Bank CEOs
This book thoroughly explores the characteristics and importance of bank CEOs against the backdrop of growing awareness of the social implications of CEO behavior for the performance and stability of the financial and economic system. After an introductory section on the relevance of CEOs in the banking industry, the connections between the bank CEO labor market, contractual incentives, and compensation structures are examined. The focus then turns to empirical findings concerning the impact that bank CEO compensation has on various firm-level outcomes, such as bank performance and strategies. In addition, the relation between CEO turnover and changes in compensation policies since the financial crisis is discussed. A concluding section presents some fresh empirical evidence deriving from an up-to-date database of traits of CEOs operating in the largest European banks. For PhD students and academics, the surveys offer detailed roadmaps on the empirical research landscape and provide suggestions for future work. The writing style ensures that the content will be readily accessible to all industry practitioners.
Advances in Efficiency and Productivity II
This book surveys the state-of-the-art in efficiency and productivity analysis, examining advances in the analytical foundations and empirical applications. The analytical techniques developed in this book for efficiency provide alternative ways of defining optimum outcome sets, typically as a (technical) production frontier or as an (economic) cost, revenue or profit frontier, and alternative ways of measuring efficiency relative to an appropriate frontier. Simultaneously, the analytical techniques developed for efficiency analysis extend directly to productivity analysis, thereby providing alternative methods for estimating productivity levels, and productivity change through time or produ...

Reassessing the Role of State-Owned Enterprises in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe
The Central, Eastern, and South Eastern European (CESEE) region is ripe for a reassessment of the role of the state in economic activity. The rapid income convergence with Western Europe of the early 2000s was not always equally shared across society, and it has now slowed dramatically in many countries of the region.
El silencio de las tejedoras
Un varón reivindicado y su camino hacia la presidencia de Argentina, gracias a la labor en El silencio de las tejedoras. Un hacedor, un motivador. Un varón que desteje las consecuencias del analfabetismo, que civiliza a partir de la educación y del arte. Las mujeres a su alrededor. Misioneras. Su madre, la gran tejedora que, bajo la higuera próspera y fecunda, laboraba para sostener a su familia. Hermanas. Hija. Sobrina. Nieta. Mary Mann. Juana Manso. Aurelia Vélez. Mujeres a las que Domingo Faustino Sarmiento enalteció en un contexto temporal de extremo patriarcado para que contagiaran a otras mujeres y a las personas en general; para que encontraran, en el universo del aprendizaje y del arte, el sendero hacia el progreso material y espiritual. La labor preelectoral de Mary, Juana y Aurelia fue un tejido que irguió a Sarmiento en su vocación y deseos. Como toda urdimbre, aquel telar de doña Paula fue el ejemplo que se replicó en su descendencia y en las próximas generaciones de mujeres, a través de otras tramas que profundizaron la civilización.
