Dependency on un-captured GDP as a source of resilience beyond economic value in countries with advanced ICT infrastructure: Similarities and dispari…
2015
Abstract The majority of countries with advanced information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure have been experiencing extended stagnation due to an “embedded” trap in ICT advancement. However, certain countries have been able to sustain a high level of ICT- driven global competitiveness. This suggests that in these contexts there is resilience beyond economic value. Finland and Singapore can be considered countries of resilience with respect to ICT-driven global competitiveness because of their continued GDP growth despite the recession. While both countries share significant similarities including institutional strength in ICT, they demonstrate noteworthy disparities in the…

L’ACCESSO A UNA FELICITÀ DEL POSSIBILE
2021
Una lunga riflessione sul significato di accessibilità introduce il saggio, partendo dall’etimologia del termine, assecondandone l’evoluzione e il conseguente riconoscimento istituzionale, seguendone poi gli sviluppi che danno vita a due indirizzi distinti, contestualizzabili rispettivamente nell’ambito materiale della sfera fisica e nell’ambito immateriale della sfera culturale. Quest’ultimo è l’ambito che viene approfondito e riletto attraverso la disciplina del design della comunicazione visiva. Se al concetto di accessibilità fisica si associa quello di soglia che implica il superamento di ogni tipo di barriera, limite, ostacolo, consentendo l’annullamento di soluzioni di continuità tra…

A Note on the High Stability of Happiness: The Minimal Effects of a Nuclear Catastrophe on Life Satisfaction
2008
Using life satisfaction as a direct measure of individual utility has become popular in the empirical economic literature. In this context, it is crucial to know what circumstances or changes the measure is sensitive to. Is life satisfaction a volatile concept that is affected by minor changes in life circumstances? Or is it a reliable measure of personal happiness? This paper will analyze the impact of a catastrophe, namely the nuclear catastrophe of Chernobyl, on life satisfaction. I use longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study and especially information collected on a monthly basis which allows the researcher to study calendar effects. The following clear-cut results …
