    Le rivalutazioni da leggi speciali: l'evidenza empirica nei bilanci delle imprese italiane

    Using the financial statements of a large sample of private Italian firms belonging to the manufacturing, commercial and service sector over the period 2003-2012, this paper shows that smaller firms with weaker solvency and liquidity conditions and a higher level of financial debts are more likely to revaluate their fixed assets when permitted by special laws. The relation between profitability and the accounting choice of revaluating appears changeable according to the specific fiscal conditions prescribed by each special law. These findings suggest that private Italian firms opportunistically revaluate their assets in order to show an increase in the firm’s wealth. The empirical evidence documented in this paper accords with the institutional context in which private Italian firms operate and with the features that characterise this revaluation practice. Themore or less emphasised fiscal attractiveness and the strengthening of net assets of this accounting treatment appear particularly suitable to balance the potentially conflicting expectations of lenders and fiscal authorities. Nonetheless, these findings cast a dark shadow on the perspective that the “revaluation model”, at present only allowed by IAS/IFRS, is extended to all Italian firms

    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
