"Con suo agio vorrei che m'interrogasse qualcuno dei tanti vetturini..." Empiria ed antiquaria nel metodo storico di Aurelio Guarnieri Ottoni (1737-1788)
No full textL’articolo prende in esame una lettera, conservata nell’archivio del Museo Correr di Venezia, datata 15 agosto 1786, scritta da Aurelio Guarnieri Ottoni (1737-1788) a Simone Assemani (1752-1821). Dalle richieste rivolte al sacerdote si evidenzia il metodo di ricerca di Guarnieri alle prese in quel momento con la stesura della Dissertazione del conte Aurelio Guarnieri Ottoni patrizio osimano intorno al corso dell'antica via Claudia dalla città di Altino sino al fiume Danubio. Guarnieri per delineare la sua ipotesi di percorso della strada romana dimostra di saper mettere a frutto i dati delle fonti antiche sia quelli ricavabili dall’osservazione e dalla verifica sul terreno
Environmental impacts of productivity-led working time reduction
No full textThis contribution shows that a relevant curtailment of carbon emissions results from productivity-led working time reduction, i.e. increases in labour productivity converted into less working time. However, the interaction between working time reduction and GDP can constrain the achievement of emission reductions. To explore these interactions, we apply Eurogreen, a dynamic macro-simulation model, to France and compare three different scenarios: i. Working Time Reduction converts increases in labour productivity into more time affluence; ii. Global Working Time Reduction explores the effects on exports when working time reduction occurs also abroad; iii. Constrained Working Time Reduction additionally examines the impact of a binding fiscal rule. We find that the greater the performance in terms of emission reduction, the smaller the improvement in employment. Moreover, under working time reduction, changes in the sensitivity of wage to productivity growth affect the relationship between distribution and emission. The benefits in emissions reduction are still significant while the labour share increases with respect to the baseline
Il modello corporativo nell’America latina degli anni Trenta
No full textIl modello corporativo ebbe una particolare applicazione in America latina dove, secondo alcuni autori, esisteva un terreno fertile all'applicazione di alcune sue pratiche e istituzioni, a causa della mentalità corporativa già presente nelle società politiche. Questa mentalità derivava dall'antica dominazione iberica e dalla concezione gerarchica e tendente all'armonizzazione piuttosto che alla conflittualità. Si affronta poi il caso del Brasile, in cui, più che altrove, il corporativismo si concretizzò nell'applicazione delle soluzioni della Carta del lavoro del fascismo italiano
Cooperation, rules, and motivations. Essays on morality in decision-making, economics, and institutional evolution.
No full textThe thesis discusses the role of morality in decision-making, economic theory, and institutional evolution. Moral motivations are interpreted as frames for social preferences and norms. Deliberation and moral discussion are described as interactive cognitive processes that ground the formation of moral motivations and the collective acknowledgement of institutions. Besides the introductory chapter, which highlights the possibility of an ex ante theory of moral motivations, the thesis is organized in three chapters. The first chapter illustrates the role of deliberation and discussion in other-regarding and pro-social decisions. The second chapter aims at complementing Searle’s social ontology with a conception of the formation of institutions, based on the hypothesis of interactive intentionality. The third chapter is an experiment on the effects of ethics deliberation and discussion on risking on others
