Decomposing productivity differential: evidence from foreign owned and domestic firms in Italy
No full textUsing the idea of the multidimensional generalization of the Duncans’ index (Silber 1992), the productivity per worker differential across groups of firms can be decomposed into different components attributed to differences in: sectoral productivity, investment in human and physical capital, employment and other determinants. More specifically, for decomposing group productivity differential we propose an Oaxaca’s decomposition – based approach which assumes a Reimer’s weighting scheme An application of the decomposing method aimed at evaluating productivity differences across foreign owned and domestic firms in Italy is also provided
Il re del Neapolitan Power. Willy David racconta l’epoca d’oro del pop partenopeo
No full textIl contributo è parte di un insieme più vasto di interviste che qui presentiamo, e costituisce l’esito di una approfondita fase di analisi e di indagine sviluppata, in chiave qualitativa, sull’industria culturale a Napoli, dipanatasi tra gli anni 2007 e 2008, che fu affiancata a segmenti di ricerca a carattere teorico e quantitativo.
Questa parte dell’inchiesta, fu condotta realizzando interviste in profondità e semi-strutturate, rilasciate da alcuni esperti dei diversi settori, fra i più rappresentativi dell’industria culturale partenopea.
Nello specifico questo contributo rielabora, in forma narrativa, la vicenda di una delle personalità più di spicco dell’impresa culturale partenopea, ovvero Willy David, importante produttore musicale, “mente” dei migliori dischi del “Neapolitan Power” e non solo, romagnolo di origine e napoletano di adozione
How do firms combine different internationalisation modes? A multivariate probit approach
No full textMost of the literature on the relationship between firm’s participation in international markets and firm heterogeneity focuses on export and foreign direct investment. This paper considers a wider range of forms of internationalisation that firms could combine into different patterns. With the purpose of analysing the selection of heterogeneous firms into different internationalisation patterns, we jointly model the decisions on the forms of internationalisation through a multivariate probit. This model allows us to avoid any a priori assumption about the firm’s behaviour. In this context we study the complementarity/substitutability relationships between forms of internationalisation. The results obtained show that: i) neglecting some forms could lead to an incomplete representation about the firm’s internationalisation strategy, ii) different firm’s characteristics influence the choice of internationalisation pattern, i.e. some types of firm are more prone to choosing one type of process over another, iii) complementarity between forms of internationalisation seems to be preferred over substitution, but some heterogeneity also arises in this context

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Decomposing productivity differential among groups of firms: a novel inequality decomposition
No full textUsing the idea of the multidimensional generalization of the Duncans’ index (Silber 1992), the
productivity per worker differentials across groups of firms can be decomposed into different components
attributed to differences in: sectoral productivity, investment in human and physical capital, size and other
determinants. More specifically, for decomposing group productivity differentials we propose an Oaxaca’s
decomposition – based approach which assumes a Reimer’s weighting scheme. An application of the
decomposing method aimed at evaluating productivity differences across foreign owned and domestic firms
in the Italian manufacturing sector is also provided
