    The Italian State Monopoly in Life Insurance: The Organisational and Management Model of the INA (1912–1923)

    No full text
    During the first two decades of the twentieth century in Italy, in addition to the development of mutual insurance companies, the state was involved in safeguarding the interests of various social partners in expanding the concept of social security and, at the same time, increasing the importance of its central role as investor in the Italian economy. Life insurance – through the creation of a National Institute (INA) which carried out its activities in a relative monopoly regime for about a decade (1912–1923) – was the first sector in which the expansion of state intervention began. The simplicity of the organisation consisted in the way in which the INA’s insurance activity was structured, and it represented the real element of novelty. The research, largely based on documentary sources from the INA historical archive in Rome, sheds light on this particular moment in the Italian insurance and entrepreneurial history, connecting in an articulated way with the historical and economic contexts of reference: the strong political and economic implications, the legislative precedents of the project, the first economic results and the reactions – national and international – to the state monopoly

    Le strategie d’investimento finanziario delle corporazioni napoletane ricostruite attraverso alcuni documenti contabili (sec. XVI-XVIII)

    No full text
    Il contributo, di taglio interdisciplinare, indaga le strategie d’investimento dei capitali raccolti per finanziare i servizi di assistenza economica agli iscritti, da parte delle corporazioni napoletane tra il XVI e XVIII secolo. La principale testimonianza dello straordinario giro d’affari di alcune fra le più facoltose corporazioni è custodita in alcuni fondi d’archivio dei tribunali del Regno, nell’Archivio di Stato di Napoli. Si tratta di stati del patrimonio immobiliare e di altri documenti che consentono una prima stima delle attività finanziarie. Un caso emblematico è rappresentato dal ricchissimo ed articolato patrimonio immobiliare della corporazione dei “giudecchieri” (venditori di vestiti di seconda mano, che possedevano sin dal XIV secolo il monopolio di compravendita degli abiti prêt-à-porter), frutto di complesse strategie finanziare e indice di una sofisticata capacità di gestione. The contribution, with an interdisciplinary approach, investigates the investment strategies of the capital raised to finance the economic assistance services to members, by the Neapolitan guilds between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. The main evidence of the extraordinary turnover of some of the wealthiest guilds is kept in some archive funds of the courts of the Kingdom, in the Naples State Archives. These are the statuses of the real estate assets and other documents that make it possible an initial estimate of financial assets. An emblematic case is represented by the very rich and articulated real estate assets of the guild of the “giudecchieri” (sellers of second-hand clothes, who had the monopoly of buying and selling prêt-à-porter clothes since the 14th century), result of complex financial strategies and index of sophisticated wealth management skills

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
