Social Science Research in Southeast Asia : the Challenges of Studying Parliamentary Institutions
2019
This paper introduces the challenges of studying parliamentary institutions in Southeast Asia. My focus of research is in three countries’ institutions: national parliaments of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. While in Southeast Asia, it is widely known that studying issues of politics and institutions face challenges – compared to studying culture, for example, this view is arguably no longer valid, however with certainqualification.The comparison of parliamentary tradition between three countries – based on observation of the plenary session - reveals that the effectiveness of parliamentary works is related to parliamentary procedure, and even to the culture of work in the countries.

Public contracts in Italy: the failure of the anti-pandemic investments
2023

Design/methodology/approach – After an introduction focused on the EU legal framework on public contracts as implemented in the internal legislation, the paper will go deeper in …
Mannlige vernepleiere og deres yrkesvalg
2019
Myndighetene formulerte målet om et kjønnsblandet arbeidsliv for ti år siden. Graden av måloppnåelse for enkelte yrkesgrupper er noe belyst, men det finnes lite kjønnsspesifikk forskning innen vernepleieryrket. Formålet med denne studien har vært å undersøke og beskrive hva som kjennetegner mannlige vernepleiere og deres yrkesvalg. I tillegg har vi undersøkt hvilke faktorer hos menn som har sammenheng med å ta et bevisst valg om å bli vernepleier. Resultatene er basert på data fra SSB og en spørreundersøkelse blant mannlige vernepleiere (n=487). Tall fra SSB tyder på at aldersfordelingen blant mannlige vernepleiere kan være i endring. Andelen menn under 40 år ser ut til å synke. Studien vis…

Profit vs morality: how unfair is labor market discrimination? Results from a survey experiment
2019
Using an original survey-experimental protocol, we study the normative acceptability of the trade-off between immoral profit (discrimination) and costly morality (non-discrimination). We test the causal influence of three factors: i) the origin of discrimination, ii) the steepness of the morality/profit trade-off and iii) anti-discriminatory moral injunctions. Contrasting with past experimental and attitudinal studies, we find that a significant minority of respondents believe that labor market discrimination is acceptable when morality results in profit loss. We also find that the three tested factors have significant effects on normative opinions. Respondents are more likely to choose pro…
Ex-post evaluation of Territorial Integrated Projects in Italy: an empirical analysis at firm level
2013
This paper focuses on the evaluation of an incentive program for firms implemented in southern Italy during the last decade. In the framework of the policy instruments aimed to reduce territorial disparities, and to support local development, territorial integrated projects (TIP) constituted a new operational mode to implement the Regional Operational Programmes. A TIP is defined as a ?set of inter-sectorial actions, closely consistent and linked among them, which converge towards the common objective of territorial development and justify a unitary implementation approach'. The resources allocated for each TIP may be aimed at three types of interventions such as infrastructures, public act…
La gestione del demanio marittimo nella evoluzione del paesaggio costiero
2017
Le linee di costa sono da sempre il luogo fisico a maggiore gradiente di immaterialità, a più alta densità di valore esperienziale, a più elevata tensione localizzativa. Con specifico riferimento all’uso dei litorali, alla loro conservazione e valorizzazione, all’accesso a essi, in quanto commons e heritage-goods, l’articolo avanza alcune considerazioni generali che richiamano temi di pianificazione ampi e profonde questioni valutative. Lo studio proposto intende indicare alcune componenti strutturali (in senso paesaggistico), caratteristiche salienti (in senso assiologico) e potenzialità (in senso progettuale) del patrimonio costiero. Il lavoro prende spunto dall’osservazione di alcuni cas…
Manufacturing export performance and public capital: an analysis by country technology position
2021
The objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between public capital and manufacturing export performance. It also aims at investigating whether this relationship depends on the proximity of a country's technology frontier. To achieve this, we adopted a methodology that estimates the elasticities of public capital as a non-rival factor in a model that considers factor intensity as a mechanism of industrial development. We use an interaction model with panel data from 1999 to 2014 across 35 advanced and less advanced countries. Our results show that in countries far from the technology frontier, public capital accumulation is an element of industrial development as opposed to co…
Communist monuments: Cultural heritage or cultural nuisance?
2020
Pomniki Lenina, Dzierżyńskiego czy też te gloryfikujące Armię Czerwoną stoją w wielu miejscowościach w Europie. Są spontanicznie niszczone i usuwane z placów i ulic, przenoszone w neutralne miejsca. Zdarza się, że mają wartość artystyczną ratującą je przed zniszczeniem. Polska wprowadziła regulacje prawne nakazujące usunięcie symboli komunistycznych i wszelkich innych totalitarnych z przestrzeni publicznej. Przepisy te budzą dużo emocji w społeczeństwie. Artykuł jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy narody mają prawo do usunięcia niechcianego i kłopotliwego dziedzictwa. Aktualny kontekst historyczny, polityczny i kulturowy pomników gloryfikujących komunizm nie pozwala na pozostawienie ich w…
