Gendered patterns in candidates’ campaign fundraising : the case of Italy
No full textThe lack of financial resources is an often-cited hurdle for women pursuing political careers. However, empirical analysis of the dynamics of the private funding of women candidates and its potential implications for their political careers is still scant, particularly for countries outside the anglophone regions. This paper contributes to the scholarly debate by focusing on the gendered patterns in campaign fundraising in Italy, where radical changes to the party funding regime and multiple reforms to the electoral laws may have changed the structure of opportunity for fundraising by women candidates. We analyse patterns of private funding for men and women candidates in four national elections between 1996 and 2018. Our analysis, triangulated with semi-structured interviews with women candidates, shows that differences exist in fundraising patterns between male and female candidates in Italy. It reveals differences in the quality of candidates’ fundraising networks and confirms that political affiliation (to right-wing parties) and incumbency have an effect on the amount of donations received, thus granting women candidates greater access to private donations

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
The Impact of Fiscal Policies on GDP Growth in the Euro Area During the COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textWe estimate the impact of fiscal measures adopted in response to the Covid-19 crisis at the euro area level, combining standard macroeconomic data with an index on the strictness of ‘lockdown style’ policies. Given the multitude of shocks occurred simultaneously during the pandemic, the fiscal stimulus is identified together with other supply- and demand-side shocks using a sign and zero restricted Bayesian vector autoregressive (VAR) model. Our results show that during the two years 2020-2021, public spending and revenue-side measures avoided a further reduction of GDP equal to 2.8 and 0.9 percentage points, respectively

No full textThis paper focuses on how R&D investment enhances absorptive capacity by facilitating knowledge transfer in green research networks across European regions. The study takes into account potential nonlinear effects by estimating the moderating impact of R&D deciles on the elasticity of patents to the variation in regional participation in green networks over the period 2003 to 2021. The results suggest a minimum threshold level of R&D investment for regions to benefit from participation in green networks and nonlinear increasing synergies between R&D spending and network participation. Since firms may struggle to reach the necessary critical threshold for R&D, public support for R&D can significantly amplify the effectiveness of network-focused policies
