Il percorso di attuazione dell’autonomia differenziata: evoluzione storica e prospettive
No full textQuesto numero di Economia Italiana è dedicato ai temi della “autonomia differenziata”, o del federalismo asimmetrico, la possibilità, cioè, che alcune funzioni attualmente svolte dallo Stato nazionale siano decentrate e attribuite ad (alcune) regioni assieme alle risorse per poterle svolgerle. Il federalismo asimmetrico non rappresenta naturalmente una novità nel contesto italiano, vista la storica compresenza sul territorio nazionale di regioni a statuto ordinario (RSO) e a statuto speciale (RSS). Ma la specialità attuale è un’esperienza da cui è difficile trarre indicazioni significative, sia perché le RSS sono per competenze e risorse tutte diverse le une dalle altre, sia perché il loro sistema di finanziamento è particolarmente generoso e di conseguenza non estendibile alle altre regioni senza rimettere in discussione la sopravvivenza stessa del paese

Legal status and voluntary abortions by immigrants
No full textWe estimate the effect of granting legal status to immigrant women on voluntary abortions. We exploit the 2007 EU enlargement as an exogenous shock to legal status for Romanian and Bulgarian women, considering Italy as a destination country. Using a standard Difference-in-Differences model, we estimate a decline between 60% and 70% in voluntary pregnancy termination (VPT) rates for the new EU citizens from the two Eastern countries. We also introduce a novel framework to separate the total effect of the enlargement into a “citizenship” effect due to (legal or illegal) migrants already present in Italy and a “selection” effect due to new flows of immigrants. We show that the findings are robust to several alternative explanations. The drop in abortions points to legal status as a way to empower immigrant women

Newborns' perceptual categorization for closed and open geometric forms
No full textThis study explored newborns' ability to perceive perceptual similarities between different exemplars of 2 broad classes of simple shapes: closed and open geometric forms. Three experiments were carried out using a visual paired-comparison task. Evidence showed that, after familiarization either to closed-shaped or to openshaped forms, newborns manifested a novelty preference for a novel-category rather than for a familiar-category exemplar (Experiment 1). This result could not be explained either as a consequence of the newborns' inability to discriminate
between instances of the same category of simple geometric forms (Experiment 2), or as a consequence of a spontaneous preference for the novel-category exemplars (Experiment 3). Overall, findings revealed that newborns are able to form broad categories of distinguishable geometric shapes by relying on the shapes'
perceptual similarity
Newborns' perception of Left-Right SpatialRelation
No full textFive experiments examined 79 newborns’ ability to discriminate and categorize a spatial relation, defined by
the left–right spatial position of a blinking object-target with respect to a vertical landmark-bar. Three-day-old
infants discriminated the up versus low position of an object located on the same side of the landmark-bar
(Experiment 1) and recognized a basic left–right spatial invariance of the object-target and the landmark-bar
in conditions of low (Experiment 2) and high (Experiment 3) perceptual variability of the object’s positions.
Additional evidence ruled out the possibility that newborns were unable to discriminate the within-category
left–right spatial positions of the object-target (Experiment 4) or made a categorical distinction based on spatial
distance rather than on categorical spatial relations of left of and right of (Experiment 5)
On time and money donations
No full textThis paper investigates the importance of two forms of ‘impure’ altruism (“warm glow” and reputational
concerns) as potential determinants of both time and money gifts. We first develop a comprehensive
behavioral model which accounts for both types of donations, as well as for decisions about domestic
and market hours of work. We then provide an empirical test of these drivers for giving using survey
data for Italy. Results suggest that, according to the theoretical predictions, proxies for ‘impure’ altruism
are important determinants of donations. Moreover, the unobservable determinants driving money and
time donations are positively correlated, suggesting a certain degree of complementarity between the
two decisions. Our findings also stress the importance of considering a behavioral model accounting for
a full set of time and income uses to better characterize individual decisions to donate
