Geographical distribution of crime in Italian provinces: A spatial econometric analysis
No full textFor a long time social sciences scholars from different fields have devoted their attention to identifying the causes leading to commit criminal offences and recently lots of studies have included the analysis of spatial effects. Respect to the Italian crime phenomenon some stylized facts exist: high spatial and time variability and presence of 'organised crime' (e.g. Mafia and Camorra) deep-seated in some local territorial areas. Using explanatory spatial data analysis, the paper firstly explores the spatial structure and distribution of four different typologies of crimes (murders, thefts, frauds, and squeezes) in Italian provinces in two years, 1999 and 2003. ESDA allows us to detect some important geographical dimensions and to distinguish crucial macro- and micro- territorial aspects of offences. Further, on the basis of Becker-Ehrlich model, a spatial cross-sectional model including deterrence, economic and socio-demographic variables has been performed to investigate the determinants of Italian crime for 1999 and 2003 and its 'neighbouring' effects, measured in terms of geographical and relational proximity. The empirical results obtained by using different spatial weights matrices highlighted that socioeconomic variables have a relevant impact on crime activities, but their role changes enormously respect to crimes against person (murders) or against property (thefts, frauds and squeezes). It is worthy to notice that severity does not show the expected sign: its significant and positive sign should suggest that inflicting more severe punishments does not always constitute a deterrence to commit crime, but it works on the opposite direction
Un nuovo testimone per le rime di Fazio degli Uberti
No full textThe paper aims to present a short fragment of a vernacular poetry manuscript (end of 14th c.), found in codex Lat. Z 478 (= 1661) of Venice's Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana. In particular, the author studies the contribution of this unknown witness to the text of the canzone Io guardo i crespi e i biondi capelli by Fazio degli Uberti, in the light of the stemma codicum Lorenzi had drawn in his recent critical edition of Fazio's poems (Pisa, 2013). Furthermore, the author examines the text transmitted by the Marcian codex of the pseudo-Boccaccian canzone Subita volontà, nuovo accidente. The essay is followed by the critical edition and by the commentary (focusing on linguistic, philological and literary aspects) of two unpublished sonnets
Geographical Distribution of Crime: A Spatial Econometric Analysis
No full textSince long time social sciences have focused their attention on the causes of crime activities and this attention evolved over time. The sociological school emphasised the role of neighbourhood in delinquency activities, their stability over time and the existence of a negative relation between crimes and business centres (Shaw and McKay, 1942). This perspective stimulated the analysis of the existing nexus between crime activities and their geographical proximity. The economics approach moved differently. Since late 60s the economic analyses devoted their attention to the detection of mechanisms affecting the choice and behaviour of criminals (Becker, 1968; Stigler, 1970; Ehrlich, 1973). But nowadays many analyses have moved further detecting the socio-economic causes (i.e. income inequality and unemployment) that affect crime (Merlo, 2004). Recently, also thanks to the technological advance – i.e. more user-friendly software and the possibility to easily mange GIS applications – some scholars belonging to different disciplines moved in this direction and the geographical analyses of crime started spreading very fast (Anselin et al. 2000). Respective to Italian crime, after an extensive literature on qualitative analysis, in the last few years scholars from different research fields have showed an increasing interest on the quantitative evaluation of crime; viz. the assessment and the measuring of criminality and its principal determinants (Marselli and Vannini, 1997; Marselli and Vannini, 1999; Buonanno and Leonida, 2003). In fact in Italy the crime phenomenon is characterized by some stylized facts: high spatial and time variability; presence of criminal organizations deep-seated in local territorial areas; and high percentage of crimes connected to economic reasons (Marselli and Vannini, 2000). The goal of this paper is twofold. Firstly we want to detect the spatial diffusion of crime activities (distinguishing between criminal activities per se and administrative and civil criminal activities) in Italian provinces. Secondly using spatial econometric techniques, we want to identify an economic model of crime that depicts the spatial interactions among criminality rates and their principal socio-economic determinants. Finally, using network analysis techniques, we try to detect if geographical spillovers are more relevant than other aspects (i.e. social networks, institutions or environmental aspects) in shaping crime in Italian provinces
Institutions and Civil Society Relations in Migori County (Kenya): A Social Network Analysis of Weak and Strong Ties
No full textThe goal of this paper is to investigate policy networks in Migori, a small county in the Western part of Kenya, near the border with Tanzania and Victoria Lake. In this study we build a unique network database and we use Social Network Analysis techniques to detect the structural relations among different stakeholders (e.g. institutions and civil society actors) within this county and we focus on different topics (i.e. overall interactions, training and cooperation, and for specific decision making on health and nutrition, and agricultural issues). The main results show the importance to distinguish, in policy networks, the rationale of interactions and their intensity, i.e. weak or strong ties. Institutions and civil society organizations are differently connected according to the functions and intensity of networks in which they operate. For example, for health and nutrition the Ministry is the core actor; the opposite occurs in agriculture, where local communities are the core players; and finally in training and coordination we have an intermediate layout, if compared to the two previous ones

Mapping the evolution of clusters: A meta-analysis
No full textThis paper presents a meta-analysis of the cluster literature contained in scientific journals from 1969 to 2007. Thanks to an original database we study the evolution of a stream of literature which focuses on a research object which is both a theoretical puzzle and an empirical widespread evidence. We identify different growth stages, from take-off to development and maturity. We test the existence of a life-cycle within the authorships and we discover the existence of a substitutability relation between different collaborative behaviours. We study the relationships between a spatial and an industrial approach within the textual corpus of cluster literature and we show the existence of a predatory interaction. We detect the relevance of clustering behaviours in the location of authors working on clusters and in measuring the influence of geographical distance in co-authorship. We measure the extent of a convergence process of the vocabulary of scientists working on clusters
I sistemi elettorali e la politica fiscale : il caso italiano dal 1861 ai giorni nostri
No full textQuesto lavoro si propone come scopo principale l’analisi degli effetti delle regole elettorali sulla politica fiscale, con particolare riferimento al caso italiano: infatti l’Italia, dal 1861 ai giorni nostri, ha modificato più volte il sistema elettorale, alternando sistema maggioritario a quello proporzionale. In particolare viene analizzata come la “dimensione” dello Stato, calcolata in termini di spesa pubblica, entrate e saldo di bilancio, e la “composizione” dello Stato, misurata in termini di spesa redistributiva, vengano influenzate da distinti sistemi elettorali.
Diversamente da altri recenti lavori empirici, questo lavoro non si pone come scopo quello di analizzare l’effetto dei sistemi politici in differenti paesi, ma al contrario si concentra sull’analisi degli effetti del sistema elettorale in un solo paese, l’Italia, in un arco di tempo molto lungo, 140 anni.
Questa indagine empirica conferma, in parte, i risultati delle analisi cross-section: in generale sistemi elettorali di tipo maggioritario, rispetto a sistemi elettorali di tipo proporzionale, dedicano meno risorse finanziarie sia alla “dimensione” dello stato, che alla “composizione”
