ESSAYS ON ORGANIZED CRIME, PERCEIVED INSECURITY, AND MOBILITY IN ITALY

THIS DISSERTATION INVESTIGATES THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF BOTH ORGANIZED AND NON-ORGANIZED CRIME IN ITALY THROUGH FOUR SELF-CONTAINED EMPIRICAL ESSAYS. THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF MAFIA-TYPE ORGANIZATIONS ON LOCAL ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE. CHAPTER 1 DEVELOPS A PROVINCIAL “MAFIA INDEX” TO QUANTIFY CRIMINAL INFILTRATION AND ESTIMATES ITS HETEROGENEOUS EFFECTS ON INNOVATION ACROSS ITALY. CHAPTER 2 ANALYZES THE LOCAL SPILLOVERS OF ANTI-MAFIA JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION, DOCUMENTING THE...

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP: THEORY AND EVIDENCE FOR INTERNATIONAL DATA IN THE CONTEXT OF BANK DIVERSITY

MY PHD THESIS EXAMINES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON BANKING DIVERSITY AND THE DIFFERENT ROLES PLAYED BY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (I.E. COOPERATIVES AND NON-COOPERATIVES) IN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXTS. THE THREE CHAPTERS THAT MAKE UP THE PHD THESIS COMBINE AN ADVANCED EMPIRICAL TECHNIQUE WITH A THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE. THE FIRST CHAPTER RECONSTRUCTS THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM, WITH SPECIFIC EMPHASIS TO THE CO...

A NEW INSTITUTIONAL PARADIGM: A MULTI-LEVEL ANALYSIS OF BLOCKCHAIN, INCENTIVES, AND COORDINATION IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

THIS DISSERTATION INVESTIGATES WHETHER BLOCKCHAIN CAN BE MEANINGFULLY CONCEPTUALIZED AS AN INSTITUTIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND HOW SUCH A PERSPECTIVE MAY HELP EXPLAIN ITS EVOLVING ROLE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. WHILE BLOCKCHAIN IS OFTEN PROMOTED FOR ITS POTENTIAL TO ENHANCE TRANSPARENCY, EFFICIENCY, AND TRUST IN GOVERNMENT SERVICES, LARGE-SCALE ADOPTION IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR REMAINS LIMITED, SUGGESTING THAT TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION ALONE MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO DRIVE TRANSFORMATION. DRAWING ON INSIGHTS ...

LIQUIDITY, SIZE, AND REGULATORY DESIGN IN BANKING: CONSOLIDATION DYNAMICS AND PERFORMANCE UNDER BASEL III

THIS DISSERTATION EXAMINES HOW LIQUIDITY AND SIZE SHAPE BANKS’ RESPONSES TO TWO DEFINING POST-CRISIS FORCES: MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS (M&A) AND REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY UNDER BASEL III. STUDY 1 SHOWS THAT STRONGER LIQUIDITY AND LARGER SIZE RAISE THE LIKELIHOOD OF ACQUISITION, AS EXPECTED. YET PARADOXICALLY, THE WEAKEST LIQUIDITY GROUP—LARGE–RED BANKS—ARE THE MOST ACQUISITIVE. THIS SUGGESTS THAT SCALE CAN OVERRIDE REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS, ENABLING FRAGILE INSTITUTIONS TO EXPAND MOST AGGRESSIVELY...

ON COMBINATORIAL STRUCTURES ARISING IN GROUP THEORY

THIS THESIS EXPLORES TWO CENTRAL THEMES IN CONTEMPORARY GROUP THEORY. THE FIRST CONCERNS GRAPHS NATURALLY ARISING FROM GROUPS, SHOWING HOW THEIR COMBINATORIAL FEATURES CAN ILLUMINATE SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS OF THE GROUP’S ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURE. THE SECOND ADDRESSES EMBEDDING PROBLEMS, WITH A FOCUS ON VERBAL SUBGROUPS AND SUBGROUPS DEFINED BY COMMUTATOR CONDITIONS, HIGHLIGHTING HOW SUCH EMBEDDINGS REFLECT DEEPER STRUCTURAL CONSTRAINTS. TOGETHER, THESE PERSPECTIVES ILLUSTRATE THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN CO...
