The relationship between credit availability and investments contraction during recent systemic banking crises. A study of causal relationships
No full textEconomic literature has uncovered biases in identifying the connection between credit supply and overall output during financial turbulence. From this standpoint, a banking crisis typically leads to a reduction in the amount of credit offered by banks, accompanied by a deceleration in economic activity. Under these circumstances, various causal relationships elucidate the simultaneous occurrence of these two fundamental phenomena: the contraction of credit and the deceleration of the economy. Moving from the database of Laevan and Valencia (2018) we consider 151 episodes of systemic banking crises, examining the primary factors and consequences that have affected 118 countries to varying degrees in terms of credit constraints and economic deceleration. The analysis of various aspects of credit demand and supply during financial crises provides compelling evidence that supports the hypothesis that, in certain situations, the contraction of credit during financial crises is primarily due to a decrease in credit demand from households and businesses rather than a deliberate reduction of credit by banks
Secondary Buyouts, Private Equity and Firms’ Corporate Governance
No full textDuring last years numerous studies have focused attention on determinants of leverage buyouts (LBOs), finding strong evidence about the capability of those operations to improve firms’ productivity and operating performance. Nonetheless, there is a lack of research concerning the performance realized by secondary buyouts (SBOs), which are operations where a LBO is refinanced with a new ownership structure that includes a new set of private equity financiers and a new debt structure. By the analysis of a initial dataset of 164 transactions occurred in Italy during the period from 2000 to 2008, we find evidence of SBOs’ rationales of corporate governance, with significant firms’ performance improvements

Eyes absent. Anteromedial plate L 263, W 336, anteriorly with a rounded extension. Posteromedial plate L 482, W 300. Large anterolateral plate L 243, W 102; large posterolateral plate L 251, W 70. All dorsal plates and platelets without glandularia, but the associated setae present. Idiosoma ventrally L 867, W 502. Suture lines of coxal plates indistinct. Genital field placed between first coxae, L 57, W 94. Gnathosoma slender in ventral view. Palp (Fig. 1C): total L 236; L: P-1, 8; P-2, 84; P-3, 52; P-4, 60; P-5, 32; P-4 anteroventrally with a heavy seta, medial side of P-4 also with a stout seta. L of I-Leg-4-6: 76, 96, 84 (120 to tip of segment). I-Leg-6 anterodorsally with a heavy seta, I-Leg-4 and I-Leg-5 anteroventrally with 1-3 setae. L of IV-Leg-4-6: 96, 106, 88 (140 to tip of segment). IV-Leg-6 anterodorsally with two heavy setae close to each other. IV-Leg-4 and -5 anteroventrally with a group of setae, one of these setae of IV-Leg-5 with large pectinations. All legs with large claws.</p> <p>Male — Unknown.</p> <p>Etymology — Named after the Arabian Peninsula.</p> <p> Remarks — This is the fourth known species of the genus <i>Bharatavolzia</i>, two species are known from India (Cook, 1967), while one species is known from Iran (Schwoerbel and Sepasgosarian, 1980). Cook (1967) erected the subgenus <i>Bharatavolziella</i> for species without eye capsules. The new species differs from the two other known species of this subgenus in the slender gnathosoma and the presence of two heavy setae on P-4 instead of one or none. Moreover, compared to the Indian <i>B. pallida</i> Cook the new species has a larger anterior extension of the anteromedial dorsal plate, and compared to <i>B. cooki</i> Schwoerbel and Sepasgosarian from Iran the large anterolateral plate is less slender. The large posterolateral platelet of the new species is much longer than the smaller platelet posterior to it, but in <i>B. cooki</i> these platelets are much less different in size.</p>Published as part of <i>Smit, H. & Pesic, V., 2010, New Species Of Water Mites From Oman, With Some Zoogeographical Notes (Acari: Hydrachnidia), pp. 151-195 in Acarologia 50 (2)</i> on page 152, DOI: 10.1051/acarologia/20101953, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5404084">http://zenodo.org/record/5404084</a>
