INDUSTRIALIZATION: AN ITINERARY RUINED BY EXTRAECONOMIC FACTORS. CASE STUDY: THE ROMANIAN ECONOMY
2012
How did the evolution of Romanian industry develop in the years after 1944 and until 1989? How about afterwards, during the transition from a socialist economy of Eastern European type to a generically defined market economy, when it failed to achieve socially desirable results, namely during the period 1990-2010? What was the actual content of the process, what was intended and what was actually achieved? In 20 years, how did the extra-economic factors influence - especially the political and social ones - a process, namely the industrialization, which had proved an undoubtedly positive experience around the world? These are the questions this paper aims to answer by examining the effects …

L’étude porte sur trois territoires de Gironde (France), situés le long d’un gradient d’urbanisation : la métropole de Bordeaux, le territoire périurbain du Créonnais et le territoire rural du Pays Foyen. Un diagnostic cartographique comparatif a été effectué à partir d’indicateurs socio-démographiques et économiques empruntés aux bases de données publiques (INSEE) pour caractériser les vulnérabilités territoriales et faire émerger des perturbateurs potentiels de la qualité de vie des personnes. Une enquête par questionnaire a aussi été réalisée (n=285 répondants) pour : i) identifier quels perturbateurs semblaient les plus problématiques en fonction des territoires, ii) mesurer le sentimen…
Motivation and personality traits for choosing religious tourism. A research on the case of Medjugorje
2013
Religion has long been a primary motivation for journeys and it is considered the oldest non-economic reason for travelling. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the reasons tourists choose to travel to sacred sites, with the specific aim of discovering relationships between personality traits and motivations for religious travel. Participating in the research were 679 Italian travellers to Medjugorje sanctuary, who completed the travel motivation scale and big five questionnaire. The results show that motivation is focused prevalently on the need for discovery in men and socialisation in women.

The hidden side of the Ultimatum Game: The role of motivations and mind-reading in a two-level one-shot Ultimatum Game
2015
The main aim of our study is to investigate the role of motivations and mind-reading in a two-level one-shot Ultimatum Game with three players. Our intention is to analyse subjects’ behaviour in both the responder and proposer roles. In the responder role, we found that the difference between the subjects’ expectations and the actual offers was the major factor that influenced their decisions and motivations in receiving money. In the proposer role, our results showed a significant influence of mind-reading, with a positive association between the fairness of subjects’ offers and the subjects’ expectations about the recipients’ willingness to accept. Although a shared concept of fairness ex…
The effect of reshoring announcement on company share price
2022
The reshoring trend has gained momentum among manufacturing companies, which increasingly decide to relocate their production activities back to their home country. In this article, we explore the relationship between the motivations guiding the decision to reshore and the companies’ shareholder value. Particularly, taking an eclectic paradigm perspective, we aim to understand whether the motivations driving the companies’ decisions to reshore explain changes in the shareholder value. Empirically, we built an ad-hoc database based on 370 reshoring decisions involving the USA as a reshoring destination and announced in the 10-year time window ranging from 2009 to 2018. Our results highlight…
A comparison between motivations and personality traits in religious tourists and cruise ship tourists
2017
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the motivations and the personality traits that characterize tourists who choose religious travels versus cruises. Participating in the research were 683 Italian tourists (345 males and 338 females, age range 18–63 years); 483 who went to a pilgrimage travel and 200 who chose a cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea. Both groups of tourists completed the Travel Motivation Scale and the Big Five Questionnaire. Results show that different motivations and personality traits characterize the different types of tourists and, further, that motivations for traveling are predicted by specific —some similar, other divergent— personality traits
