La gestione finanziaria e amministrativa dei progetti finanziati dai fondi comunitari
No full textIl libro aspira a fornire al lettore una visione a 360 gradi della nuova programmazione comunitaria, a livello nazionale, europeo e internazionale, e gli strumenti di management necessari a presentare un progetto e gestirlo. Il volume è strutturato in quattro blocchi. Il primo blocco – policy – introduce alla programmazione comunitaria, fornendo le coordinate per l’orientamento nell’attività dell’Unione Europea. Il secondo blocco – analisi – introduce alcuni elementi quali: la matrice di finanziabilità, il quadro logico, e le regole con cui impostare la propria attività progettuale ricorrendo ai finanziamenti comunitari. Il terzo blocco – strumenti – fornisce le leve utili per la sottomissione di proposte e la gestione successiva dei progetti aggiudicati. L’ultimo blocco, infine, si occupa dell’analisi costi benefici dei progetti e della disciplina sugli aiuti di Stato
Beauty contested: how much of Keynes' remains in behavioural economics' beauty contests?
No full textIn one of the most famous passages of the economic literature, John Maynard Keynes likens the stock market to a beauty contest (BC), in which the winners are those who anticipate the average opinion. In behavioural economics there have recently been attempts at investigating the BC experimentally. We argue that there exist important differences between Keynes' and behavioural economics' BCs. We identify several types of BCs and propose a taxonomy. We also suggest that, in spite of these differences, Keynes' theory of decision under uncertainty is central to understanding the actual behaviour observed in experimental BCs.Beauty contest, behavioural economics, Keynes, rationality,
Causal Performativity and the Definition of Social Entrepreneurship
No full textThere is an emerging consensus among scholars that a unified definition of social entrepreneurship would empower better research and legitimize the entire field. In spite of these benefits, none of the four definitions identified here is clearly superior to the others. Moreover, a unified definition might be unattainable and it would arguably also have negative side effects that have been so far overlooked—namely, managerial issues for social entrepreneurs, efficiency issues for the economic system, theoretical issues for scholars, as well as ethical issues at large. Finally, this chapter argues that the alleged benefits of a unified definition might be obtained with two definitions or more
Bayesian Inference for the Intrinsic Dimension
No full textIn this work we propose a new Bayesian method for making in- ference on the intrinsic dimension of point cloud data sampled from a low– dimensional structure embedded in a high–dimensional ambient space. The basic ingredient of our Bayesian recipe is a composite marginal likelihood built under working independence assumptions, that was suggested by MacKay and Ghahramani [6] to improve on an earlier proposal based on local Poisson process approximations (see [5]). In order to get a posterior with approximately correct asymptotic behavior and curvature, we calibrate this pseudolikelihood as in [8] and then compare in simulated and real exam- ples a standard MCMC method against a variation of the default Bayesian framework described in [12]
