Ancora sui prestiti armeni nei dialetti romani
No full textRiprendendo un filone di ricerca già da lui coltivato, l’autore discute alcuni possibili prestiti armeni nella romani, di cui non ha avuto modo di trattare in precedenza. Come sempre, il dato linguistico è utilizzato anche per stabilire l’epoca in cui sarebbe avvenuto il contatto fra i parlanti delle due lingue
La Livorno degli Armeni. Livorno e la Toscana in alcune fonti armene dei secoli XVI e XVII
No full textA cominciare dalla fine del cinquecento, e soprattutto nei due secoli successivi, Livorno ha ospitato una colonia armena notevolmente attiva, come dimostrano tra l’altro le due tipografie armene impiantate nella città nel corso del XVII secolo. L’articolo tratta delle notizie relative a Livorno, e più genericamente alla Toscana, reperibili nei diari di viaggiatori armeni, mercanti in attività di servizio o pellegrini diretti a Roma che, in questo periodo di tempo, si sono trovati ad attraversare o costeggiare l’Italia. Accenna poi alla storia delle suddette due tipografie e si conclude con una sezione dedicata alle grammatiche ed ai dizionari dell’italiano, ad uso dei viaggiatori, che, nel lasso di tempo considerato, vengono date alle stampe

The simultaneous effects of pharmaceutical policies from payers’ and patients’ perspectives: Italy as a case study
No full textObjectives: This paper aims at covering a literature gap on the effects of copayments, prescription quotas and therapeutic reference pricing on public and private expenditures and volumes (1) When these policies are implemented in different areas at different times, (2) estimating their impact in the short and long run, (3) assessing the extent to which these impacts are interdependent, (4) scrutinising the extent to which the effects are mediated by prescribers’ and patients’ behaviours. Methods: Monthly regional data on pharmaceutical expenditures, volumes and policies in Italy from 2000 to 2014 are analysed using a difference-in-differences model enriched to capture short- versus long-term effects and simultaneous and interactive effects. Sobel–Goodman test and bootstrap analyses were used to test for mediation. Results: The three policies have different short- and long-run effects. Interactions support the hypothesis of reinforcing effects. Behavioural reactions to policies such as reducing the demand or total per capita expenditures mediate the impact of policies, thus explaining the different effects between the short and long term. Conclusions: Evidence on the impact over time of regional policies diversely introduced in different times have important policy implications. First, pharmaceutical policies interact with each other, and the combined effect may be different from what we would expect from the sum of each single policy. Hence, policymakers should be very careful in designing mixed policies for their unexpected combined effects. Second, the impact of policies tends to reduce over time. If longer-term impact is desired, it would be appropriate to introduce some adjustments over time. Third, policies have multiple effects, and this should be considered when they are designed. Finally, pharmaceutical policies may have an unintended impact on health and health care
Variations in non-prescription drug consumption and expenditure: determinants and policy implications
No full textThis paper analyses the determinants of cross-regional variations in expenditure and consumption for non-prescription drugs using the Italian Health Care Service as a case study. This research question has never been posed in other literature contributions. Per capita income, the incidence of elderly people, the presence of distribution points alternative to community pharmacies (para-pharmacies and drug corners in supermarkets), and the disease prevalence were included as possible explanatory variables. A trade-off between consumption of non-prescription and prescription-only drugs was also investigated. Correlation was tested through linear regression models with regional fixed-effects. Demand-driven variables, including the prevalence of the target diseases and income, were found to be more influential than supply-side variables, such as the presence of alternative distribution points. Hence, the consumption of non-prescription drugs appears to respond to needs and is not induced by the supply. The expected trade-off between consumption for prescription-only and non-prescription drugs was not empirically found: increasing the use of non-prescription drugs did not automatically imply savings on prescription-only drugs covered by third payers. Despite some caveats (the short period of time covered by the longitudinal data and some missing monthly data), the regression model revealed a high explanatory power of the variability and a strong predictive ability of future values
