Dispute civili e sistema giudiziario: un'analisi economica del caso italiano
Full text linkIl tema della giustizia, uscito negli ultimi anni dalla sfera del dibattito riservato agli addetti ai lavori, ha assunto una rilevanza politica e sociale tale da essere ormai considerato da più parti un’emergenza. Lungi da ogni approccio allarmista e generico, questo volume mette a fuoco in particolare le disfunzioni della giustizia civile, viste attraverso una lente insolita che è quella dell’analisi economica delle sue procedure e della sua organizzazione e amministrazione. Il funzionamento non ottimale della giustizia civile ha infatti un impatto rilevante sull’economia e sul funzionamento dei mercati. Da qui la necessità di un’indagine economica della contesa giudiziaria incentrata sia sui comportamenti delle parti in causa, sia sugli effetti che le regole sostanziali e procedurali hanno su tali comportamenti.
Una particolare attenzione viene rivolta all’analisi della «domanda» di giustizia civile in Italia e delle sue determinanti, nella consapevolezza che le difficoltà dell’esercizio della giustizia vadano cercate anche nell’eccessivo ricorso allo strumento giudiziario, oltre che nell’inadeguatezza delle risorse e del loro uso efficiente

Security, immigration and development assistance: an integrated approach
No full textThe European Union’s security and immigration policy requires a set of actions coordinated between the Union and individual Member States, plus a consistent policy of development cooperation within the frame work of European Neightbourhood Policy (ENP). This article takes a look at the European approach in these policy areas. After considering the economic and social causes of international migration, it dwells on the prospective “migratory pressure” on Europe, which is expected to be strong, especially from the southern shores of the Mediterranean. The authors stress the essential role of European Neightbourhood Policy, which must promote development and democracy in the countries bordering on the Union. It is necessary to create an area of stability and security within which to achieve negotiated regulation of migratory flows. It is argued that the financial resources for ENP are inadequate and that a decisive role will be played by bilateral aid to the bordering countries from EU member States. Nevertheless, the author observe that these resources are subject to the budgetary constraints of the Stability and Growth Pact and accordingly recommend that the development assistance should also be treated as investment in stability and security, the benefits of which will be reflected in diminished future costs for individual European countries. The authors therefore call for the application of the “golden rule” to this expenditure, treating it on a par with investment and R&D spending for purpose of calculating government deficits
The Migration FDI puzzle: complements or substitutes?
Full text linkThis paper analyses the link between FDI inflows and migration waves from developing countries. In addition, it investigates mechanisms through which this link works. Empirical results indicate that FDI can be seen as substitutes of migration through direct and indirect labour demand. However, the paper demonstrates that a positive relationship (complementarity effect) between FDI and migration flows takes place. In longitudinal analysis results indicate that the complementarity effect prevails. In cross section analysis, estimating a two equation models, we find that a substitutability effect is at work through the impact of FDI on human capital accumulation but the direct complementarity effect also prevail
Public service motivation: the state of the art
No full textThe concept of public service motivation (PSM) dates back to 1982. Since then, many definitions, measurement scales and implications have been proposed and discussed. Nevertheless, there is still a gap between what is known and what it would be useful to know about PSM. This article reviews literature published in the last thirty years and identifies five main streams within literature itself. The relevant branches are: definition, measurement, generalizability, the relationship between PSM and other individual and organizational variables, and the translation of PSM theory into human resource management (HRM) practices. Finally, this paper identifies unanswered questions for future research. What is the relationship between PSM and individual and organizational performance? What is the link between PSM and leadership in the public sector? How should HRM practices be designed to consider different level of PSM found among public servants
