Regional Distribution of Ipos and Growth: an Empirical Analysis

This paper analyses if the proximity to financial centres affects costs and benefits to go public. First was tested, in the Italian case, the hypothesis that distance has a negative effect on the decision of a firm to go public. To this aim, we have compared firms which decided, during 1995-2004 period, to list to the Italian stock exchange with those not listed despite meeting the listing requ...

Unobserved Heterogeneity in Income Dynamics: An Empirical Bayes Perspective

Abstract. Empirical Bayes methods for Gaussian compound decision problems involving longitudinal data are considered. The new convex optimization formulation of the nonparametric (Kiefer-Wolfowitz) maximum likelihood estimator for mixture models is employed to construct nonparametric Bayes rules for compound decisions. The methods are first illustrated with some simulation examples and then wit...

Democracy and Income Inequality: an Empirical Analysis

While standard political economy theories suggest a moderating effect of democratization on income inequality, empirical literature has failed to uncover any such robust relationship. Here we take yet another look at this issue arguing first, that prevailing ideology may be an important determinant of inequality and, second, that the democratization effect “works through” ideology. In societies...

H2S: an Endogenous Gas

Gases such as NO and CO play important roles both in normal physiology and in disease. In recent years, interest has been directed towards other naturally occurring gases, notably H 2 S, which is produced in body by three enzymes namely CBS (cystathionine beta synthase), CSE (cystathionine gamma lyase) and MST (3-Mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase), present in mitochondria and/or cytosols where...
