No full textEthical and cognitive challenges in the COVID-19 emergency
No full textThe global emergency caused by the spread of COVID-19 raises critical challenges for individuals and communities on many different levels. In particular, politicians, scientists, physicians, and other professionals may face new ethical dilemmas and cognitive constraints as they make critical decisions in extraordinary circumstances. Philosophers and cognitive scientists have long analyzed and discussed such issues. An example is the debate on moral decision making in imaginary scenarios, such as the famous “Trolley Problem”. Similarly, dramatic and consequential decisions are realized daily in the current crisis. Focusing on Italy, we discuss the clinical ethical guidelines proposed by the Italian Society of Anesthesiology, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI), highlighting some crucial ethical and cognitive concerns surrounding emergency decision making in the current situation
Neuroethics: What the study of brain disorders can tell about moral behavior
Full text linkThe growing interest in the study of morality has led to the birth of a new discipline in the field of moral philosophy called Neuroethics, a multidisciplinary approach that aims to combine philosophy and neuroscience. In this editorial, we explored the relevance of clinical models affected by neurological/psychiatric disorders to learn more about mechanisms sub-serving ethical behaviour at neural and cognitive level

No full textThe present study uses data for workplaces in all sectors of ten European countries to investigate whether firms that have introduced new forms of work organization are more likely to use variable pay schemes. Also the role played in by institutional forces and employees’ representatives is investigated. New regimes of work organization are characterised by both new work practices – such as teams, job rotation, multitasking and flat hierarchies - and higher levels of employees’ direct participation. We find that, in general, schemes of variable pay are more likely to be introduced where new work practices are in place. The presence of employees representatives increases the probability of variable pay, but only when they cooperate with the management in decision-making
Baby Bust, Educational Boom and Unemployment in Europe: Economic Factors and Labour Market Institutions
No full textWe analyse the effects of demographic changes on relative unemployment rates in European countries. Using a panel of European countries for the 1980-2000 period, disaggregated by cohort, gender and education, we empirically test the economic effects of population age structure changes and the patterns by educational levels. When decomposing the effects we find that while structural shifts in population age structure play an important role, a lot of variation is also attributable to within cohort-education usually neglected in aggregate studies. We find no evidence of generational crowding, as suggested in much of the previous literature, while the effects of demographic shocks are found qualitatively different for young and adult workers
