The presence of larger inventive firms in cities helps smaller firms to be more inventive as well – eventually
No full textWhile the positive effects of similar firms locating close to one another – so called agglomeration effects – are well known, do these positive spillovers also apply to large inventive firms? In new research, Carlo Menon examines the effect that companies which have a large number of patents have on patents granted by other companies in the same area. He finds that through knowledge spillover effects, a ten percent increase in the number of patents from Top Inventing Companies can lead to an increase in patents from smaller companies by about 2 percent over the following 4 to 8 years
Le rime in lingua rustica padovana di Magagnò, Menon e Begotto: testo critico e commento
No full textThe current dissertation consists of the critical edition of the four volumes of Rime in lingua rustica by Magagnò, Menon and Begotto. The text, which is complete of a critical apparatus and a circumstancial analysis of mistakes and variations, has been built up on the basis of the princeps of the four volumes and, where required, on subsequent editions. This thesis also comprises an analysis of some booklets containing single poetic works and two manuscripts, founded by dott. Cenini in the Ambrosiana Library, Milan. The text is prefaced by an introduction presenting the three main authors of the Rime, with an overview of other authors who contributed to the collection. The present text also includes an analysis of the overall structure of the collection, which in many respects can be considered as a curious lyrics for many hands. This work comes with two contents or annotated glossaries: the first, concerning onomastics, illustrates the great imagination of the three poets, who disfigure Italian names from a “pavana” point of view, and their intricate web of relationships with the cultural world of Veneto in the second part of the XVI century; the second, concerning the hapax and neologisms, presents an annotated overview of lessical compositions of the three poets, which are often very daring, also suggesting relationships with previous and subsequent pavani authors. These contents show a first practical use of Lessico Pavano, coordinated by prof. Paccagnella. The work is crowned by an Appendix quoting and briefly editing some poetic works written by Magagnò and Menon on the occasion of the Battle of Lepanto, which were not included in the Rime and were dispersed in booklets founded by dott. Cenini in Udine and Milan libraries. This Appendix is dott. Cenini's contribution for completeness of the works of corpus pavano.La tesi consiste nell'edizione critica dei quattro volumi delle Rime in lingua rustica di Magagnò, Menon e Begotto. Il testo, completo di un apparato critico e di un'analisi dettagliata di errori e varianti, è stato stabilito sulla base delle princeps dei quattro volumi e, dove necessario, su edizioni successive. Sono stati anche analizzati anche alcuni opuscoli contenenti singoli componimenti, e due manoscritti ritrovati dal dott. Cenini nella bibloteca Ambrosiana di Milano. Precede il testo una breve introduzione in cui vengono presentati i tre principali autori delle Rime e in cui viene fatta una panoramica degli altri autori che hanno contribuito alla raccolta. Viene anche analizzata la struttura complessiva della raccolta, che sotto molti aspetti può essere considerata come un curioso canzoniere a più mani. Il testo è corredato anche di due indici o glossari ragionati: nel primo, riguardante l'onomastica, si mostra la grande inventiva dei tre poeti nel deformare in chiave "pavana" nomi italiani, e si disegna la complessa rete di rapporti che i tre ebbero con il mondo culturale veneto del secondo '500; nel secondo indice, riguardante gli hapax e i neologismi, viene data una panoramica ragionata delle creazioni lessicali, spesso molto ardite, dei tre poeti, suggerendo anche alcuni rapporti con autori pavani precedenti e successivi. Questi indici rappresentano un primo utilizzo pratico del Lessico Pavano diretto dal prof. Paccagnella. Completa il lavoro un'Appendice in cui vengono riportati e brevemente commentati alcuni componimenti scritti da Magagnò e Menon in occasione della vittoria di Lepanto, non compresi nelle Rime e dispersi in opuscoli che il dott. Cenini ha ritrovato nelle biblioteche di Udine e Milano. Questa Appendice rappresenta il contributo del dott. Cenini alla completezza del corpus di opere pavane
The Cost of Rearing Children, Child Welfare and Child Poverty within a Collective Household Model

The Sharing Rule: Where Is It? WP Series University of Verona Department of Economics (ISSN: 2036-2919 (paper), 2036-4679 (online)), 16/2012
No full textThe search for a robust and stable sharing rule has led us to novel results about
identification of the rule governing the intra-household allocation of resources. We
introduce an income proportionality property that directly connects distribution
factors with individual incomes and implement this identifying condition to obtain
an exact correspondence between the structural and reduced form of the adopted
collective demand equations. The paper first reexamines the collective model of
household consumption and shows that a) the collective model as traditionally de-
veloped is not identified, b) illustrates the novel income proportionality condition,
and c) derives a restriction allowing full identification. In the tradition of collective
theory, we exploit information about private consumption of an assignable good,
clothing for adults and children in our application, prices and distribution factor
variation to estimate how resources are shared between adults and children in a
sample of Italian households. Previous estimations of collective models where only
limited to either the direct or indirect estimation of the structure. Our results open
up the possibility of a direct structural estimation of a collective system of demand
equations, and associated individual Engel curves, as easily as estimating a demand
system based on a unitary framework
A Field Study on University Enrolment: The Intentions of Prospective Students
No full textWe study the university choice of prospective students using a unique dataset enriched with “lab-in-the-field” experiments aimed at eliciting risk and time preferences of students. Controlling for assortative mating, we find that father's rather than mother's education is significantly associated with the likelihood of children's enrolment in university indicating that the intergenerational transmission of human capital is mainly channelled through the father's education. Family possessions, as measured by homeownership, are positively associated with the likelihood of children's enrolment, while parental income has a small impact on this choice. This result suggests that in our sample there is equal access to university irrespective of short-time family liquidity constraints. We also find that economic preference parameters, such as risk and time preferences, account for a small part of the prospect of enrolling in university, while subjective expectations, effort and school ability of children are strong predictors of future schooling investment. In addition, through a counterfactual analysis, sports activities among children appear to increase the university enrolment rate. Our findings provide helpful directions for decision-makers to attract talented students to tertiary education
