Lo stato dell'informazione statistica sul lavoro, con particolare riguardo alla partecipazione al lavoro ed a retribuzioni e costo del lavoro
Indagini dirette e fonti amministrative: dall'alternativa all'ancora incompiuta integrazione
The focus of the paper is about the relationships between registers (an censuses) and surveys in the in the Italian official statistics. After a brief introduction on the historical background, marked by a polarization between the two strategies of data collection, the focus is on the 1980s and early '90s. Under the presidency of Guido M. Rey a new strategy is embraced, based on the integration of different data sources. The main accomplishments, and shortcomings, of this strategy are presented and discussed. The final part of the paper is devoted to a critical assessment of the still unsatisfactory state of the art today, and to broad suggestions for a reasonable way out
The determinants of teacher mobility: Evidence using Italian teachers' transfer applications
Of particular importance for education policy-makers is the possibility that teacher mobility adversely affects the quality of teaching in schools serving mainly disadvantaged and minority children. This paper examines the main drivers of the mobility of Italian teachers by using applications-to-transfer data. We find that teachers systematically try to move away from schools where teaching is likely to be more difficult because of the student mix or the social context of the school. Given the absence of any criteria other than seniority in regulating teachers' allocation across schools, disadvantaged students frequently end up with less experienced teachers who are often just waiting to move elsewhere
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
Capitale sociale, crescita e shock istituzionali:cosa ci insegna il caso del Mezzogiorno
Globalizzazione, specializzazione produttiva e mercato del lavoro italiano
Nel lavoro si analizzano gli effetti dell’integrazione internazionale sul mercato del lavoro, distinguendo i diversi canali che legano globalizzazione, specializzazione produttiva, salari e struttura occupazionale. L’attenzione è rivolta al caso dell’Italia, un paese caratterizzato da una sostanziale staticità nel modello di specializzazione, che sembra aver reagito diversamente da altri paesi industriali alla sfida della globalizzazione. Si mostra che in Italia gran parte dell’aggiustamento ha avuto luogo all’interno dei settori, con una riorganizzazione nei processi produttivi e riflessi sulla domanda di lavoro
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
