Un indicatore composto della qualità della didattica: dalle scale ordinali alle metriche di importanza relativa.

2008

Il problema della ponderazione nella costruzione di un indicatore composto, pur essendo determinante per il valore della misura sintetica, non trova ancora risposte soddisfacenti nell’attuale panorama della letteratura dedicata all’argomento. Un tentativo per la costruzione di un sistema di pesi è effettuato sulla base di un modello di regressione lineare multipla attraverso misure di importanza relativa. In presenza di regressori correlati l’usuale output del modello di regressione non è adeguato per fornire tali misure. Si fa ricorso ai metodi per la scomposizione di R2 e, tra quelli riscontrati in letteratura, se ne esaminano due: LMG e PMVD. Questi ultimi, entrambi basati su medie degli…

Building composite indicators in tourism studies: Measurements and applications in tourism destination competitiveness

2017

Abstract Composite indicators are useful tools to synthesize and monitor multidimensional phenomena. The aim of this paper is twofold: to offer the methodological foundations to build composite indicators in tourism and to evaluate a set of currently available composite indicators.

Their definitions, concepts and measures are analyzed and their evaluation is performed through the application of an original protocol. The results highlight that several methodological issues still surround the measurement of destinations competitiveness indicators. This paper provides tourism scholars and practitioners w…

La sostenibilità delle destinazioni turistiche: la misurazione per indicatori

2013

Tourism often has had (and has) detrimental outcomes on destinations but the need and the rele-vance of a sustainable development of tourism was only recently recognised. Sustainable tour-ism is a quite recent concept, derived by the notion of sustainable development; it is usually re-lated to environmental issues and particularly to natural resources waste. Wider definitions are now emerging in the scientific community including, usually, social and economic dimensions together with the environmental one. Although, the intrinsic multidimensional nature of sustain-ability and the high number of stakeholders to be involved in its evaluation (e.g. policy makers, administrators, local resident…

Sense of coherence and health among home-dwelling older people.

2010

Sense of coherence (SOC) is important for maintaining health. The aim of this study was to investigate if the SOC experience among home-dwelling physically active older people differs from that of hospital patients with the same age and sex. Data were collected with questionnaires and structured interviews containing Antonovsky’s SOC scale in an age- and sex-matched study group (n=160). Non-parametric statistical analyses were performed. No differences were found in SOC between home-dwelling individuals and patients. Ninety-five percent of the home-dwelling individuals perceived themselves as being in good health and 42.5% among the patients (p<0.001). SOC and disease were predictors fo…

Do Investors Care About Noise Trader Risk?

2011

International audience; The link between investor sentiment and asset valuation is at the center of a long-running debate in behavioral finance. Using a new composite sentiment indicator, we show that the conventional risk does not explain the abnormal returns of portfolios most sensitive to the sentiment factor. Our result supports the existence of a sentiment risk valued by financial markets. We also find that the firms more impacted by the sentiment risk correspond to difficult-to-arbitrage and hard-to-value stocks, e.g. small stocks, growth stocks, young stocks, unprofitable stocks, lower dividend-paying stocks, intangible stocks and high volatility stocks.
