Attaccamento, organizzazione-disorganizzazione, e regolazione diadica dell’attenzione
No full textIn attachment theory, the key to continuity from childhood to adulthood is based on the organization construct. According to Bowlby, adult attachment behavior is organized around purpose, while different attachment styles differ from each other in terms of the organizational clarity with which an object is researched and reached and in which behaviors related to antithetical objectives take place. The direction and the quality of attention are of crucial importance to this process, allowing for the focalization on a set objective.
As for behavioral organization, secure attachment implies an intentional and attentive direction, so it follows that disorganized attachment implies both an intentional and attentive difficulty. Thus, disorganized attachment is characterized by a deficit of emotional organization and regulation and by the failing of shared attention.
The impossibility to establish attentive focus, which is coherent with a univocal purpose, produces that particular attention pathology defined as a disorientation that could be included in the detachment category, which is typical of a dissociative disorder
Le Determinanti della Povertà minorile ed educativa in Italia e nel Sud
Full text linkIl tema della povertà minorile e lo studio delle sue determinanti è diventato –
soprattutto nell’ultima decade – centrale nel dibattito politico ed economico. È importante,
proprio per ciò, dedicare grande attenzione a comprendere meglio il fenomeno sotto il profilo
delle sue dimensioni e delle caratteristiche concrete che esso assume nel nostro paese. Lo
scopo di questo lavoro è principalmente quello di analizzare prevalentemente i dati legati al
fenomeno della povertà minorile nel nostro paese, sia a livello nazionale che di macro-area
Trust in the European Union project and the role of ECB
No full textWas the European Central Bank able to assure the relaunch of the European project after the weakening of the post-crisis period? To answer this question, this paper presents an empirical analysis connecting citizen trust in the European Union with
a variable intended to be a measure of the monetary policy strategy of the European Central Bank, namely, the interest rate on government bonds extracted from the 1-year maturity yield curve. The dynamic panel technique, applied to nineteen Eurozone countries for the time span of 2004–2018, estimates the presence of a long-run common relationship between the variables despite allowing diferent short-run adjustment mechanisms. Results are revealed to be not univocal: the easy monetary policy strategy is associated for the whole period with a decline of trust, and therefore, despite its impressiveness, it was not sufcient to relaunch the European Union project. However, when considering the change in strategy of the post-2013 period,
it seemed to have contributed to a slight inversion of the decline of trust. These results highlight the importance of non-conventional measures and call for further support from coordinated policy action as a response to the negative shock deriving
from the COVID-19 pandemic
Target2 imbalances and poverty in the eurozone
No full textThis paper aims to investigate the relationship between external imbalances and poverty in the Eurozone. The former are
registered through the Target2 (T2) settlement mechanism and can be assimilated into changes in official reserves to cover the balance
of payments disequilibrium in a fixed exchange rate regime. The presence of T2 discrepancies has led to differences in interest rates
and increased distances in general living conditions inside the Eurozone. An empirical investigation implemented in 11 Eurozone
countries reveals that T2 is negatively correlated with poverty, therefore allowing for an interpretation that approximates balance of
payment crisis models. Results that appear to be robust to several control variables suggest that the policy framework of the Eurozone
—in the absence of a compensatory mechanism—should be revised towards centralised fiscal instruments and anti-speculative
monetary intervention
Absolute Poverty and Sound public Finance in the Eurozone
Full text linkThe respect of fiscal parameters is supposed to be – according to the official position of the European institutions – the best recipe for granting stability and growth. This optimistic view appears to be in contrast with the recent increase in poverty. The aim of this paper is to individuate the existence of a relation between governments’ decisions about fiscal policy and absolute poverty in 19 Eurozone countries from 2005 to 2017. The attempt is to answer the question as to whether the effect on growth generated by fiscal policy measures can account for the objective of poverty alleviation. The results support the conclusion that absolute poverty increases in the presence of a restrictive fiscal policy, while it decreases in the opposite case. During declining macroeconomic conditions, national governments belonging to the Eurozone appear to be unable to reconcile the objective of sound public finance with that of poverty alleviatio
Do Flexibility Measures Affect the Wage Share? An Empirical Analysis of Selected European Countries
No full textSince the beginning of the 1980s, reforms of the labour market have been at the centre of political and economic debate in the European Union. While these reforms were implemented mainly with the aim of improving employment performance by removing structural issues, they may also have had non-secondary and non-negligible effects on the share of national income received by workers. The aim of this paper is to study the effects of the changes in the labour market regulation index (LMRI) on the wage share in twelve Eurozone countries between 2000 and 2019. The empirical results - obtained from the estimation of an error correction model (ECM) - show that: (i) an inverse relation exists between LMRI as a whole and adjusted wage share in the short run only; (ii) the reduction of the adjusted wage share depends mainly on two specific measures of flexibility: a more decentralized level of bargaining (the effects of which are significant in both long- and short-run periods) and a relaxation of the hiring and firing regulations (the effects of which are significant only in the short run); (iii) the economic growth and unemployment rate also contribute to the decline of the adjusted wage share
