A New Spatial Shift‐Share Decomposition: An Application to Tourism Competitiveness in Italian Regions
2020
The paper proposes a new version of spatial shift-share decomposition to improve on the various approaches to conventional shift-share analysis found in the literature. The novelty of our proposal is that it enables researchers to assess spatial competitiveness effects controlling for the influence of industrial specialization at both regional and neighborhood level. This new version is applied to inbound tourism in Italian regions and enables us to identify the best and worst performers. Our empirical results identify favorable scenarios in some areas of the country, such as Sardinia as well as regional advantage in a sizeable number of well-known destinations.
Piani strategici sul turismo delle regioni italiane: un’analisi comparativa
2021
In Italy, the recent constitutional reforms have given regional administrations an increasing weight over government and tourism regulation. Therefore, observing the regions' Strategic Plans represents a valuable model for understanding the Italian tourist reality. For this reason, the article proposes a comparison of the tourist planning documents of the Italian regions, recalling indicators extracted from the paper of the UNWTO - World Tourism Organization - on the policies and objectives of spatial tourism planning. The article analyses the strategic plans through a synthesis indicator, which compares the main items considered in the regional strategies and their presence in the general …
La programmazione del turismo delle regioni e la Regione Toscana
2022
With reference to the functions attributed to municipalities and provinces, the Tuscany Region has maintained a central role of planning and coordination of activities in the tourism sector. Local authorities and the various territorial levels of the trade associations of undertakings and workers are also formally involved in the preparation of regional planning. For this purpose, some regions have set up consultation tables to involve all public and private stakeholders in the sector. The article delves into the modalities of tourism planning, highlighting the training process and the laws of reference.
L'Economia del Turismo della Regione Toscana
2022
Analysis of the tourism economies of a region is relevant for determining the policies and effects of tourism on the productive and economic system. For the Tuscany region, the main economic indicators are analysed using panel data and checking their development and growth dynamics. The article analyses data on tourism spending, balance of payments and impacts, with reference to both ISTAT data and estimates of ignored tourism in the region.
Un’opportunità per Lampedusa: studio di un eco-quartiere turistico per la riattivazione dell’isola
2014
In un momento storico in cui ogni territorio, soprattutto se fragile o marginale, è sottoposto a pressioni che solo cinquanta anni fa erano inimmaginabili, ci si deve muovere nell’intento di gestire la realtà odierna e offrire un nuovo scenario sapientemente costruito tra tutela e innovazione. Una strategia centrata sul corretto riuso del patrimonio edilizio radicato e la riqualificazione e valorizzazione degli spazi pubblici deve svilupparsi in un quadro di ricucitura dell’esistente che tenga conto non solo delle componenti fisiche e spaziali ma anche culturali, storiche e delle tradizioni locali. I resti di un trascorso complesso, gli elementi che ancora non sono scomparsi per sempre devo…
Siracusa e la Sicilia nel III secolo a.C.: problemi conoscitivi e proposte di lettura dei fenomeni urbanistici e architettonici
2017
L’evoluzione sotto il profilo urbanistico e architettonico delle città di Sicilia nel III secolo a.C. può essere compresa solo a partire da un esame delle evidenze di Siracusa, la maggiore città dell’Occidente greco-ellenistico e capitale di un regno che sotto Agatocle e soprattutto sotto Ierone II vede un prodigioso sviluppo non solo per l’estensione dell’area urbana, ma soprattutto per la riconfigurazione dello spazio cittadino in forme innovative, destinate a influenzare in maniera decisiva anche le città minori del regno e dell’Oriente dell’isola, e successivamente anche dei comprensori centro-occidentali e settentrionali. L’aspetto più importante e programmatico nella rimodulazione del…
Data from: Optimizing management to enhance multifunctionality in a boreal forest landscape
2016
1. The boreal biome, representing approximately one third of remaining global forests, provides a number of crucial ecosystem services. A particular challenge in forest ecosystems is to reconcile demand for increased timber production with provisioning of other ecosystem services and biodiversity. However, there is still little knowledge about how forest management could help solve this challenge. Hence, studies that investigate how to manage forests to reduce trade-offs between ecosystem services and biodiversity are urgently needed to help forest owners and policy-makers take informed decisions. 2. We applied seven alternative forest management regimes using a forest growth simulator in a…
Configurational theory in traditional manufacturing industries: a new model of high-performing small and medium-sized enterprises
2020
The goal of this study is to provide a model of high-performing small and medium-sized companies to address the new environmental challenges in traditional manufacturing industries. Adopting a configurational logic and following an inductive approach based on four high-performing firms, this paper provides new empirical evidence on how the steps followed by these firms are adjusted to the high-performance models prescribed by the literature. In doing so, it also offers a dynamic view of the interrelationships between the strategy and the new conditions of the environment. At a practitioner level, the paper illustrates which recipes are more appropriate to prescribe recommendations for a mor…
Konfigurowanie granic gatunkowych a problem polityczności. Przypadek posthumanizmu i transhumanizmu
2017
Przedmiotem artykułu są teoriopolityczne rozważania na temat posthumanizmu. Jest to podejście, które zrywa z humanistycznym dogmatem, że człowiek jest bytem najważniejszym w rzeczywistości. Zamiast tego posthumanizm dowartościowuje byty pozaludzkie (naturalne, sztuczne, rzeczy), z którymi ludzie wchodzą w rozmaite interakcje. Autor uznał, że problematyka posthumanistyczna może być rozpatrywana w perspektywie biopolityki, która zajmuje się relacjami między polityką a życiem. Jednakże w odróżnieniu od wcześniejszych ujęć wiążących biopolitykę z kontrolą populacji posthumanizm stawia na szali żywotność gatunkową. W artykule przedstawiono konsekwencje takiego myślenia dla problemu polityczności…
Asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across US states
2019
This paper provides new empirical evidence of the asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across regions. Using a measure of unanticipated changes in the Fed's policy rates over the period 1969Q3–2008Q4 and a local projection method extended to account for spatial effects, we find that monetary policy tightening leads to a long-lasting decrease in states' real personal income, with asymmetric effects across states that are amplified by spatial spillovers. The paper then investigates the role played by several transmission channels finding larger contractionary effects of monetary policy tightening in states with higher manufacturing share, smaller firms, smaller banks and higher house …
