Effects of the Blair/Brown NHS Reforms on Socioeconomic Equity in Health Care
2012
The central objectives of the ‘Blair/Brown’ reforms of the English NHS in the 2000s were to reduce hospital waiting times and improve the quality of care. However, critics raised concerns that the choice and competition elements of reform might undermine socioeconomic equity in health care. By contrast, the architects of reform predicted that accelerated growth in NHS spending combined with increased patient choice of hospital would enhance equity for poorer patients. This paper draws together and discusses the findings of three large-scale national studies designed to shed empirical light on this issue. Study one developed methods for monitoring change in neighbourhood level socioeconomic…
Una Nueva Planta nella Sicilia di Filippo V: riforme militari per la “conservazione” e la difesa del Regno
2019
In 1701, in the aftermath of the ascension to the Spanish throne, Philip V began to design political and military reforms aimed at making administration more efficient and rationalizing the bureaucratic apparatus. This process had significant repercussions in the balance between the central power and representatives of local political powers who, in the delicate conjuncture of the War of Succession, redefined their participation within the Monarchy. This also happened in Sicily, where a large corpus of reform was directed to modify the island's defensive structure so as to guarantee the "conservation" of the kingdom and protect it from external and internal enemies, who worked jointly in su…

What determines the likelihood of structural reforms?
2015
We use data for a panel of 60 countries over the period 1980–2005 to investigate the main drivers of the likelihood of structural reforms. We find that: (i) external debt crises are the main trigger of financial and banking reforms; (ii) inflation and banking crises are the key drivers of external capital account reforms; (iii) banking crises also hasten financial reforms; and (iv) economic recessions play an important role in promoting the necessary consensus for financial, capital, banking and trade reforms, especially in the group of OECD-countries. Additionally, we also observe that the degree of globalisation is relevant for financial reforms, in particular in the group of non-OECD cou…

2023
Il saggio analizza la fattispecie del giustificato motivo oggettivo di licenziamento e i connessi rimedi (art. 18 post riforma '"Fornero" e d.lgs. 23/2015), ed evidenzia la lettura 'liberista' operata dalla giurisprudenza. The essay analyses individual dismissals for economic grounds and related remedies (art. 18 Workers' Statute after "Fornerno" reform and legislative decree no. 23/2015), and it highlights the neoliberal reading made by labour courts.

Structural reforms in a debt overhang
2014
We assess the effects of reforms in product and labor markets in a model economy featuring credit restrictions and pre-existing long-term debt. Both elements, which are core features of the current scenario faced by some euro area countries, combine to produce a slow and protracted deleveraging of the private sector and a persistent recession following a negative financial shock. In this environment, we show that product and labor market reforms may stimulate output and employment even in the short run, despite their defl ationary effects. Furthermore, by favoring a faster recovery of investment and collateral values, product market reforms bring forward the end of deleveraging and the exit…
Education in a crisis. Italy within southern Europe: Trends and the way forward
2016
El artículo analiza la reacción peculiar del sistema educativo italiano a la reciente crisis, en comparación con países dotados de un «modelo de bienestar Mediterráneo», como Grecia, Portugal y España. Analizando los principales indicadores estadísticos nacionales de los sistemas educativos –acceso a la educación, éxito escolar, equidad e inclusión de alumnos inmigrantes– se ha profundizado en las dificultades, pero también en la resiliencia del sistema italiano de educación. El análisis permite concluir que las prioridades en términos de reforma son: completar el proceso de autonomía escolar, completar el plan de digitalización, dotando todas las escuelas de TICs actualizadas, cambiar la j…
Licenziamento e rideterminazione della sanzione disciplinare nel lavoro pubblico privatizzato
2020
Il contributo, dopo un’analisi della disciplina sanzionatoria del licenziamento invalido nel pubblico impiego, prende in esame il nuovo art. 63, c. 2 bis, del D.lgs. n. 165/2001. La norma, che attribuisce al giudice il potere di rideterminare la sanzione in caso di difetto di proporzionalità, è oggi una peculiarità della disciplina del lavoro pubblico privatizzato. L’Autore ritiene che questa si ponga in controtendenza con le recenti riforme del lavoro in Italia, in quanto recupera importanti spazi alla discrezionalità giudiziale.
España inacabada. Organización territorial del Estado, autonomía política y reconocimiento de la diversidad nacional
2021
S’han complert més de tres dècades de vigència de la Constitució de 1978 i, per tant, ja es disposa de prou perspectiva per analitzar el grau d’eficàcia d’un model d’Estat, per alguns, gairebé federal i, per a uns altres, senzillament molt descentralitzat. D’altra banda, a Espanya segueix plenament obert el debat sobre Espanya. Sigui quina sigui l’opinió, la veritat és que el nostre antic problema consumeix una gran part de les energies col·lectives, condiciona àmpliament l’agenda política, genera notables tensions socials i projecta ombres d’incertesa respecte al futur. En aquest treball, s’hi presenta un balanç de les dues qüestions. Després d’oferir un resum breu del procés de construcci…
