Can we shape social innovation-based urban policy? Reflections on the fondo per l'innovazione sociale strategy in Milan
No full textll presente contributo si prefigge di concettualizzare il design di una politica urbana che incorpora approcci basati sull’innovazione sociale in tutte le sue fasi. Questa concettualizzazione verrà applicata nell’analisi di un caso studio: l’Acceleratore per l’economia di territorio, un progetto promosso dal Comune di Milano in collaborazione con un gruppo di partner locali, inquadrato all’interno del programma nazionale Fondo per l’innovazione sociale. Il progetto è stato pensato per sostenere un programma di accelerazione per le imprese locali, realizzato con l’obiettivo di sostenere l’imprenditorialità, le competenze e la creazione di opportunità di lavoro nelle aree periferiche della città di Milano. Una risposta messa in atto dal Comune di Milano per sostenere questi obiettivi in contesti di marginalità urbana osservati nella prospettiva storica della crisi economica generata dalla pandemia da Covid-19. L’ipotesi che l’articolo intende verificare è se l’innovazione sociale possa rappresentare non solo il contenuto ma anche un metodo per il design di una politica urbana: attraverso l’acquisizione di conoscenze disperse dei target di riferimento e tramite processi di intelligenza collettiva, ridefinendo in questo modo l’interpretazione dei bisogni sociali e conseguentemente la proposta di soluzioni condivise.The article aims to conceptualise an urban policy cycle that incorporates the social and territorial innovation approach in all its phases. This conceptualisation will be supported by a case study analysis, the “Accelerator for the local economy”, an urban policy promoted by the Municipality of Milan in cooperation with a group of local partners, and included in the governmental framework of the Fondo per l’innovazione sociale (Social Innovation Fund). The project under consideration has been designed to support an “acceleration programme for local businesses”, implemented with a view to improving entrepreneurship, skills, and the creation of job opportunities in peripheral areas – a response from the Milan municipal administration to tackle urban marginality issues and the ongoing economic crisis resulting from the harmful effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The hypothesis to be tested is whether social and territorial innovation can be not only the content, but also the method for creating a territorial development policy, by acquiring the dispersed knowledge of actors and targets, by triggering collective intelligence processes in the redefinition of social needs, and by tabling shared solutions among stakeholders
The 2013 update of the OECD's database on product market regulation: POLICY INSIGHTS FOR OECD AND NON-OECD COUNTRIES
Full text linkThis paper investigates patterns in product market regulation across 34 OECD and 21 non-OECD countries, using an updated and revised version of the OECD’s indicators of product market regulation (PMR). The analysis shows that liberalisation of product markets has further slowed over the past five years. However, even though there was little progress on average in the OECD over this period, a number of OECD countries implemented sizable reforms, often in an attempt to boost economic growth in wake of the economic crisis. On average across the OECD, countries have made particular progress in abolishing price controls or improving their design, streamlining administrative procedures for start-ups, simplifying rules and procedures or improving access to information about regulations. Room for further improvements is the largest in the areas of public ownership and the governance of state-owned enterprises as well as with respect to barriers to competition in network and services sectors
L’innovazione sociale nelle politiche urbane. Un caso studio nel contesto italiano
No full textIl contributo analizza i caratteri di una politica urbana che applica e incorpora concetti e approcci tipici dell’innovazione sociale. Con questo obiettivo, esamina un caso studio, ‘Un acceleratore per l’economia di territorio’, promosso dal comune di Milano con una serie di partner locali e inserito nel framework governativo del Fondo per l’innovazione sociale (fis). Il progetto per la creazione di ‘economie di prossimità’ sarà realizzato combinando strumenti finanziari a impatto sociale e percorsi di accelerazione per lavoro e impresa nelle aree periferiche. L’ipotesi che si vuole qui verificare è se l’innovazione sociale possa essere non solo il contenuto, ma anche il metodo di una politica place-based di sviluppo territoriale: acquisendo conoscenza dispersa, innescando processi di intelligenza collettiva nella ridefinizione dei bisogni sociali e proponendo soluzioni condivise dall’interesse di più attori
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
