Valutazione d’impatto della politica ISI-INAIL sulla sopravvivenza delle imprese
No full textNel contesto della SSL, la comprensione della prospettiva economica è particolarmente rilevante: dal punto di vista dei decisori politici, le condizioni di lavoro non sicure o non sane comportano esternalità negative relativamente ai costi che i lavoratori
e le imprese sostengono. In questo contesto, è stato valutato l'effetto del Bando ISI 2013, esclusivamente sui progetti di investimento finalizzati all’acquisto di macchinari più sicuri e/o di sostituzione macchine (in servizio antecedentemente al 1996), negli effetti indiretti generati dalla politica in termini di sopravvivenza delle imprese
Modelli a mistura finita per la valutazione delle politiche pubbliche: studio sui Bandi ISI-INAIL
No full textL’approccio seguito è orientato alla stima dei parametri della mistura di processi di Poisson per la determinazione del tasso infortunistico. Tale definizione del parametro è volta alla valutazione della politica di incentivazione ISI implementata nel 2013
La strategia di identificazione dell’impatto indaga ulteriormente il legame tra un set di variabili esplicative e la probabilità infortunistica di ogni azienda
E' possibile incentivare la sicurezza sui luoghi di lavoro? Concezione, contesto, e implementazione dei Bandi ISI Inail
No full textLa sicurezza sul lavoro è un tema sempre più al centro dell'attenzione di istituzioni, organizzazioni sindacali, ricercatori e policy makers (Shapiro, 1998; Greer, 2018; da Silva e Amaral, 2019; Liu, 2019; Schulte et al., 2019; Tassina-ri et al., 2020). In Europa, anche se attualmente, in ottica diacronica, il numero di infortuni sul lavoro mostra una tendenza decrescente, le differenze tra i Pae-si nei tassi di infortunio sul lavoro mostrano una dinamica eterogenea (Anyfantis et al., 2018; Ivascu e Cioca, 2019; Lafuente e Daza, 2019; Verra et al., 2019).
L’accresciuta rilevanza del tema è desumibile anche dalla recente risoluzio-ne proposta nella 110a conferenza dell’Organizzazione Internazionale del La-voro (ILO) che ha incluso definitivamente la sicurezza e la salute dei lavoratori (SSL) quale quinto dei suoi Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, e dall’iniziativa della Commissione Europea che ha inserito l’Occupational Safe-ty and Health (OSH) tra i 20 princìpi del pilastro europeo dei diritti sociali.
Al fine di ridurre e contrastare il rischio di infortuni sul lavoro, dal 2010 l’Istituto Nazionale per l'Assicurazione contro gli Infortuni sul Lavoro (INAIL), attraverso i Bandi ISI, esempio unico in Europa, ha promosso un sostegno diretto alle imprese (sotto forma di una sovvenzione finanziaria in con-to capitale) per la promozione di investimenti, in macchinari o modelli organizzativi, orientati a migliorare il livello di sicurezza e salute nei luoghi di lavoro
Drivers and frictions of workplace accidents: an empirical investigation of cross-country European heterogeneity
No full textThis paper presents an empirical investigation on the determinants of workplace accidents
across Europe and focuses on the extent to which production-system characteristics (employment
sectoral risk, size of firms, temporary contracts), business cycle and socio-economic factors (GDP,
level of investments, unemployment, education) and other territorial controls (crime index) might
account for cross-country heterogeneity. We use Eurostat data, and our panel is composed of 27
European countries over the period 2010-2018. Implementing, different functional forms/estimation
methodologies (pooled OLS, panel fixed and random effects models, system-GMM and
semiparametric fixed effects model), we find robust evidence that productive-system structural
characteristics, business cycle controls and the other territorial variables are effective in explaining
European cross-country heterogeneity. Moreover, we find evidence of a nonlinear relationship
between GDP and occupational accidents. Finally, in a policy implication perspective, our results
provide evidence that forms of direct financial support to SMEs investments in OSH (as implemented
in Italy with the so-called ISI initiative, launched by the National Institute for Insurance against
Accidents at Work from 2010 onwards) can represent a successful policy tool potentially applicable
to other European countries
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
SIN GOODS TAXATION: AN ENCOMPASSING MODEL
Full text linkWe analyse optimal sin taxes. After identifying the distinctive features of sin goods, we develop a simple, encompassing framework that allows to treat the main models found in the literature as subcases. We derive the optimal sin tax rates, also considering the subsidisation of healthy goods. We then discuss the Pareto-improvement result obtained in the theoretical literature, confronting it with the debate on the regressivity of this kind of taxation. We highlight the crucial role of the interaction of tastes, self-control problems and poverty when deriving policy conclusions from theoretical models
