No full textOn the economic valuation of cultural ecosystem services: A tale of myths, vine and wine
No full textThe paper proposes a qualitative valuation method for cultural ecosystem services (CES) based on the analysis of myths, which are interpreted as returns generated by the interaction between natural and human capital (in time and space). Those returns become investments that add up, contribute to form, eventually become, and are accounted as cultural capital. The myths, therefore, are CES indicators (of the time and place where and when they were produced) and can be interpreted as measures of the CES flows. Moreover, some myths eventually survive and add up to a society present cultural capital that produces both cultural and economic value. In this perspective, the methodology aims at scrutinizing the content of the myths in terms of (1) socio-economic milieu and ecosystems that have produced the myth, (2) main messages displayed by the myth (3) key identification elements of the myths and (4) influence and bequest in cultural capital and culture formation and current cultural attitude towards the ecosystem service. This allows to qualitatively analyse the features, the rates of depletion and accumulation of the cultural capital, eventually produced by ecosystems. The methodology is applied to the cultural services provided by vine and wine. We analyse myths from 5000 b.C to 100 a.C., told in the fertile Triangle of the Vine (Eurasia, including India) to the Mediterranean basin. Results show that myths are an expression of human and natural capital of the time and space, when and where they were generated. However, they convey cultural values, related to the vine and wine, that are still existing and can be identified and accounted as cultural capital. In this perspective, the CES, through the myths, tell a story of small prehistoric wild vine shoots that were able to create long-lasting civility and culture still affecting several dimensions of current cultural capital, like attitude to wine consumptions, figurative arts, intellectual thinking, among selected aspects

Full text linkThis paper aims at understanding what affects farmers’ choices to buy insuranceagainst biotic threats. Using a survey-based dataset with 1187 observations on Veneto wine grapes farms, we regress a probit model with endogenous variables with a maximum likelihood (ML) routine. The results corroborate the microeconomic theory according to which risk-adverse individuals are more propense to insure. In our framework, the farmers’ socioeconomic characteristics are treated as endogenous variables, which exist/are predetermined before the choice to insure (or not). This paper discusses the results in a policy perspective
The international wine trade: Recent trends and critical issues
No full textThis paper aims to contribute to the understanding of international wine trade complexities,
focusing on the period 2000-2011. Since 2000 the wine trade has grown significantly and its structure
has experienced major changes. Such changes are shaping the current competitive scenario of the wine
market and are the base elements for its future development.
The paper analyses the growth of world wine imports, considering all wines together and the single
categories recognized by global statistics (bottled, bulk and sparkling wine). It then describes the
changes in the geography of importers with the emergence of new markets and the competitive
performance of the main suppliers. The bulk wine trade, the re-export of wine and the exposure of
trade flows to trade barriers are also analysed in detail. Finally, on the basis of the dominant trend in
wine consumption and changes in the supply chain, the critical issues arising from analysis are
examined, with the need for further research being underline
