Applying system dynamics to foster organizational change, accountability and performance in the public sector: A case-based Italian perspective

2010

The goal of this paper is to discuss the role System Dynamics (SD) can play to enhance performance improvement in the public sector. It is remarked how SD can help decision makers to properly perceive the boundaries of the relevant system underlying observed phenomena. To this end, three real cases are analysed to show how SD can facilitate a better understanding of the relationships between the political and the organisational system in the public sector, and how to promptly attain efficiency and improve outcome, given the constraints that the institutional and political systems constitute. The goal of this paper is to discuss the role System Dynamics (SD) can play to enhance performance i…

Individual control in decision-making and attitudes towards inequality: The case of Italy

2008

Power is commonly defined as the control exercised by one or more persons over the choices, behaviours and attitudes of another or others. In this paper we focus on a different form of control, i.e., the control that a person exercises on her own choices, behaviours and attitudes. We conceptualize this different form of control by using the Millian idea of autonomy freedom. We argue that the power required for an individual to be in control of her own actions is exercised through her level of autonomy freedom. Autonomy freedom is, therefore, instrumental for an individual to have self-control over her own life. We claim that the extent of autonomy freedom significantly affects an individual…

Western European Studies: Economics

2004

In this entry, we overview major developments of Western European studies in Economics in the last two decades. Given the richness of contributions in this field, we decided to restrict our discussion to three general topics: the theory of economic and financial integration; the economics of unemployment and the microeconomic foundations of market regulation. In the Section 1, we present the evolutions of thought on European monetary and economic integration, with particular emphasis on the discussion of exchange rate regimes, the role of policy authorities, and the cost–benefit analysis related to the establishment of a European monetary union. In Section 2, we examine some results produce…

Economia di Mercato, Investimenti Diretti dall'Estero e Corruzione nei Paesi in Via di Sviluppo: Ipotesi Teoriche e Prime Verifiche Empiriche

2006

Il saggio analizza i legami che possono intercorrere fra le restrizioni alle attività economiche e la corruzione nelle economie di mercato emergenti, e il loro impatto sui flussi degli Investimenti Diretti Esteri (IDE) all''interno di questi paesi da parte di imprese multinazionali. Si ipotizza che il livello di corruzione esistente in un dato paese sia in larga parte coctituito da una forma di rent-seeking interpretata come una risposta razionale da aprte degli agenti economici al contesto istituzionale in cui essi operano. Lo studio contiene una parte empirica volta a verificare se il livello di corruzione prodotto dall''attività di regolamentazione pubblica influenza i flussi di IDE nell…

Coercion

2004

L''analisi della coazione si rivolge a quei vincoli che viziano la volontà di un agente in modo tale che il suo consenso e/o il suo accordo non può essere considerato volontario. In questo quadro generale, gli aspetti della coazione emergono in contesti diversi: dai problemi filosofici che determinano le condizioni necessarie e sufficienti per la mancanza di volontarietà, all''analisi economica delle asimmetrie nel potere di negoziazione, fino ai contesti che riguardano le relazioni internazionali.
