Italy Calls For A Bretton Woods For The Eurozone
No full textA book of dreams? On the contrary, we believe this to be a realistic alternative that would benefit all, would
restore growth and sustainability, and avoid the deterioration of the current imbalances and traumatic end of the
euro. It would be much better for the European leaders to face the truth and inaugurate a constituent phase
leading to the creation of a new system based on these seven points. A lack of an agreement will lead almost
inevitably to the end of the euro and return to national currencies
Appello economisti: L’Italia chieda una “Bretton Woods” per l’eurozona
No full textUn libro dei sogni? No. Piuttosto l’unica direzione di marcia
possibile nell’interesse di tutti per realizzare crescita e
sostenibilità e arrestare la rotta di collisione che porterebbe
inevitabilmente all’aggravarsi degli attuali squilibri ed alla
fine cruenta dell’euro. Meglio che i leader europei facciano
un’operazione di verità convocando una fase costituente
con l’obiettivo di realizzare un sistema nuovo fondato su
questi sette punti. La mancanza di un accordo porterebbe
quasi inevitabilmente alla fine dell’euro e al ritorno alle
valute nazionali
The Stability of the Adjusted and Unadjusted Environmental Kuznets Curve
Full text linkIn our paper, we test the stability of the unadjusted and adjusted Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Our results provide evidence in favour of the significance of the adjusted EKC hypothesis in which the impact of per capita GDP on the intensity of CO2 emissions is evaluated conditionally to the effects of the energy-supply infrastructure and of additional socio-demographic variables. In this framework, the GDP-CO2 relationship appears robust to the inclusion of additional regressors and to changes in the estimation period and intervalSustainable development, Kuznets curve, CO2 emissions
When fair trade generates social capital by creating room for manoeuvre for pro-poor policies
No full textWe evaluate the impact of Fair Trade (FT) affiliation on child schooling within a sample
of Chilean honey producers with a retrospective panel data approach. From a theoretical
point of view, we argue that FT should have a positive effect on child schooling since it
generates a short-run pure income effect together with a medium-run productivity effect
on both adult and child wages. On the other hand, because of the higher productivity
generated by the medium-run effect, the opportunity cost of child education increases if
they work with their parents. The direction of the impact of FT affiliation on child
schooling is therefore uncertain and requires empirical testing. Our econometric findings
document a positive and significant impact of affiliation years on child schooling after
controlling for endogeneity and heterogeneity between the treatment and control sample
The 1990’s financial crises in Nordic countries
Full text linkThe current financial crisis, which has lasted almost one and a half years, is the 19th such crisis in the post-war period in advanced economies. Recent literature classifies the Nordic crises in Norway, Sweden and Finland in late 1980's and early 1990’s among the Big Five crises that have happened before the current crisis, which is now of a global nature. This paper outlines the developments of the Nordic crises, reasons behind them and crisis management by the authorities. Relatively more emphasis is placed on the Finnish crisis, as it was the deepest one. The paper concludes by considering the lessons that can be drawn from the Nordic crises.financial deregulation; bank lending; overheating; financial crisis
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
Importance des espaces internes, welfare et mondialisation
No full textInternational audienceIn his speech on 20 January 2024, Pope Francis dwells on inland areas, which are the most fragile in Italy, but also the richest in natural resources and community spirit. We must start from these links to support these fragile areas, where the state does not arrive. His proposal of community welfare is parallel to that of generative welfare, by the Italian economist Leonardo Becchetti. Both bring the human back to the centre, against the consumerist drift of mass society.Dans son discours du 20 janvier 2024, le pape François s'attarde sur les zones intérieures, les plus fragiles d'Italie, mais aussi les plus riches en ressources naturelles et en esprit communautaire. Il faut partir de ces liens pour soutenir ces zones fragiles, où l'État n'arrive pas. Sa proposition de bien-être communautaire est parallèle à celle de bien-être génératif, de l'économiste italien Leonardo Becchetti. Tous deux remettent l’humain au centre, contre la dérive consumériste de la société de masse
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
