Politiche fiscali locali e la costruzione della città pubblica
No full textThe study determines the activities undertaken by Italian municipal administrations during the period 2000-2012 by issuing new building permits, collecting real estate taxes and the revenue from issue of building permits, and, finally, constructing urbanization works related to the urban expansion for residential purposes or for non-agricultural production activities. The study thus verifies how fiscal policies implemented in Italy at local level have affected, also during much of the «great recession» (i) the expansion of urban areas in Italy and (ii) the realisation of their public infrastructures
La popolazione non residente nelle maggiori aree urbane e metropolitane italiane: i risultati di una verifica empirica circa le implicazioni per i bilanci dei Comuni coinvolti
No full textSi illustrano i risultati finali di una ricerca condotta sui bilanci di alcune decine di Comuni che sono coinvolti dal fenomeno del pendolarismo all'interno delle maggiori aree urbane e metropolitane italiane. Ne emerge che, sebbene risulti confermata la tesi sostenuta in letteratura secondo cui sono i comuni centrali a sostenere i costi maggiori, anche alcuni comuni periferici sostengono costi per mantenere la popolazione non residente presente al loro interno. Si tratta per lo più di comuni che tendono a specializzarsi nello svolgimento di specifiche funzioni diverse da quelle residenziali, in quanto destinatari di un decentramento di attività produttive (industriali e terziarie)
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
Criminal Justice Act of 1964; State Malpractice Suit Against Appointed Counsel; Ferri v. Ackerman
Full text linkThe United States Supreme Court in Ferri v. Ackerman reversed the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and held that an attorney appointed by a federal judge to represent an indigent defendant in a federal criminal trial is not, as a matter of federal law, entitled to absolute immunity in a state malpractice suit brought against him by his former client. In a unanimous opinion, the Court decided that the function of appointed counsel is more closely analogous to that of private retained counsel, who enjoy no immunity from malpractice prosecution than to that of judges and prosecutors who have traditionally been accorded immunity at common law
The higher educated, the lower paid: the fixed-term wage penalty within highly educated workers in Italy
No full textThis paper explores the temporary-permanent wage gap experienced by Italian graduate workers. To evaluate the wage gap along the entire wage distribution and account for heterogeneous effects of temporary employment, we apply the Recentered Influence Function (RIF) regression approach. The results suggest that the monthly net wage earned by Italian highly educated workers having a temporary contract is lower than that of their ‘permanent’ counterparts even after controlling for a plethora of individual and job characteristics. More than 50% of the wage gap is due to unobserved characteristics. The field of study, more than the location of the University, explains this discrimination effect due to contractual arrangement. Although the latter is verified along the entire distribution, major effects arise among high-paid and low-paid jobs depicting a U-shape pattern. Results are robust to self-selection, endogeneity, and gender controls
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
