Educational support by grandparents and human capital growth: an OLG model with endogenous time allocation
No full textThis study explores the role of grandparents in the education of their grandchildren within an overlapping generations model. We introduce an endogenously determined time allocation, where grandparents decide how much time to dedicate to their grandchildren's education based on a trade-off between leisure and educational contributions. The model shows that grandparental involvement in education
influences the intergenerational transmission of human capital, with the potential for long-term effects on economic outcomes. By combining theoretical analysis and simulations, we highlight the dynamic relationship between grandparental education, human capital development, and the generational transmission process
Elderly labor supply, endogenous grandparental childcare, and fertility in an OLG model
No full textThis paper explores how grandparental childcare influences fertility decisions, elderly labor supply, and economic development. We model the time elderly individuals allocate between work and caring for grandchildren. In high-income countries, higher wages lead to increased investments in children’s education and human capital. Interestingly, the decision to work in old age does not depend on economic development but on wage dynamics. Specifically, when the effective wage grows rapidly, grandparents are more likely
to work, even while caring for grandchildren. These findings highlight the importance of intergenerational time transfers in shaping economic outcomes. Future research could explore the long-term effects of aging populations on labor markets and family dynamics
The k-logistic growth model. Qualitative and quantitative dynamics
No full textThe κ-exponential function, representing a generalization of the exponential function, has been
firstly introduced in physics, and, then, it has been considered in a noteworthy number of
fields because of its ability to take rare events into account. Among the possible applications
of this function, one of particular interest is in economics in which rare events may consist
in natural disasters, such as earthquakes that reduce the supply of capital, or epidemics or
other external shocks influencing the supply of intermediate inputs, human or physical capital.
Starting from the κ-exponential function, the κ-logistic function, which is a generalization of
the sigmoidal function, can be obtained and used to describe production functions in a unique
setting to take into account (1) several shapes usually considered in economics (i.e. concave and
non-concave production functions), (2) economies at different development levels, and, (3) the
possible occurrence of rare events. In this paper, we investigate the economic growth model as
proposed by Böhm and Kaas (2000), wherein the production function utilizes the κ-logistic
function. We provide theoretical results confirmed by extensive computational experiments
and in line with economic literature showing that a poverty trap may emerge together with
fluctuations, multistability and complex dynamics
Considerazioni su Cesare Baronio e la Spagna, tra controversia politica e ricezione erudita
No full textThe study is focused on the complex relationship within Cesare baronio and the Spanish Monarchy, in the new political and historical context. As a cardinal, as pope confessor, as author, he had a preminent role in all the most relavant disputes between Rome, Madrid and Paris of the beginning of the 17th cent., when the balances and the alliances inside the the catholicism were changing.
Ma è poi tanto pacifico che l’albero rispecchi l’archivio?
No full textThe Author investigates the hierarchical nature of XML structures and the way it influences the representation of archival materials: focusing on the widespread habit of referring to and depicting archives as trees, the Author highlights some major concerns and restraints related to a hierarchy-oriented approach, whereas the complex nature of archives needs to be represented through different and richer strategies
EAC: Elementi per un Approccio Critico
No full textThe Author highlights the poor spread of EAD/EAC in Italy and analyses the causes considering the broader context of standardization processes: to this aim, the Author identifies well defined problems related to political, cultural, and technical aspects. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of some doubts and uncertainties arising from the beta version of EAC: suggestions and solutions are presented in the paper
Diritto al silenzio e insider trading: il confronto tra Roma e Lussemburgo prosegue sulla via del dialogo (Corte costituzionale, sentenza n. 84/2021)
No full textWith decision n. 84/2021, the Constitutional Court declared the unconstitutionality of art.
187 – quinquiesdecies (d.lgs. n. 58/1998), relating to the crime of insider trading as it violates the right to
remain silent (art. 24 Cost.). The Author analyzes the decision, highlighting how it is an important

European Charter of Fundamental Rightsand the italian constitutional tradition
La libertà religiosa e di culto nella spirale dell'emergenza sanitaria Covid-19
No full textThe Author analyses the impact of the limitations applied to religious freedom during the health emergency by Covid-19. The analysis of the discipline dictated by the Government is also a useful opportunity to reflect on the most general and crucial issue concerning the relationship between guarantees and limits of constitutional rights, examinig the existence of a power to suspend the enjoyment of fundamental rights and freedoms in times of emergency. Also through the comparison with the German constitutional experience, the Author reflects about the proportionality of the measures put in place in the “state of exception” to investigate, ultimately, the endurance of the constitutional legality
