This paper surveys existing explanations for the pervasive use of collateral in credit markets and relates them to empirical evidence on subject.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are exposed to biological hazards on a daily basis. The aim of the present study was evaluate risks infection after occupational exposure blood or body fluids among HCWs operating in period 2013-2014, university hospital Southern Italy. frequency accidents during 2-year always lower than 5%. In 2013, 103 cases occurred; 2014, number injuries had significantly decreased (n = 60). an anti-hepatitis B surface antigen protective titer only found 70% cases; subjects with...
Focusing on shareholder value (SHV) maximising banks vs. stakeholder (STV) banks, we ask: Why do they coexist? What does the recent crisis suggest for their respective sustainability? On first, conclude STVs – often cooperatives, catering also parties other than shareholders may superiorly manage conflict of interests between depositors and bank owners strengthen borrowers' screening/monitoring. Accordingly, should specialise in traditional intermediation, SHV financial innovations. Next,...
Usury law is often criticized by economists for curtailing lending and thus creating deadweight costs. This paper shows that if moral hazard leads to credit rationing, a just‐binding usury creates gain. property also holds in most market‐clearing equilibria. Independent of social insurance benefits, or curbing present‐biased preferences, interest rate caps have merit.
The study of the spectral features volcanic tremor and low frequency events (l.f.e.) recorded before during preliminary phases powerful 1991-1993 eruption Mt. Etna is briefly described. Significant modifications were observed in signature l.f.e. onset eruptive event, as well temporal distribution dominant frequencies. We interpret both changes terms a spatial modification source, paroxysmal activity approaching. Such findings also appear quite interesting for identification markers which...
In recent years a considerable amount of attention has been devoted to the administrative costs regulation for business and their effects on growth. This paper examines methodology evaluation these burdens, that is rapidly becoming most used across Europe, Standard Cost Model.

This paper investigates the impact of heterogeneous wealth on credit allocation from an egalitarian opportunity and efficiency point view. Under asymmetric information both responsibility variable there is no trade-off between equality efficiency, actually inequality delivers inefficiency. Due to decreasing absolute risk aversion, poor entrepreneurs, other things equal, realize better projects. notwithstanding, due bidimensional hidden information, they may be rationed out or obtain a loan...
Coronary stent implantation is associated with improved angiographic short-term and mid-term clinical outcome. However, restenosis rate still remains between 20 30%.The purpose of the study, performed as a prospective follow-up to detect restenosis, was evaluate immediate 6-month results repeat balloon angioplasty for in-stent restenosis.From April 1996 September 1997, 335 stenting procedures in 327 patients underwent prospectively control angiography. Of 96 lesions that showed (> 50%...
