Essays on current account imbalances
2017
Global current account imbalances and intra-euro area imbalances have been at the forefront of academic and policy debates for the last ten years. This thesis examines the determinants of current account balances and external adjustment. It consists of an introduction and four empirical studies. This thesis highlights the importance of institutional factors such as differences in national cultures and cross-country differences in the coordination of wage bargaining on external balances. The first study investigates the effects of deep determinants on current account balances. The point estimates are economically and statistically significant, suggesting that countries populated by Roman Cat…
Networks of knowledge among unionized firms
2008
We develop a model of strategic networks in order to analyze how trade unions will affect the stability of R&D networks through which knowledge is transmitted in an oligopolistic industry. Whenever firms settle wages, the partially connected network is likely to emerge in the long run if and only if knowledge spillovers are large enough. However, when unions settle wages, the complete network is the unique stable network. In other words, the stronger the union bargaining power is, the more symmetric stable R&D networks will be. In terms of network efficiency, the partially connected network (when firms settle wages) does not Pareto dominate the complete network (when unions settle wages) an…
El ejercicio del derecho a desconectar digitalmente del trabajo: su efectividad en las empresas
2020
El trabajador a distancia como cualquier otro trabajador que presta servicios por cuenta ajena en una empresa, tiene derecho a la desconexión digital. A fin de garantizar la efectividad de este derecho, el legislador hace una llamada a la negociación colectiva sin mayores concreciones en la normativa que lo regula. De modo que todas las empresas deberán disponer de una política interna de desconexión digital donde, previa audiencia de los representantes legales de los trabajadores, se regulen no solo los mecanismos que garanticen una desconexión digital efectiva, sino también las acciones de formación y sensibilización que la empresa promoverá para concienciar de esta cuestión. Ciertamente,…
Commitment and choice of partner in a negotiation with a deadline
2002
This paper analyses the effects of partially revocable endogenous commitments of a seller in a negotiation with a deadline. In particular, we examine when commitment is a source of strength, a source of inefficiency and when it does not affect the bargaining outcome at all. We show that when commitment possesses a minimum amount of irrevocability this crucially determines the bargaining outcome. In the bilateral bargaining case, commitment becomes a source of inefficiency since it causes a deadline effect. In the choice of partner framework, however, the deadline effect disappears and there is an immediate agreement and, moreover, commitment becomes a source of strength since it increases t…
Contrattazione collettiva e responsabilità dirigenziale
2020
The article describes the limits that the law formally assigns to collective bargaining in the matter of public managers’ liability before focusing on an analysis of the effects that contractual regulations have produced (and produce) in the general field of the allocation, revocation and renewal of senior positions. Based on this survey, the paper highlights the inconsistencies of some (both interpretative and de iure condendo) proposals, generally shared by a majority of scholars.
La funzione anticoncorrenziale della contrattazione collettiva nazionale di categoria. Nodi critici e prospettive
2021
Diversi fattori concorrano a destabilizzare la funzione anticoncorrenziale della contrattazione collettiva. Tra questi, la segmentazione delle categorie e la frammentazione delle rappresentanze hanno contribuito alla proliferazione dei contratti disponibili, divenuti oggetto di una vera e propria competizione al ribasso. Il piano su cui la crisi della funzione antidumping della contrattazione appare più immediatamente tangibile è quello salariale, acuendo, piuttosto che arginando, l’ormai dilagante fenomeno di impoverimento del lavoro. Il saggio, dopo l’analisi di tali aspetti, si sofferma sulle opzioni de iure condendo e sul loro contributo in un’ottica di riconquista della tradizionale au…
