Il Tribunale del Real Patrimonio del Regno di Sicilia e la gestione di emergenze sanitarie nella seconda metà del XVII secolo
2020
Il Tribunale del Real Patrimonio del Regno di Sicilia nella seconda metà del XVII secolo gestisce integralmente e autonomamente le situazioni di emergenza sanitaria nonostante le prerogative attribuite al Senato di Palermo In the Regno di Sicilia, since 1575, the Senato of Palermo was a formal holder of important health skills for the whole island which, however, could have exercised only when in the event of a serious emergency the Tribunale del Real Patrimonio which exercised them ordinarily delegated them to him. This paper analyzes some situations of epidemic alarm in the second half of the seventeenth century in which the Senato is not allowed to exercise any power in health matters, a…

A Global Perspective on Effectiveness of Aid for Trade
2012
Recent global initiatives on debt relief and development assistance call for increasing aid for trade to the poorest countries. The paper applies a multi-country computable general equilibrium model to measure the effectiveness of alternative aid for trade categories. The findings show that aid for trade policies expand trade and alleviate international income inequalities in the recipient countries, that will benefit mainly from aid for trade adjustment and technical assistance.
Testing for Asymmetric Information in Insurance Markets: A Multivariate Ordered Regression Approach
2018
The positive correlation (PC) test is the standard procedure used in the empirical literature to detect the existence of asymmetric information in insurance markets. This article describes a new tool to implement an extension of the PC test based on a new family of regression models, the multivariate ordered logit, designed to study how the joint distribution of two or more ordered response variables depends on exogenous covariates. We present an application of our proposed extension of the PC test to the Medigap health insurance market in the United States. Results reveal that the risk–coverage association is not homogeneous across coverage and risk categories, and depends on individual so…
Nonlinearities in the Becker-Tomes-Solon model
2011
The aim of this paper is to explore nonlinearities in the relationship between parents and children earnings. We rst discuss a simple extension of the Becker-Tomes-Solon model accounting for nonlinearity. We then test the linearity of intergenerational transmission employing a set of 141 intergenerational mobility tables in 35 di erent countries at di erent time periods, and nd that linearity is rejected in 89 tables. We nally explore the correlation between the \strength of concavity" and income inequality. Our ndings suggest that more unequal societies tend to have a more concave intergenerational transmission process.
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…
