Quantification of food waste within food service in the historic centre of Naples: A case study
No full textThe world scenario on human nutrition nowadays is a huge paradox. From one side, millions of undernourished people. On the other, tons of food are wasted every year. Throughout the whole food chain, wastes or losses are a modern issue. Albeit a growing scientific interest, literature lacks precise estimates that identify the actual composition and basic characteristics of the food waste from a business owner point of view. Therefore, this work tries to estimate the quantity and quality of the food wasted in the Historic Centre of Naples, Italy, via a self-report questionnaire, involving directly food service owners. Results show an amount of more than 7000 quintals of food wasted every year, of which more than 70% is represented by finished products unsold, even being potentially exploitable through a food re-use that, according to interviews, is perceived difficult in terms of both execution and management
Economia politica del non profit
No full textIl volume analizza approfonditamente il ruolo che l'impresa non profit riveste all’interno della teoria economica. Dopo aver affrontato criticamente le interpretazioni prevalenti nella letteratura, gli autori si soffermano sulle transazioni gratuite, sul principio di reciprocità e sulle reti associative.
Tale tematica è poi inquadrata all’interno della crisi del welfare state e del conseguente sviluppo delle attività non profit. Successivamente, gli autori si soffermano sui meccanismi di finanziamento e sullo sviluppo del non profit e sul suo ruolo nell’affrontare il problema della disoccupazione di massa
Property rights and incentives in social cooperatives
No full textThis paper analyzes Italian social cooperatives as a typical delivery service
firm, focusing on employee incentive systems characterized by “role tension”
linked to the dual position of being employee and owner at the same time. The
answers to three questions: “Why to incentivize”, “What to incentivize” “How to
incentivize” are searched, building on both the lack of employee’s controllability in
the sector and the reconstruction of property rights consistent with the characteristics
of social cooperatives and the profit non-distribution constraint. The conclusion
is that, because they are able to structure a richer incentive set, social cooperatives
are more efficient in the provision of social utility services even though they pay
lower wages than public organizations and for-profit firms
