No full textLe rivalutazioni da leggi speciali: l'evidenza empirica nei bilanci delle imprese italiane
No full textUsing 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

No full textCould a new mode alternative modify psycho-attitudinal factors and travel behavior?
No full textThere is ample consensus that, besides objective characteristics, psycho-attitudinal factors play a key role in influencing people’s mode choice. Hybrid choice models use these theoretical frameworks so as to include latent constructs for capturing the impact of subjective factors on mode choice. But recent work in transportation research raised the question about the ability of hybrid choice models to derive policy implications that aim to change travel behavior, given the focus on cross-sectional data. To address this problem we designed a survey for collecting longitudinal data (socio-economic and psycho-attitudinal) to evaluate, on the one hand, the long-term effects on travel mode choice of the implementation of a new light rail line in the metropolitan area of Cagliari (Italy), on the other to detect any changes in the psycho-attitudinal factors and socio-economic characteristics after implementation of those measures. In particular, the objective of the study is to analyze whether these changes in individual characteristics are able to affect mode choice from a modeling perspective, through the specification and estimation of hybrid models. Our results show that latent variables were not significantly different over waves, showing that the impact of the psychological construct remained stable over time, even after the introduction of the new light rail. Additionally, we found some evidence that the variables that explain the latent variables could change over time
