This study investigates the impact of outsourcing on the financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria over the period 2013-2018, while adopting a panel research design. The sample of the study covers the commercial banks with international authorization in Nigeria. These eight commercial banks represent the tier one banks. This set of commercial banks continue to grow in customer deposits, branch spread and loan issuance. They are considered to be the strongest banks. Financial performance was captured by using profit before tax, profit after tax and earnings per share as proxies, while the independent variable-outsourcing was denominated by the annual expenditure on outsourcing. All data was collected from the companies' annual reports. The models were estimated using the Pooled Ordinary Least Squares method. The stata software was used in model estimation. Results from this study generally indicate that outsourcing has a positive impact on all the measures of financial performance. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend that outsourcing can contribute more to performance, if companies manage the outsourcing process better and involve the employees in the decision.

“…Companies that outsourced their intermediates inputs can reach higher profits than those that do not. Additionally, relocating their stages of production can be pointed out as a technique of attaining cost reductions and accessing technical expertise which cannot be obtained in a home country (Calia & Pacei 2017;Dean et al 2017;Gӧrg & Hanley 2005;Kar & Dutta 2018).…”

This study investigates the impact of foreign direct investment and export expansion on firm performance. Using firmlevel data from the Indonesian high-tech manufacturing industry, we employ stochastic frontier analysis to determine firm efficiency. Our study provides evidence of negative backward and positive forward FDI spillovers on firms' efficiency level. The results further show that foreign firms in the high-tech manufacturing industry are more efficient than local firms. Furthermore, a greater degree of fragmented trade integration is related to better performance among firm in the high-tech manufacturing industry. This indicates the significance of the production of component goods relative to the finished goods. In terms of the policy, the authority might need to consider whether the existence of FDI benefits local producers beyond promoting trading of component goods of the high-tech manufacturing industry.

“…It is noteworthy the case of the area inhabited by the German minority in Italy; in this province the Italian state has maintained the existence of the Maso Chiuso, a family farm comprehensive of land and house. 19 Good practices of diversification of farming have been first experienced in this tiny part of Italy, starting for instance the farm to become agritourism long before that such activity would been allowed in the rest of the country.…”

“…Integration is considered an asset for a balanced economic and cultural growth. 19 Only one child of the family gets the farm by inheritance while the other children have the right to compensation; this system has assured the presence of people also in the areas that otherwise would have been abandoned. 20 Italian, German, Ladino.…”

After the Second World War, the economic development of Italy has profoundly changed the use of land. The paper investigates economic and regulatory implications of land withdrawal in Italy and the nexus with internal and external migration. The dualistic character of Italian economic development induced, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, huge migration flows from southern regions to the North, with strong repercussions in terms of abandonment of farmland and urban congestion. In recent times, in the light of increasing pressures from globalization, a revival of internal migration flows from the South to the North has occurred in Italy, but with different characteristics and implications with respect to the past. The interaction between internal mobility and external immigration (a new phenomenon for Italy, traditionally an emigration country) entails possible economic contra-indications but also new opportunities for rural development.
