La deontologia di chi produce e detiene dati statistici: dalla possibilità alla certezza dell'accesso
No full textL’approvazione del “Codice di deontologia e buona condotta per il trattamento di dati personali per scopi statistici e scientifici” rappresenta un notevole miglioramento delle possibilità offerte ai ricercatori italiani di accedere a microdati per lavori scientifici.
Tuttavia, la nuova normativa semplicemente autorizza il ricercatore ad accedere alle banche dati, ma non impone alle istituzioni che raccolgono o detengono i dati di garantirne l’accesso ai ricercatori. Per questo motivo, in questo articolo proponiamo l’introduzione dell’obbligo - almeno per gli enti pubblici - di condividere con i ricercatori accreditati - almeno quelli di ruolo presso le università - i dati statistici che questi
richiedono per svolgere lavori di ricerca senza scopi di lucro. Nell’articolo documentiamo la nostra personale l’esperienza di rapporti spesso difficili con le amministrazioni che detengono dati statistici, testimonianza di un atteggiamento spesso riluttante, se non apertamente ostile, a investire nella diffusione dei dati elementari per la ricerca.
L’obbligo che proponiamo consentirebbe inoltre agli enti produttori o detentori di dati di iscrivere a bilancio fondi (minimi) finalizzati alla distribuzione delle statistiche e di proteggersi dalle interferenze della politica
Social Policy: One for All?
Full text linkTito Boeri jedan je od poznatijih i produktivnijih istraživača na području komparativne socijalne politike koji se ovom temom bavi prvenstveno iz ekonomističke perspektive, ekspert je pri mnogim nadnacionalnim organizacijama i član prestižnih istraživačkih mreža poput IZA i CEPR. Ovdje predstavljamo jedan njegov rad u kojemu kroz niz empirijskih nalaza propituje potrebu za snažnijom koordinacijom europskih socijalnih politika, počevši od pitanja o postojanju konvergencije europskih socijalnih modela, preko razmatranja efekta ekonomija razmjera u socijalnoj politici, te dosega fenomena socijalnog shoppinga i načina za nošenje s njegovim proturječjima, do uspostavljanja okvira za model ko-ompeticije, čije je postojanje tim potrebnije u kontekstu rastuće uloge migracija, kako unutarnjih tako i vanjskih. Usprkos tome što do sada nije došlo do masovnih migracija iz novopridruženih u stare zemlje članice EU, argumenti i analize koje Boeri izlaže vrijedni su pozornosti
Book review: unexplored dimensions of discrimination edited by Tito Boeri, Eleonora Patacchini and Giovanni Peri
Full text linkWhat mechanisms serve to maintain the gender pay gap and what other forms of discrimination persist in the labour market? In Unexplored Dimensions of Discrimination, editors Tito Boeri, Eleonora Patacchini and Giovanni Peri provide a comprehensive, empirically-driven interrogation of various facets of discrimination through data obtained from the USA, Spain and Italy. Ria Ivandic welcomes the book for opening up a highly important academic dialogue on previously unexamined aspects of labour market discrimination

Five minutes with Tito Boeri: “We don’t just need a welfare state in Europe, we also need a welfare union”
No full textAre Europe’s welfare states fit to meet the demands brought on by the financial crisis? In an interview with EUROPP’s Managing Editor Stuart Brown, Tito Boeri discusses the need for a ‘stress test’ of the European welfare state, why citizens in southern European countries have been much more susceptible to poverty during the crisis, and the role that EU cooperation should play in providing a more effective safety net for European citizens

Wage equalization and regional misallocation: evidence from Italian and German provinces
Full text linkItaly and Germany have similar geographical differences in productivity – North more productive than South in Italy; West more productive than East in Germany – but have adopted different models of wage bargaining. Italy sets wages based on nationwide contracts that allow for limited local wage adjustments, while Germany has moved toward a more flexible system that allows for local bargaining. The Italian system has significant costs in terms of forgone aggregate earnings and employment because it generates a spatial equilibrium where workers queue for jobs in the South and remain unemployed while waiting. Our findings are relevant for other European countries
Employment, Innovation, and Productivity: Evidence from Italian Microdata
Full text linkItalian manufacturing firms have been losing ground with respect to many of their European competitors. This paper presents some empirical evidence on the effects of innovation on employment growth and therefore on firms' productivity with the goal of understanding the roots of such poor performance. We use firm level data from the last three surveys on Italian manufacturing firms conducted by Mediocredito-Capitalia, which cover the period 1995-2003. Using a slightly modified version of the model proposed by Harrison, Jaumandreu, Mairesse and Peters (HJMP 2005), which separates employment growth rates into those associated with old and new products, we find no evidence of significant employment displacement effects stemming from process innovation. The sources of employment growth during the period are split equally between the net contribution of product innovation and the net contribution from sales growth of old products. However, the contribution of product innovation to employment growth is somewhat lower than in the four European countries considered in HJMP 2005, and the contribution of innovation in general to productivity growth is almost nil in Italy during this period.
Getting Europe to Work: The Role of Flexibility in Tapping the Unused Potential in European Labour Markets. CEPS Working Document, No. 250, 13 September 2006
Full text linkThe Lisbon strategy of 2000 sets the ambitious goal (among others) of achieving an employment rate of 70% overall, 60% for women and 50% for older workers within the EU-15 by 2010. Five years later, labour market participation has increased somewhat (overall from 62.5% in 1999 to 64.3% in 2003), but remains disappointingly low in the EU-15 (and even lower for the EU-25). This study considers the problems related to the flexibility (and thus efficiency) of labour markets in Europe, which leave too many outside the job market and fail to match the unemployed with job opportunities. Key questions that arise are how flexibility can be increased and how private-sector actors can contribute to improving the performance of labour markets. Thus, the study researches the development of labour market participation across the EU according to different types of occupations, along with age, gender and skill groups, giving special attention to the characteristics of the jobs held by ‘marginal groups’ at the edge of mainstream employment. It examines the issues surrounding the mismatch between unemployed persons and unfilled jobs, the different approaches of member states in responding to market fluctuations and the contribution of the private sector to re-integrating long-term unemployed persons on the basis of a case study
