Mani verdi per la città. Scenari di agricoltura urbana multifunzionale nella Piana dei colli a Palermo
2015
L’agricoltura periurbana multifunzionale è considerata una strategia efficace per arginare il dilagare dell’urbanizzazione nelle aree rurali, contrastare la pressione urbana e al contempo rendere le città più abitabili e vitali. Dalla prospettiva urbana, le aree agricole intercluse sono soggette a maggiori pressioni da parte del mercato immobiliare e sebbene assolvano molteplici funzioni nei riguardi della città, non sempre sono riconosciute come infrastruttura naturale d’interesse pubblico, come bene comune da tutelare in quanto paesaggio agro-urbano e da collegare a sistemi ambientali più ampi. L’articolo esplora il concetto di agricoltura multifunzionale e lo applica ad un sistema di are…
Complementarity between human capital and public infrastructure in industrial comparative advantage
2021
The article examines the role of public capital as an infrastructure service in the acquisition of industrial comparative advantages. To achieve this in this framework, we develop a theoretical model highlighting the complementarity between public and human capital as a mechanism of industrial development, and test this idea using sectoral panel data from 1999 to 2014 across 35 advanced and less advanced countries. Our results show that the sustainable acquisition of a comparative advantage in the production of industrial goods can only be guaranteed by accumulating public capital and human capital. It shows that public infrastructure can only generate industrialization when it is made avai…
Il soft law e la resilienza del diritto internazionale
2017
While it is not international law, soft law has an influence on the creation and application of the latter and it is, therefore, relevant to international legal analysis. Moving from this premise, the present paper analyses the role and relevance of soft law in connection with some aspects of the recent development of the international society and international legal order: the emergence of new actors, the rise of problems requiring rapid, experimental, and highly technical solutions, and the need for a shift away from traditional consensualism in response to global public goods challenges. Its main argument is that, rather than sidelining international law in the regulation of internationa…
Alternative Systems: The Interplay between Criminal Groups’ Influence and Political Trust on Civic Honesty in the Global Context
2023
Individuals’ endorsement of standards of civic honesty is necessary for democracies to flourish. A critical driver of civic honesty is the relationship of trust between individuals and institutions. Research has yet to systematically assess the contextual factors that may moderate this relationship. In the present study, we examined the societal influence of organized criminal groups. Criminal groups operate as alternative systems of authority that erode the reliability of institutions' moral standards. We employed a new indicator that quantifies their societal influence to test the hypothesis that the association between individuals’ political trust and civic honesty would weaken in countr…
A convergent validity test within the payment card format using simulation techniques
2019
International audience; A convergent validity test is performed between two groups of versions of the payment card format. The first group, the classic payment card (CPC), asks respondents to report their willingness to pay (WTP) as a point from a list of amounts, and then treats each WTP response as an interval. The second group generates WTP data that may contain both single point and interval values. It includes the two-way-payment ladder (TWPL) (respondents have to tick amounts they would definitely pay and cross amounts they would definitely not pay), and point-interval payment card (PIPC) (respondents have to tick their WTP as either a point or an interval). The test is conducted usin…
Public Organizations and Local Rural Development : an Empirical Analysis
2005
This paper describes an empirical approach designed and adopted to analyze and qualify the role of some public agencies devoted to rural development. These public organizations operate as critical agents in managing local public goods within a complex relation system functioning on a rural area. On the bases of the experiences and observations made on a case study in Central Italy, it emerges an analytical framework deriving from the correlation of an objective and subjective perspectives in the evaluation of these organizations’ performances. From these correlations, it derives a model to empirically classify these agencies evaluating also their potentials in creating integration, condensa…
Cooperación condicional y tercer sector
2000
The following paper analyzes the problem of social cooperation in the provision of a public good from an evolutionary perspective. To this end we depart from behavioral programs as the basic building block for modeling individuals in the social interaction, which is based on a generalized prisoners dilemma. In it, a population of individuals follow a conditional cooperative program, which some authors refer as to morality, and that we will show that is equivalent to the application of the principle of reciprocity. It will be shown that the degree of cooperation, that is the individual contribution toward the provision of the public good, is positive although sub-optimal. Finally, if we comp…
Reciprocity, matching and conditional cooperation in two public goods games
2005
Previous experimental and empirical evidence has identified social preferences in the voluntary provision of public goods. A number of competing models of such preferences have been proposed. We provide evidence for one model of behavior in these games, reciprocity (or matching, or conditional cooperation). Consistent with previous research, we find that participants in the voluntary contribution mechanism attempt to match the contributions of others in their group. We also examine participants in a related game with different equilibria, the weakest-link mechanism. Here, in contrast, participants contribute so as to match the minimum contribution of others in their group.
Principio di costituzionalità e diritto del bilancio
2020
Il principio di costituzionalità è principio di struttura del modello italiano di garanzia giurisdizionale della Costituzione. Esso assicura la più ampia possibilità di sottoporre a giudizio di costituzionalità le norme di un dato ordinamento ed impedisce che il controllo di costituzionalità possa produrre effetti di maggiore o più grave incostituzionalità rispetto a quanto aveva determinato l’esercizio del potere normativo da parte del Legislatore. Il contributo mostra come il sindacato di costituzionalità sul diritto del bilancio si sia svolto al fine di assicurare la massima effettività del principio di costituzionalità rispetto alla Costituzione finanziaria e comeo ciò sia stato possibi…
La gestione del demanio marittimo nella evoluzione del paesaggio costiero
2017
Le linee di costa sono da sempre il luogo fisico a maggiore gradiente di immaterialità, a più alta densità di valore esperienziale, a più elevata tensione localizzativa. Con specifico riferimento all’uso dei litorali, alla loro conservazione e valorizzazione, all’accesso a essi, in quanto commons e heritage-goods, l’articolo avanza alcune considerazioni generali che richiamano temi di pianificazione ampi e profonde questioni valutative. Lo studio proposto intende indicare alcune componenti strutturali (in senso paesaggistico), caratteristiche salienti (in senso assiologico) e potenzialità (in senso progettuale) del patrimonio costiero. Il lavoro prende spunto dall’osservazione di alcuni cas…
