I fattori determinanti dell'export di vino secondo il modello gravitazionale: un'applicazione alle principali destinazioni mondiali
Full text linkInternational wine trade has gained a great importance during years, specially for our country, and there’s a raising interest in the study of its structure, functioning and the forces that govern it.
In this work international wine export has been studied with a gravity model - an econometrical model with an increasing importance and acceptance among scientist - for the explication of transactional phenomenal. The study concerned bilateral trade of twelve of the main wine markets, both importers and exporters, from 1997 until 2010, utilizing a proper panel data for still and sparkling wine.
According to previous works found in literature regarding gravity wines, in addition to the classical model estimation, it has been proposed an expanded model in order to obtain more accurate results. This expanded model include more variables than those traditionally included in literature (distance and GDP) like exchange rate and wine production of exporting country, language and trade barriers.
The hypothesis that lead to variables election is tied to them growing importance in the economic policy intervention at international level, in particular in the market regulation of good and inside the WTO. In practice, the aim was to evaluate if these variables have a great impact also in the case of wine market.
Results leads to believe that wine export are strongly conditioned by the income level of the importing country, while distance, even having a negative impact, doesn’t seem to have the same importance found in another goods. When countries have the same official language the model show a trade growth of more than twice, and also exporter exchange rate has a significant effect, with an increasing export when exporter currency devaluate.
In order to better evaluate the role of trade barriers, that has growing relevance for alimentary goods and especially for wine, tariff and non tariff barriers have been taken into account. In addition, non tariff barriers have been divided into technical barriers and sanitary – phytosanitary barriers. The study has highlighted how sparkling wine, despite having higher duties levels on average, is less affected to tariffs applied by importing country, and seem to have a behavior more similar to luxury goods ones.
Technical barriers seem to penalize mainly still bottled wine, while for sanitary and phytosanitary measures there isn’t any effect with statistical significance.
In the light of WTO negotiate, the study seems to validate the importance of reducing effects of tariff and technical barriers to trade, especially for still bottled win
Filosofare e Giocare. La dimensione ludica nella e della Philosophy for Children
No full textQuando pensiamo ad attività rivolte ai bambini siamo inevitabilmente portati a prendere in
considerazione il gioco. Il gioco è infatti una delle attività più spontanee per un bambino, ciò che
più gli è familiare. Tuttavia esso non è solo un passatempo o un modo come un altro per divertirsi.
Il giocare è soprattutto una delle sue principali forme di apprendimento. In sostanza possiamo dire
che il gioco diventa lo strumento privilegiato di cui dispone il bambino per esplorare il mondo.
Cosa accade allora quando ci proponiamo di fare filosofia con i bambini? Quale ruolo assume la
dimensione ludica? Possiamo fare filosofia giocando? Prendendo in analisi il caso specifico della
Philosophy for Children, Lipman non ha teorizzato e messo a tema il ruolo del gioco all’interno del
suo curricolo, ma lo si può evincere chiaramente da una lettura attenta e mirata dei materiali scritti
dal nostro autore. Lo stesso vale per la letteratura secondaria: sembra che l’elemento “gioco” sia
presente in maniera implicita, assumendone le dimensioni fondamentali, ma che non sia mai stato
tematizzato. Questo lavoro è proprio un tentativo di rendere esplicita la valenza dell’attività ludica
nella Philosophy for Children
Insights on the alleged imitation of prosecco wine name: The case of the German market
Full text linkProminent on the agenda in recent times has been the question of the widespread use of alleged imitations of Prosecco name on wine bottles sold in Germany. This question has attracted even the interest of Italian producers lately, who denounce the evoking effect of such name imitations of the original PDO wine. This paper examines the impact of some product characteristics and those related to the purchasing place on wine price, applying a hedonic price model to homescan data related to the German market in 2013. Findings suggest that the alleged name
imitation has a premium price, thus getting a free ride on brand reputation at the expense of the original Italian wine
Understanding consumption choice of Prosecco wine. An empirical analysis using Italian and German Homescan data.
No full textProsecco is a sparkling or semi-sparkling white wine produced in the north east of Italy. Due
to the great success this wine has had in the last years, in 2009 the production technical policy
was reformed to allow an increase of supply. As a consequence of the reform, the production
area was expanded and a double categorization of Prosecco was introduced. The traditional
production area gained the DOCG classification (previously it was DOC), which corresponds
to the highest quality level for an Italian wine, while the DOC classification was designated to
the new production area. At this stage two considerations have to be made: firstly, DOC
Prosecco bought by consumers after 2009 was not the same product they had been used to
buy before. Secondly, outside Italy, both DOCG and DOC wines are categorized as PDO
wine. The question that naturally arises is if consumers (both Italians and non) are now able to
recognize the difference between these two apparently identical wines. We addressed this
issue through an empirical analysis of Homescan Panel data in the Italian and German
markets, using a Heckman probit model. Our results suggest that Prosecco sparkling wine is
perceived as a product of medium-high level, and is preferably purchased by households that
tend to buy wines with a higher unit price. On the other hand, consumers that more appreciate
sparkling wine did not show any preference towards one type or the other, suggesting that
they still do not completely understand the difference between these two wines
