Evidence from the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake shows the importance of public grants in stimulating output following an economic shock
No full textIn 2009, an earthquake struck the region of Abruzzo in Italy near L’Aquila, causing over 300 deaths and substantial damage to buildings. Francesco Porcelli and Riccardo Trezzi present findings on the economic impact of the earthquake, particularly in terms of the role of reconstruction grants which were allocated to affected areas. They note that not every area which suffered damage by the earthquake was allocated funding and that these grants proved essential in stimulating economic output following the disaster. The findings provide evidence that interventions through public funding can be vital in enabling areas to recover following an economic shock

No full textChapter Capability e diritto del lavoro: non solo teoria. Dialogando con Riccardo del Punta
No full textThe paper is a tribute to Riccardo Del Punta, intellectual and jurist. The common thread is the use of Capability Approach in labour law which links the Author to his friend who passed away prematurely. The essay is also an opportunity to revisit the basic foundations of the Capability theory and the recent debate among international labour law scholars with regard to its possible use in the great transformation induced by the double (green and digital) transition
The impact of earthquakes on economic activity: evidence from Italy
No full textAlthough earthquakes are large idiosyncratic shocks for affected regions, little is known of their impact on economic activity. Seismic events are rare, the data are crude (the Richter scale measures the magnitude, but says nothing of the associated damages), and counterfactuals are often entirely absent. Using a geophysical methodology devised to gauge seismic damages (the so-called Mercalli scale), we study the evolution of output and employment following seismic events in 95 Italian provinces from 1986 to 2011 for a total of 22 earthquakes. Our identification strategy relies on ideal counterfactuals: ex ante identical neighboring provinces that only differ ex post in terms of damages. We show that following an earthquake, the observed contraction of output and employment is generally small or even negligible. In some cases, the net effect on output and employment can be positive because the stimulus from the reconstruction activities more than compensate for the destruction of physical capital. Finally, we show that the effects on economic activity are nonpersistent, do not spill over from the epicentral region to the neighbors, and tend to be reabsorbed within 2 years from the event
Tra geometria e architettura: temi del dottorato di ricerca
No full textQuesto primo volume della Collana degli Strumenti si apre con un importante contributo di Giangiacomo Martines che introduce il tema del rapporto tra architettura e geometria nel mondo classico, portando esempi e inedite testimonianze frutto della grande esperienza dell’Autore, maturata in anni di studio e di contatto diretto con i più grandi monumenti del mondo romano. Alla voce di Martines si accompagnano poi, in un contrappunto ideale, quelle di alcuni giovani studiosi, che in diverse occasioni hanno affrontato il medesimo tema. Carlo Inglese espone alcuni notevoli risultati della sua ricerca sui tracciati di cantiere nell’antichità; Beatrice Angelini illustra recenti scoperte sulla complessa geometria della scala a chiocciola del Bramante, in Vaticano; Daniele Di Marzio ed Erminia Sciacchitano propongono due ricerche bibliografiche, rispettivamente dedicate al disegno e alla geometria della foglia di acanto e al tema generale di questo volume. I saggi sono introdotti da uno scritto di Mario Docci, che illustra le prospettive attuali delle scuole di Dottorato e da altri di Riccardo Migliari, che introducono alle linee di ricerca seguite nella scuola romana.This first volume of the series of instruments opens with an important contribution of Feltrinelli Martines which introduces the theme of the relationship between architecture and geometry in the classical world, by giving examples and unpublished testimonies result of extensive experience of the author, gained through years of study and direct contact with the most important monuments of the Roman world. Martines is accompanied by the voice of then, in a perfect counterpoint, some of those young scholars, who on several occasions have faced the same issue. Charles English exposes some remarkable results of his research on the tracks of the yard in antiquit
Hypertextual Library Manifesto Version 1.0
No full textTranslation by Juliana Mazzocchi with the collaboration of Maria Stella Sagaria and Riccardo Ridi. The Italian version was published as Manifesto per la biblioteca ipertestuale. Versione 1.0, Bibliotime X (2007), n. 3, http://www2.spbo.unibo.it/bibliotime/num-x-3/ridi.htm. This manifesto is a bridge between two texts: The Digital Libraries Manifesto, written by AIB Study group on digital libraries (in AIB-WEB since December 2005 at http://www.aib.it/aib/cg/gbdigd05a-e.htm3),and the author\u27s book La biblioteca come ipertesto (The library as hypertext, published by Editrice Bibliografica in October 2007, contents and abstract available at http://www.bibliografica.it/catalogo/ridi-ipertesto.htm). It presents the 25 Theses and the 5 Laws of the hypertextual library
It is foul weather in us all / Riccardo Boglione
No full textRiccardo Boglione sent copies of Shakespeare’s The Tempest to twelve artists living in Europe and America, each copy in the language of the country of residence of the artists, asking them to leave the book outside to the weather for as long as they wanted. The pages from those mistreated volumes reconstruct a Frankensteinian version of the play. In an extension of the metaphor of the tempest, the author gathers a small collection of injured volumes, mimicking Prospero’s book. Simultaneously he produces a version of Shakespeare’s play that shakes notions of authority (who is the real author? The invited artists? The English Bard? Boglione? The translators? Bad weather? Time?) and aesthetics (the ‘work’ of rain, snow, wind, and sun transformed the text’s characteristics, giving it a sculptural dimension that obfuscates its literary one). At stake once again, the perpetual dualisms: objects and words, nature and culture, Old and New World.
