Le infiltrazioni mafiose nel settore del gaming italiano: un’analisi empirica
2016
Il gioco d’azzardo rappresenta un fenomeno in continuo mutamento, di crescente complessità e di non facile controllo, con impatti talvolta imprevedibili sull’individuo, sull’azienda, sull’economia di una nazione, sulla criminalità organizzata, sull’intera collettività. In particolare, gli autori riportano nel contributo delle considerazioni sul metodo attraverso il quale la mafia effettua le sue infiltrazioni nel settore del gioco d'azzardo. Nel contributo si evidenzia inoltrela relazione quantitativa esistente tra l’esercizio abusivo del gioco e delle scommesse e il fenomeno delle associazioni di tipo mafioso. Infine, verranno tratte alcune considerazioni sintetiche sui deficit istituziona…
MACROECONOMI EFFECTS OF PUBLIC HEALTH EXPENDITURE IN THE UNITED STATES

Short-run and long-run persistence of bad health among elderly
2019
We study the health dynamics among older Americans using ten waves of the Health and Retirement Study following a spell-approach and a regression-based approach. The former is fully non parametric synthesizing the sequences of health status into a Health Persistence Index. The latter approach relies on a Latent Markov (LM) model capturing persistence in poor health by modelling time-varying unobserved heterogeneity. Our results show that only few elders experiences persistently a poor health status. The higher values of the index are consistently observed with the main socio-demo-economic risk factors. Moreover LM model indicates the existence of three unobserved groups differing in their p…
Liberalizing Immigration Policies for the UK Agricultural Sector in the Post-Brexit Era
2022
We investigate the effects of immigration policies on the UK agricultural sector under the new post-Brexit deal through a computable general equilibrium framework. We consider bilateral flows of migrants and frictions as part of capital and labor mobility to compare the point-based immigration system to open immigration policies in terms of their impacts on agriculture. We also integrate the GTAP-GMig2 immigration model with the GTAP-AGR agriculture model. Our findings show that liberal immigration policies have positive effects on production, farmers’ income, and overall welfare. The benefits increase if these policies are combined with reduced bureaucracy and lower behind-the-border costs…
Accounting for Interdependent Risks in Vulnerability Assessment of Refugees
2020
The United Nations’ Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF) of refugees encompasses a set of indicators of the living conditions in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan; it assumes the independence among its components. In this paper we maintain the importance to account for existing interdependencies, and provide a definition of vulnerability for high income countries. The proposed “vulnerability scale”, based on the estimated joint risk of social isolation, economic deprivation and bad health, is a useful tool to address interventions toward selected groups of more vulnerable refugees. Analyses are based upon the survey of refugees carried on in Germany in 2016. Germany is the first count…

THE CAROUSEL VALUE-ADDED TAX FRAUD IN THE EUROPEAN EMISSION TRADING SYSTEM
2012
n this article, we analyse the effects of the carousel value-added tax fraud in the European carbon market and the legislative measures that the EU Member States could adopt to deal with this phenomena. We use a computable general equilibrium model, called GTAP-E and the version 6 of the GTAP database to evaluate the economy-wide and terms of trade effects. The policy test has been designed for five European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. According to our findings, the legislative measures aimed to remove the VAT fraud in the European Emission Trading System will have positive effects in terms of GDP and welfare in the selected EU Member Stat…
