European Institute of Innovation and Technology grants as a ‘mission-oriented’ policy: a preliminary quantitative analysis for the euro area and Italy
Full text linkThis paper focuses on the development of the European Institute
of Innovation & Technology and its political economy after
following the Lisbon European Council. We analyse the
aggregate impact of EIT grants on the euro area’s GDP (17
countries) using a SVAR technique and we perform a similar
time-series exercise for Italy, as a robustness check, for the
period 2014Q1-2019Q4.
Results indicate that ‘EIT expenditures’ have a positive impact
on GDP, both in the case of the euro area and Italy. Such
‘mission-oriented’ spending at the continental level could be a
way forward for the eurozone
Who will fix the economy? Expectations and trust in the European institutions
No full textThe Euro Crisis has increased the requirements of the problem-solving capacity of political institutions and raised issues about the attribution of responsibility for facing the crisis. The chapter deals with the role of media in the activation of the accountability mechanisms, that is to say how media evaluated EU performance in handling the crisis. The chapter discusses if there exist a common European media approach to the role and the responsibilities of the EU
Bipolarismo, leadership e governabilità. La resistibile modernizzazione del sistema politico italiano
No full textSe si scorre rapidamente la parabola politica del processo di riforma del sistema politico italiano dal suo inizio (primo referendum Segni del 1991) fino agli esiti della riforma elettorale (c.d. “Porcellum”) e al secco “No” prevalso il 26 giugno 2006 al referendum costituzionale sulla riforma del premierato proposta dal centrodestra, sembrerebbe di poter concludere che tale parabola sia ritornata al punto iniziale dal quale era partita. Iniziata con una mobilitazione per il maggioritario, si è ritornati al proporzionale. Caratterizzata sin da subito da istanze di riforma del sistema politico nel senso di maggiore governabilità e stabilità complessiva, tali istanze sembrano giunte a un punto morto dopo la bocciatura referendaria del nuovo testo costituzionale approvato nella legislatura 2001-2006.
Tuttavia, se si analizza più in profondità e in dettaglio il contesto complessivo del panorama politico-istituzionale italiano, si vedrà come l’esito di tale ricognizione non porta a conclusioni così negative. Ciò in quanto l’aspetto forse più importante – per gli effetti che ha sortito – di tutto il processo di mutamento del sistema politico italiano, e cioè la bipolarizzazione della sua logica di funzionamento, ha prodotto importanti cambiamenti nelle dinamiche e nel funzionamento della politica italiana, nel senso di una maggiore modernizzazione del sistema stesso. E, restando in piedi il bipolarismo, restano in piedi le ulteriori prospettive di riforma del nostro sistema politico
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
