No full textLa presente indagine prende le mosse dalle declamazioni di principio della Cassazione contenute nella sentenza delle Sezioni Unite n. 17244 del 2022 i cui passaggi argomentativi suscitano non poche perplessità. In particolare, la Corte ha affermato che «Il difetto di giurisdizione del giudice italiano, in conseguenza di una clausola compromissoria per arbitrato estero, non è rilevabile d’ufficio [ai sensi dell’art. 11 della l. n. 218/1995] stante l’imprescindibile carattere volontario dell’arbitrato»: tale conclusione – prima facie risolutiva di una vexata quaestio della giustizia arbitrale – risulta non proprio linearmente persuasiva, ponendosi in aperto contrasto con il principio processualcivilistico della rilevabilità ex officio di tutte le eccezioni di rito. Di qui la necessità di ripercorrere sul piano della teoria generale, eppure empiricamente orientata all’arbitrato internazionale, le premesse di questa innovativa quanto ‘fragile’ sentenza al fine di comprendere – facendo sponda sull’anamnesi di Thomas S. Kuhn e sulla sua idea di ‘rompicapo’ – a quale logica giuridica debba sottendere il regime processuale dell’exceptio compromissi per arbitrato estero

No full textIl presente contributo si propone di evidenziare, alla luce dei recenti approdi giurisprudenziali, i profili critici della legittimazione ad agire degli enti esponenziali in materia ambientale, nella prospettiva di sondare – anche sulla scorta di un’analisi comparativa – i possibili percorsi interpretativi che rendano compatibile tale condizione dell’azione con i principi, di matrice costituzionale ed eurounitaria, di effettività della tutela giurisdizionale
Sustaining Cooperation Through Strategic Self-Interested Actions
No full textThis paper studies how organizations seek to promote cooperation between their members when individual contributions to an organization’s output are imperfectly observable. It considers an overlapping-generations game in which members with conflicting interests expend effort in pursuing activities outside the organization, in addition to the effort they devote to increasing the organization’s output. We show that cooperation is easier to enforce when organizations link rewards and punishments to effort in outside activities. In the best public perfect equilibrium, effort in outside activities is distorted in order to signal a member’s willingness to cooperate inside the organization
Compliance Technology and Self-Enforcing Agreements
Full text linkWe analyze a repeated game in which countries are polluting as well as investing in technologies. While folk theorems point out that the first best can be sustained as a subgame-perfect equilibrium when the players are sufficiently patient, we derive the second best equilibrium when they are not. This equilibrium is distorted in that countries over-invest in technologies that are “green” (i.e., strategic substitutes for polluting) but under-invest in adaptation and “brown” technologies (i.e., strategic complements to polluting). It is in particular countries which are small or benefit little from cooperation that will be required to strategically invest in this way. With imperfect monitoring or uncertainty, such strategic investments reduce the need for a long, costly punishment phase and the probability that punishment will be triggered
Public Education and Pensions in Democracy: A Political Economy Theory
No full textA dynamic political economy theory of fiscal policy is presented to explain the simultaneous existence of public education and pensions in modern democracies. The driving force of the model is the intergenerational conflict over the allocation of the public budget. Successive generations of voters choose fiscal policies through re- peated elections. The political power of elderly voters creates the motive for adults to support public investment in the human capital of future generations since it expands future pension possibilities. We characterize the Markov perfect equilibrium of the voting game in a small open economy. The equilibrium reproduces salient features of intergenerational fiscal policies in modern economies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
