intense. Il s’est fait en deux étapes de forte croissance (chacune avec des caractéristiques très différentes), séparées par la période de l’entre deux guerres.
Au cours de ce siècle, la structure bancaire italienne ne subit pas de changements fondamentaux si on considère sa structure dimensionnelle: présence importante des banques de dimension moyenne et petite, enracinées au niveau local. Toutefois, dans une première étape, avant la Première guerre mondiale, le développement s’axe autour des relations étroites entre la grande industrie du Nord-ouest du pays et les grandes banques mixtes. Lors de la seconde étape, dans les années 1950 et 1960, les industries et les pôles industriels déjà en place ont atteint leur maturité ; lorsque au lendemain du premier choc pétrolier, s’accroît le rôle des PMEs et des districts industriels de la « Troisième Italie ». L’expérience italienne, comparée à celle de la France, de l’Angleterre, de l’Allemagne, peut s’expliquer par sa structure bancaire différente et originale.
La question que pose l’histoire des banques locales et régionales italiennes est de savoir si le localisme bancaire ne constitue pas le revers de la médaille du développement décentralisé, suivant des impulsions à la fois institutionnelles et spontanées. L’évidence histoirique semble montrer que non seulement la réglementation a protégé les banques locales et les a mises à l’abri de la concurrence des grandes banques (privées ou non), mais aussi que les communautés locales, les réseaux d’intérêts ont apporté un support considérable à la formation, à la diffusion et à la prospérité de ces initiatives.
En premier lieu l’analyse aborde la question des types différents de banques du point de vue de l’enracinement local. Ensuite, on évalue l’évolution des banques locales en rapport au tissu économique, selon plusieurs étapes : avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, dans la nouvelle phase d’expansion qui intervient à partir de 1945, dans celle de développement décentralisé qui démarre principalement à partir de la fin des années 1960. Enfin, les sections suivantes sont consacrées aux problèmes plus récents concernant les économies locales face à la globalisation des marchés et à la déréglementation financière : assistons-nous au maintien des avantages relatifs ou à la fin du cercle vertueux lié aux rapports entre banque et petite industrie

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
