No full text"Economia Politica” over the last 25 years, and more: a snapshot of contents and scholars
No full textA quarter of a century is a remarkable outcome for a scientific journal. On the one hand, the time-span is long enough to map the co-evolution of its discipline and of its editorial context, and to enrich the debate of the history of science. On the other hand, the mass of its articles is large enough to identify the structural characteristics of its typical contents, the general profile of its representative authors, and to orient eventual submission decisions. With these two aims, the paper presents a “snapshot” of the last 27 years of the Italian economics journal Economia Politica. Looking at the JEL (Journal of Economic Literature) codes of its articles and at the bibliographic info of its authors, some distinguishing features are identified, along with some structural changes occurred along its history. The journal distinguishes as a “generalist” one (as opposed to “specialist” journals), with a remarkable distribution of subjects, but with some specializations too. In the last ten years, it has undergone some important changes. In particular, a substantial boost of internationalisation (not only in terms of publication languages, but also in terms of authorships), an increasing weight of co-authorships (and of non academic authorships, though to a lesser extent), a widening of the topics coverage, an increased specialisation on the growth and development implications of technological change, and a new focus on cutting-edge issues of industrial organization (e.g. firm strategy and organization). In terms of authorships, the journal distinguishes for a balanced ratio between senior professors (or equivalent) and junior researchers (or equivalent), towards whose contributions it shows a substantial propensity. In spite of the long editorial history of a group of Italian academics, the distribution of the authors’ affiliations is far from concentrated. The distribution of their faculties is instead dominated by those of economics, but with relevant shares of other surrounding disciplines, such as political sciences and law

Outsourcing and transaction costs in “real” time and space: evidence for a province of Emilia-Romagna
No full textThe aim of the paper is to investigate how far transaction cost based explanations of outsourcing interact with other less stylized explanations related to the firm’s embeddedness in time and space. The theoretical background is the idea that firm’s transactions, in general, and outsourcing, in particular, are crucially affected by the contractual and technological relationships the firm has developed over its history being embedded in a specific territorial context. At first, a set of theoretical correlations are identified between outsourcing decisions, on the one hand, and outsourcing variables related to transaction costs and to other less standard determinants, on the other hand. These correlations are then tested with respect to a representative cross-sectional sample of firms of a local production system in Emilia-Romagna (Reggio Emilia, Italy). The main result of the paper is that outsourcing decisions can be accounted in terms of transactions costs only marginally, while they appear affected by the organizational and industrial relations typical of the context firms are embedded in
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
