A Note on Economic Impact of EFF on Sicilian Firms Performance
2018
Measure 2.3 of the European Fisheries Fund, in Sicily, claimed investments of fish firms in production capacity expansion and modernization of fish processing. Have these investments been effective in supporting the competitiveness of these firms and have they influenced the economic sustainability of the regional seafood chain? Proposed counterfactual analysis contributes to this assessment through a comparison of the business performance of funded and non-funded firms.
Labor Productivity Growth: Disentangling Technology and Capital Accumulation
2014
We adopt a counterfactual approach to decompose labor productivity growth into growth of Technological Productivity (TEP), growth of the capital-labor ratio and growth of Total Factor Productivity (TFP). We bring the decomposition to the data using international countrysectoral information spanning from the 1960s to the 2000s and a nonparametric generalized kernel method, which enables us to estimate the production function allowing for heterogeneity across all relevant dimensions: countries, sectors and time. As well as documenting substantial heterogeneity across countries and sectors, we nd average TEP to account for about 44% of labor productivity growth and TEP gaps with respect to the…
Place-based policy in southern Italy: evidence from a dose-response approach
2021
This paper evaluates the effectiveness at a territorial level of a place-based policy for southern Italy, that is, territorial integrated projects (TIPs). We combine classical counterfactual designs and the construction of a dose–response function to assess the impact of the infrastructural interventions on the municipalities involved in a target region (Sicily). The results are robust enough to show policy effectiveness on both the number of workers and the number of plants. In the latter case, we also identify a significant and increasing dose–response function highlighting the positive relationship between funding intensity and the growth of plants.
Opportunities, Risks, and Failures of the Retail System After COVID-19
2022
Covid-19 has had an impact on world food systems and has in some ways in the short term resulted in changing consumer habits. The research analyzed how the food distribution system reacted to the impact of Covid-19. The research highlights that the food distribution system has been able to react to the impact of Covid-19 by leading to security in the aprovigioment of purchasing

Il vizio del gioco: betting e gambling nella rete delle organizzazioni mafiose
2023
Attenuatosi negli ultimi anni il ricorso alla violenza come componente irrinunciabilmente necessaria del metodo tradizionale delle organizzazioni mafiose, soprattutto siciliane, è emersa una nuova consapevolezza, da parte delle cosche mafiose, del vantaggioso utile derivante dalla diretta gestione degli affari in determinati settori economici, che è pertanto prevalsa sulla tradizionale “lotta alla terra” e sul contrasto violento allo Stato e alle sue leggi, che caratterizzavano la Cosa nostra del periodo stragista. Ci si domanda oggi se la mafia, più che innervarsi all’interno dei settori economici e dell’imprenditoria locale, tragga enormi vantaggi da una “messa a disposizione”, che è fors…
Crisi finanziaria, intervento pubblico e marginalità
2012
L’economia dei flussi di cassa è il Leitmotiv di questi anni, e il denaro condiziona i comportamenti individuali e collettivi. Economie tradizionalmente solide entrano in crisi se non riscuotono la fiducia dei mercati, e le famiglie, come le imprese, difficilmente riescono a programmare il proprio futuro senza le risorse finanziarie occorrenti per le proprie attività. Nel complesso periodo che stiamo vivendo, è opinione diffusa che l’uscita dalla crisi economica derivi da cambiamenti epocali nell’organizzazione dei sistemi produttivi e finanziari nonché negli stili di vita, rivisitando il significato stesso di sviluppo economico. In tale contesto la marginalità finanziaria, intesa come vant…

Complexity traits and synchrony of cryptocurrencies price dynamics
2021
AbstractIn this study, we characterized the dynamics and analyzed the degree of synchronization of the time series of daily closing prices and volumes in US$ of three cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, over the period September 1,2015–March 31, 2020. Time series were first mapped into a complex network by the horizontal visibility algorithm in order to revel the structure of their temporal characters and dynamics. Then, the synchrony of the time series was investigated to determine the possibility that the cryptocurrencies under study co-bubble simultaneously. Findings reveal similar complex structures for the three virtual currencies in terms of number and internal composit…
