Riccardo Fava (2021) L´iniziativa dei creditori nella ristrutturazione dell´impresa in crisi fra passato, presente e futuro

L’articolo ripercorre l’evoluzione normativa dell’iniziativa dei creditori nelle procedure di regolazione concordataria della crisi e dell’insolvenza dell’impresa. Il tema viene affrontato ripercor­rendo i dibattiti dottrinali e gli orientamenti giurisprudenziali sorti dalla riforma organica della Legge Fallimentare nel 2006, passando per la miniriforma del 2015, fino al Codice della Crisi d’Impresa, per poi concludere in ottica de iure condendo alla luce della spinta innovatrice della Direttiva europea sui quadri di ristrutturazione preventiva.

Teodoro CRISCIONE - Stefano CAFFARI - Introduzione ai sistemi di credito collaborativo (maggio 2020)

La natura auto-organizzata e comunitaria dei Sistemi di Credito Collaborativo (CCS) ed il loro uso complementare al sistema economico e monetario ufficiale possono essere utilizzati per migliorare la resilienza delle comunità territoriali, in special modo durante le crisi politiche, economiche e finanziarie. La loro adozione potrebbe essere utilizzata per affrontare persino la crisi ecologica, premiando comportamenti di consumo e produzione eco-compatibili oppure fornendo uno strumento utile per gestire investimenti sostenibili community-led.

Filippetti, Cerulli (2019) Are local public services better delivered in more autonomous regions? Evidence from European regions using a dose-response approach

Does regional autonomy lead to better local public services? We investigate this issue using measures of public service performance and autonomy at the region level in 171 European regions. We introduce a novel dose-response approach which identifies the pattern of the effect of regional autonomy on the performance of public services. The relationship between the level of regional autonomy and the provision of local public services exhibits a u-shape: both low and high autonomy lead to better local public services. This speaks against the presence of one optimal level of autonomy and policy recommendations based on the view that more decentralisation is always desirable. It shows that different institutional settings can be economically viable and efficient.

Batinti, Andriani,Filippetti: Local Government Fiscal Policy, Social Capital and Electoral Payoff: Evidence across Italian Municipalities

SUMMARY

Citizens’ attitudes and reactions to policymakers’ decisions depend on several factors, including in formal institutions. The novelty of this paper is to use social capital as a moderator factor to shed light on the relationship between fiscal policies and electoral outcomes. We investigate this relationship using a sample of 6,000 Italian municipalities over the period 2003-2012 and use a Conditional Logit Matching model comparing incumbents to challengers’ characteristics within each election. We find that social capital increases the odds of the re-election of incumbent mayors who adopted a local fiscal policy more oriented towards capital investment (versus current expenditure) and towards property tax (versus income surcharge). This suggests that social capital encourages governmental functions and public policies improving long-term economic commitments, institutional transparency, and accountability. It also shows that decentralization works relatively better with social capital.
