DEALING WITH RISK IN AGRICULTURE: A CROP LEVEL ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL FOR ITALIAN FARMS
2020
Risk management plays a critical role in agriculture, which is particularly exposed to multiple and heterogeneous risk factors. In addition to the traditional basic risks that generally characterize any business venture, agriculture faces external factors, generally difficult to control and with a strong impact on farm profitability. These are firstly environmental (pests and diseases) and climatic conditions that affect the quantity and quality of agricultural production, but also the structural constraints of the agricultural market, which is characterised by a high degree of supply rigidity, price volatility and inelasticity of demand. This leads to the need to implement risk management …
How credit ratings affect sovereign credit risk: cross-border evidence in Latin American emerging markets
2017
This article builds upon previous literature by providing a better understanding of how contagion changes in bordering sovereign CDS emerging markets resulting from credit rating events. To that end, we follow the novel GVAR methodology using data from six Latin American emerging countries during an extensive sample period from 2004 to 2014. Our findings show evidence for the existence of significant and asymmetric cross-border effects. In particular, a competition effect is observed before the event occurs, indicating that non-event countries suffer (benefit) from upgrades (downgrades) in Brazil, Mexico and Chile (in Argentina and Brazil). In contrast, an imitation effect is observed after…

Covid-19, documento SIAARTI e gerarchie di cura: cambiamenti e comportamenti sanitari in Italia
2021
In periodi segnati da pandemie sanitarie e crisi economiche profonde, l’incertezza rende ansiosi, influenzando comportamenti singoli, collettivi. Il Covid-19 ha già provocato e comporterà una serie di mutamenti che in Italia toccano diversi aspetti e tra questi sicuramente si annovera il principio della cura, per cui l’uso delle risorse e le politiche sanitarie necessitano di un processo di analisi e approfondimento ad oggi non maturo. L’articolo pone sotto i riflettori un tema lasciato nell’ombra: il diritto alla cura e il principio di gerarchia che è stato applicato durante la pandemia (1). Pietra miliare è il documento della Società Italiana di Anestesia, Analgesia, Rianimazione e Terapi…

The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of cruise tourism in the Mediterranean ports of call for insular and non insular territories. By focusing on Daily Cruise Visitors behaviour and by analyzing the passengers spending patterns in this work, we evaluated the economic effects …
L’analisi delle politiche di riduzione dei cesarei attraverso il dynamic performance management: La valutazione del percorso nascita in un’azienda sa…
2018
Da tre decenni l'Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità considera appropriata una percentuale di cesarei tra il l 0-1 5%. Tuttavia, molti Paesi tuttora si trovano a fronteggiare valori molto più elevati e le politiche adottate dai decisori pubblici spesso mostrano di essere poco efficaci. Il presente lavoro prende avvio dall'analisi del percorso nascita introdotto in Sicilia e propone il ricorso all'approccio del Dynamic Performance Management per investigare le cause sottostanti l'andamento dei parti cesarei. Lo studio ha consentito di costruire un modello di System Dynamics, successivamente personalizzato con i dati di un'azienda sanitaria. L'analisi dei risultati delle simulazioni evidenzi…
Framing Caesarean Section Reduction Policies Through a Dynamic Performance Management Approach: A Maternity Pathway Case-Based Analysis
2017
The World Health Organization since the last three decades strongly encourages countries to reduce the caesarean section (CS) rate down to 10–15%. However, this goal nowadays appears still far from its achievement. Public decision-makers are indeed struggling to design and implement effective policies to reduce the CS rate. The literature provides a wide range of factors causing a change in the CS rate, such as the patient clinical profile and the healthcare service quality provided. Maternity pathway (MP) is considered a mean through which to standardize the cares and to reduce CSs. This study investigates the MP recently introduced in Sicilian local health authorities. Based on such an an…
