Il principio di equivalenza delle condizioni
2018
Il principio di equivalenza delle condizioni sancito dall'art. 41 c.p. completa la ricezione da parte dell'ordinamento italiano del modello causale della condicio sine qua non. Tale principio conosce però il temperamento offerto dalla causa prevalente di cui all'art. 41, comma 2, c.p. grazie al quale le valutazioni squisitamente giuridiche riescono a prevale sulle risultanze dello stretto giudizio causale. Il saggio indaga il contenuto e i criteri di tale correzione del giudizio causale. The principle of equivalence of conditions enshrined in art. 41 c.p. completes the reception by the Italian Legal System of the causal model of the condicio sine qua non. However, this principle knows the t…
A Macroeconomic Analysis of Regional Migration in Finland, 1975-95
1999
This study analyzes regional migration in the 85 Finnish subregions during the period 1975-95 using data on net in-migration rates. Both cross-section and panel data methods are employed. The regression analysis reveals that the direction of net in-migration flows can be explained by a set of regionally differing characteristics. Unemployment rates, tax rates, and the share of primary production affect net in-migration negatively, whereas the share of higher education and the growth of regional incomes have a positive effect. This indicates that regional disparities may not be alleviated by migration, but there is some evidence for a cumulative causation growth pattern induced by net in-mig…
Mental Contents in a World of Causes
1995
A fundamental issue in cognitive science is whether mental contents are causally efficacious and, therefore, should be preserved in scientific psychology. In this paper, we pursue some aspects of this issue by examining Fred Dretske's recent contributions to it. He defends the causal efficacy of mental content *qua* mental content, but imposes an important constraint: mental contents can operate as structuring, but not as triggering causes. We shall argue, by contrast, that mental contents can also intervene as triggering causes.
Role of Foreseeability in Imposition of Civil Liability
2021
The purpose of this article is to offer an insight into the role of foreseeability in imposition of civil liability. The article contains analysis of the principle of foreseeability from various points of view, for example, by analysing it from the perspective of the general (fault-based) model of liability as well of the strict liability. Likewise, the article analysis the role of foreseeability during determination of preconditions to civil liability, for example, by introducing it into the concepts of “fault” and “causation”. The aspects referred to in this article are predominantly analysed from the theoretical perspective. The article references various legal sources from different co…

Entrepreneurs (novices vs. experts) and investors: Interaction and rationality dynamics (effectual vs. causal)
2019
The paper studies the mechanisms that govern the interactions between the entrepreneur (novice or expert) and the specific investors of emerging firms (business angels (BAs) and venture-capital firms (VCs)). Combining both literatures on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial finance, our aim is to understand if the rationalities of these three actors help them or not to interact, and, to study how they influence each other during the firm's growth. In order to do so, we undertake two processual case studies. Our results show that effectual rationality underlines the interaction between the entrepreneur and the BAs at the creation of the firm, whilst causal rationality is helpful in the searc…
Causation and Effectuation in the Foreign Market Entry and Selection of Software SMEs
2012
Current research emphasizes several factors impacting on SME internationalization. However, it remains unclear that how entrepreneurs in SMEs think and implement their internationalization and select target countries for foreign operations. In this qualitative case study, foreign market selection and entries of five Finnish software firms are analyzed by using the theory of causation and effectuation. The findings imply that software SMEs used more causation logic in their foreign market selection and effectuation logic in their foreign market entries. The case firms that followed causation logic in FMS entered more distant countries. peerReviewed
Effectuation in an entrepreneurial creation setting : an action case study
2014
Entrepreneurial effectuation, a concept presented by Saras Sarasvathy (2001), is currently among the hot topics of entrepreneurship research and discussion. Being a relatively new concept, the research approaches and methodological choices have been relatively limited in number and focus. Furthermore, the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) context, especially the small busi-nesses have not been addressed despite their apparent crucial role in new product and venture creation processes. This qualitative case study focuses on a single creation process of a potential new product in an entrepreneurial small business setting. Through the conven-tions of action research, the aim is to unders…
On the semantic interpretation of complex causatives in Finnish: An experimental morphology approach
2009
It is well documented that in some languages, such as in Finnish, it is possible to stack derivational morphemes iteratively to word stems. However, such complex words are seldom used in real communication, and it is unclear whether they are interpreted compositionally in tandem with their morphological structure. Here I studied the matter by eliciting semantic interpretations from ten native speakers of Finnish for words whose complexity and morphemic content were systematically varied. The results show that although the frequency of semantic interpretation decreases linearly as a function of the number of morphemes in a word (contrary to the case of ungrammatical words where the semantic …
