Rol de la Economía Social y la Universidad en orden a un emprendimiento basado en el conocimiento tecnológico y los valores
2020
[EN] Objectives The present work aims to study the need for a more knowledge-intensive economy, especially technologically based, that allows to face the challenge of the so-called 4th technological revolution, contributing to the development of a more competitive society as well as with values. Thus, this work aims to do a revision of the reality of the spanish university and its role facing the technological challenge. In addition, it aims to make an analysis of the presence and weight of the social economy in the sectors most identified with the so-called fourth industrial revolution, to establish if there are economic and financial differences that explain the higher presence of the inv…
How Do Judgmental Overconfidence and Overoptimism Shape Innovative Activity?
2021
Recent field evidence suggests a positive link between overconfidence and innovative activities. In this paper we argue that the connection between overconfidence and innovation is more complex than the previous literature suggests. In particular, we show theoretically and experimentally that different forms of overconfidence may have opposing effects on innovative activity. While overoptimism is positively associated with innovation, judgmental overconfidence is negatively linked to innovation. Our results indicate that future research is well advised to take into account that the relationship between innovation and overconfidence may crucially depend on what type of overconfidence is most…
Product Line Choice in Retail Duopoly
2011
This paper develops a successive duopoly model to identify conditions under which differentiated retailers that compete in quantities, when deciding on the range of brands to offer, will carry overlapping product lines. They will do so when retail margins on each brand are not too asymmetric. Otherwise, the less profitable brand is foreclosed from the market. It is shown that welfare increases if the upstream industry is perfectly competitive, even though fewer brands may be sold. With price competition though, exclusive dealing arises when retailers are not too differentiated and in-store competition is sufficiently intense.

The The Land Cadastre in Italy and some fiscal implications: a case study
2023
The Land Cadastre, as an inventory of all relevant real estate in a territory, and most importantly, as a national tax system is, or at least should be, the protago-nist of fiscal, social and civil implications affecting the Italian context. According to unitary farmland incomes, the last revision dates back to 1978-1979, a period that no longer reflects the country’s current socioeconomic situation and does not consider the changes the land market has undergone over the years. Through the analysis of 183 purchases and sales of agricultural land in two districts in western Sicily, this research aims at verifying the adequacy or inadequacy of the current cadastral tariffs. Based on the price…
Valutazione ex-post degli incentivi alle imprese nelle economie territoriali: nuovi sviluppi

La pianificazione strategica nelle città del Mezzogiorno
2014
Un programma di incentivi lanciato nel 2004 dal governo nazionale ha consentito a diverse decine di municipalità del Mezzogiorno di avviare la costruzione di piani strategici per promuovere nuovi scenari di sviluppo sostenibile per le proprie aree urbane e metropolitane. Rispetto a questo quadro di esperienze ancora in corso di implementazione, questo articolo si propone due obiettivi: i) descrivere i modelli di governance adottati nelle diverse regioni del Mezzogiorno e, attraverso questi, com- prendere il contributo che i piani strategici possono fornire alle politiche territoriali regionali; ii) identificare alcune condizioni di efficacia per l’implementazione dei piani strategici in con…
Are there returns from university location in a state-funded university system?
2013
Abstract A location in an economically active, high-amenity region could in many ways be a significant advantage for a university and its students and thus could also be positively linked to students' subsequent earnings. Based on this hypothesis, the present study empirically examines the effect of university location choice on earnings in Finland, focusing on the following question: To what extent does the choice of university location explain the observed positive early-career earnings premium for students graduating from the Helsinki metropolitan area rather than from one of the nine other university cities? The results suggest that no positive average earnings premium exists for metro …
Agglomeration without trade: how non-traded goods shape the space-economy
2004
Abstract We develop a spatial general equilibrium model in which the absence of interregional trade is an endogenous outcome. Extending the model developed by Ottaviano, Tabuchi, and Thisse (Int. Econ. Rev. 43 (2002) 409), we show that equilibria without trade differ significantly from those obtained in the presence of trade, which suggests that the presence of non-traded goods has a significant impact on spatial structures. Somewhat surprisingly, equilibrium structures without trade are richer than those with trade because partial agglomeration becomes a feasible outcome. Equilibria now depend on the ratio of mobile to immobile factors and an increase in that ratio triggers a process of sp…
Effetti spaziali o settoriali? La crescita della dimensione media d'impresa in Italia
2015
Utilizzando una recente versione della shift-share con struttura spaziale, in questo contributo scomponiamo il cambiamento della dimensione media delle imprese nelle province italiane rispetto a componenti di natura sia spaziale (di regione e di vicinato) che settoriale. L’analisi, condotta con riferimento al periodo 2004-2009, mette in risalto differenze di rilievo rispetto la classe dimensionale considerata. In particolare, si registra una netta demarcazione Nord-Sud nella distribuzione provinciale degli effetti spaziali e settoriali se consideriamo le micro imprese (1-10 addetti), mentre la geografia appare molto piu complessa per le piccole imprese (11-50 addetti).
