In the mood for redistribution. An empirical analysis of individual preferences for redistribution in Italy
Over the past few years a large body of literature has studied the determinants of individual preferences for income equality and redistributive policies. In this paper, using data from the World Values Survey (WVS), we specifically focus on the preferences expressed by Italians and analyse their determinants. We verify a number of factors, usually found to impact individual attitudes towards equality and redistribution, and demonstrate that self-interest evaluations, together with the personal system of beliefs, do influence this kind of personal attitudes. The results also seem to suggest that living in a specific regional context may play a significant role in conditioning personal attitudes

Administrative Change in the EU: a Cross-Country Empirical Study on the Contextual Determinants of NPM Reform Rhetoric
Framed within the paradigm of New Public Management (NPM),
structural reforms in the EU aimed at modernizing the public administrations of
Member States (MSs) have long since been a priority area of the EU’s economic policy.
Since the 1990s, these reforms have been sharply intensified across European countries
with the declared purpose of enhancing economy, efficiency and effectiveness in their
national public sectors’ organizations. In line with the European Commission’s recent
research initiatives in search for novel quantitative data on NPM in the EU, this paper
studies European parties’ NPM reform rhetoric. More specifically, it investigates the
MSs’ institutional, economic and political context within which parties have declared
their intention of reforming national administrative systems. Thus, it sheds light on the
MSs’ domestic factors that are associated with the diffusion of the NPM values across
the political discourse of EU’s national parties
