    Contro la "tirannia dei mercati finanziari": la Tobin tax e il controllo dei movimenti di capitale

    No full text
    Nelle intenzioni del suo ideatore, i propositi principali di una Tobin tax dovrebbero consistere nella disincentivazione delle transazioni valutarie a breve termine e nell'accrescere i margini di manovra della politica monetaria. Per Tobin era invece da ritenersi secondario l'obiettivo di trarre gettito dalle transazioni realizzate. In ciò verte lo iato tra la proposta originaria del premio Nobel e la sua traduzione in ambito politico

    Introduction: The theoretical legacy of Augusto Graziani

    No full text
    Augusto Graziani (1933 2014) was one of the most eminent Italian economists of the twentieth century. He is internationally known as the founding father of the theory of monetary circuit. His contributions to economic theory went beyond the circuit, especially in the early part of his career. They included both other theoretical areas (for example, a critical review of Walras s general equilibrium model) and the analysis of the uneven development of the Italian economy. Even his approach to circuitism was quite original and cannot be reduced to a special branch of post-Keynesianism. This introduction to the symposium on The Economics of Augusto Graziani highlights some key points of his heretical thinking, and gives a quick summary of the papers that follow

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
