Globalisation and the Decline of the Labour Share: A Microeconomic Perspective
No full textThis paper contributes to the infant literature on the determinants of the labour share at the level of individual firms and provides novel insights on the effect of firms’ patterns of internationalisation.
The analysis is performed using a rich dataset, covering six EU countries (Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Spain) and combining information from the EFIGE survey and Amadeus balance sheets. Our results show that the labour share is lower for exporting firms and for those engaged in foreign direct investments or offshoring activities. These findings are robust to an array of sensitivity tests. Our instrumental variable analysis indicates that causation goes from internationalisation to changes in the labour share. An investigation into the channels
of the negative impact of internationalisation shows that these effects are not related to the composition of the labour force, technological factors or firm market power. The analysis for subsectors of different technological regimes is consistent with this interpretation

Natural risk assessment and managment
No full text"Natural risk assessment and managment" is a chapter of the "Handbook on Urban Sustainability", edited by Nolberto Munier. A book which addresses the sustainable development of a city.
In particular Michela Tiboni deals with a subject rarely seen in the technical literature: Risk management. It refers to risks related with land uses, and as the author rightly states its aim is to reduce danger for human beings and the environment. Some projects are built on terrains that have characteristics that make then unsuitable for that kind of project. Others alter the natural flow of water during storms, paving the way to floods, and cave ins. Both can generate action-reaction response. This Chapter presents the necessary guidelines to evaluate a risk involved in the construction of a project. This is something that has to be carefully considered to avoid future consequences, which can turn to be catastrophic. Remember, most human activities modify the environment, and it is then necessary to evaluate the consequences of such actions
ACERCA DEL REALISMO PERSPECTIVISTA DE MICHELA MASSIMI
Full text linkIn Perspectival Realism (2022), Michela Massimi seeks to make compatible two positions usually presented as irreconcilable: pluralistic perspectivism and scientific realism. It is shown that the strategy adopted by the author in pursuit of the proposed objective is unsuccessful. However, this does not imply that both positions are decidedly incompatible. We put forward an alternative proposal that allows scientific realism and pluralism to be coherently reconciled. En Perspectival Realism (2022), Michela Massimi procura compatibilizar dos posiciones que, usualmente, se presentan como irreconciliables: el perspectivismo pluralista y el realismo científico. Se muestra que la estrategia adoptada por la autora en pos del objetivo propuesto resulta fallida. Sin embargo, ello no implica que ambas posiciones sean decididamente incompatibles. Se adelanta una propuesta alternativa que permite conciliar de manera coherente el realismo y el pluralismo científicos.
