2018
Presentation on why Asia is different from Europe and the USA from a corporate governance perspective: weak formal institutions (e.g. law enforcement), diverse informal institutions (e.g. in terms of social elite) and with institutional dynamism (ongoing development of regulations, e.g. privatization) using economic liberalization as primary engine of growth.
L'orario di lavoro nel diritto dell'Unione Europea
2015
L’articolo analizza la normativa europea in materia di orario di lavoro (dir. 2003/88/CE) per come interpretata dalla Corte di Giustizia. Più in particolare vengono discusse le nozioni di orario e tempi di lavoro e la regolamentazione di ferie, lavoro notturno, riposi giornalieri e settimanali, e le discipline speciali; specifica attenzione è dedicata alle deroghe che secondo la direttiva possono essere apportate dall’autonomia collettiva ed individuale alla disciplina legale, per sottolineare come il diritto dell’Unione abbia determinato una marcata liberalizzazione dei tempi di lavoro. The present work analyses the EU legislative framework on working time (dir. 2003/88/EC) and the related…
Is more competition better? Retail electricity prices and switching rates in the European Union.
2022
The European Union (EU) promotes the liberalization of retail electricity markets to achieve lower prices, diversified offers, greater customer participation, and sustainable consumption behaviours. While retail competition has been a reality in most EU member states, most studies find that retail competition is suitable for large customers, but the evidence on small customers is inconclusive. We analyze data on electricity prices and switching rates in 27 EU member states and the UK from 2000 to 2019. We find that retail competition is associated with lower prices and that the effect of full liberalization is greater than that of partial liberalization.

International trade and internal geography revisited
2003
Trade liberalization and trade policy obviously affect the internal distribution of economic activities within a liberalizing country. We show that the impact of decreasing international trade costs on the regional distributionof economic activities crucially depends on the value of transport costs internalto the country. Trade liberalization in developing countries with poor internal infrastructures and small volumes of interregional trade is likely to increase regional disparities, while developed countries with good internalinfrastructures and large volumes of interregional trade are likely to experienceredispersion. We argue that the way transport and trade costs are modeledmight have a…
L'attività normativa del governo nel periodo 2017-2019
2022
L’articolo descrive l’attività normativa del governo nel periodo 2017-2019. Per quanto riguarda le procedure di programmazione e revisione della spesa pubblica, le riforme del 2016 finalizzate alla riduzione della spesa dei Ministeri hanno trovato applicazione solo nel 2017, mentre nel 2018 e nel 2019 ulteriori risparmi sono stati conseguiti mediante apposite previsioni delle leggi di bilancio. Le principali innovazioni in materia di liberalizzazione sono state portate a termine nel 2017, mentre non vi sono stati interventi rilevanti nel biennio successivo. Per quanto concerne il decentramento di funzioni amministrative, non si sono riscontrati progressi. Le politiche di privatizzazione son…

LA PROFESSIONE DI AGENTE SPORTIVO NELL’ORDINAMENTO ITALIANO A CONFRONTO CON LA NORMATIVA FEDERALE E IL DIRITTO ANTITRUST
2018
This article concerns the profession of Sports Agent, introduced in the Italian legal system by the recent Law of Stability 2018 (L. 27th december 2017, no. 205, art. 1, par. 373), which has established the “National Register of Sports Agents” under the supervision of CONI. The legislator has therefore newly regulated a profession, until now regulated only within the sports system, providing for it specific requirements and limits to its exercise related to passing an exam and registration in the above mentioned register. This regulation induces a critical analysis with regard, on one hand, to its incidence in the sports legal system and, generally, to the relations between the latter and t…
ES un ASV tirdzniecības attiecību un nākotnes scenāriju analīze
2021
Šī pētījuma mērķis ir uzsvērt ES un ASV tirdzniecības dinamiku un paredzēt tās gaidāmos scenārijus. Metodoloģija ietver teorētisko un empīrisko analīzi. Pārbaudot tirdzniecības ietekmējošos faktorus, tiek sadalītas OLS regresijas no tirdzniecības smaguma modeļa, lai pārbaudītu šādus piecus mainīgos: TTIP sarunu process, IKP uz vienu iedzīvotāju, kopējā zemes platība, FDI un kopīgā valoda. Kopējais novērojums ir 308, aptverot ES-28 un ASV laikposmā no 2009. līdz 2019. gadam. Regresijas rezultāti liecina, ka, izņemot FDI, pārējie četri pārējie mainīgie nav korelēti ar tirdzniecības plūsmu. ES un ASV tirdzniecības prognozes ir noteiktas divos virzienos. Viens no tiem sagaida tirdzniecības plūs…
