THE EFFECT OF SOCIETAL COMMUNICATION ON CUSTOMER BEHAVIOR: EVIDENCE FROM THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE
2012
We present a simple model to estimate the effects on behavior of a group of societal campaigns, aimed at fostering racial equality attitudes. The activity of the Kick it Out is confronted with attendance of English Premier League games. The results support the idea that people weight benefits against results in appraising their willingness to adhere to a campaign. When the foreign player of their own team contributes to results, he is appreciated. At parity of results, the fans prefer players of their own nationality. This indicates that although the campaign may have changed attitudes, it has not changed behavior yet.
Ceti dirigenti, società ed economia del quartiere Kalsa nei secoli XIV e Xv
2013
Nel Trecento la Kalsa era un borgo marinaresco, come attesta la toponomastica, abitato da mercanti stranieri. Folta era la comunità pisana legata alla chiesa e al monastero di San Francesco. Il volto del quartiere cambiò profondamente quando i Chiaromonte s'insediarono alla Kalsa e vi edificarono un imponente palazzo, detto Steri. In seguito alla loro ascesa politica, il quartiere divenne una zona residenziale, dove vivevano famiglie alleate con i potenti signori. Dal censimento effettuato nel 1480 emerge la presenza d'importanti burocrati, giuristi e note famiglie nobiliari che costruirono eleganti palazzi in stile gotico catalano.

Perspectivas y políticas sobre la juventud en desventaja en España: un análisis desde el enfoque de capacidades Perspectives and Policies on Disadvan…
2015
Con la crisis en España, la juventud se enfrenta a una situación multidimensional de desventaja. En el artículo analizamos los puntos de vista de distintos actores sobre dicha situación, y cómo estas perspectivas se reflejan en el diseño e implementación de las políticas públicas. Realizamos un estudio cualitativo mediante una aproximación innovadora, el enfoque de capacidades, utilizando tanto revisión de fuentes secundarias como entrevistas en profundidad a 21 actores clave. Las evidencias muestran que las actuales políticas tienen una perspectiva limitada, centrada en la creación de empleo y que no considera las múltiples desventajas a las que se enfrentan los jóvenes hoy en día. Esto se…
Assessing the effect of transmission constraints on wind power expansion in northeast Brazil
2019
Abstract The rapid growth of the wind industry in Brazil presents new opportunities and challenges for its electricity industry. As new capacity becomes available, more transmission infrastructure is required for security of supply. The Brazilian electricity system has experienced congestion in the northeast region, affecting the coordinated expansion of transmission and new wind power capacity. This paper uses a simulation model for better assessing long-term policy synchrony of the wind industry. The simulation shows that the resulting prices are competitive in the middle to long terms.
Is more competition better? Retail electricity prices and switching rates in the European Union.
2022
The European Union (EU) promotes the liberalization of retail electricity markets to achieve lower prices, diversified offers, greater customer participation, and sustainable consumption behaviours. While retail competition has been a reality in most EU member states, most studies find that retail competition is suitable for large customers, but the evidence on small customers is inconclusive. We analyze data on electricity prices and switching rates in 27 EU member states and the UK from 2000 to 2019. We find that retail competition is associated with lower prices and that the effect of full liberalization is greater than that of partial liberalization.
More Choice for Better Choosers: Political Freedom, Autonomy, and Happiness
2016
A substantial literature finds that freedom in the sense of an expanded opportunity set is positively related to happiness. A contrasting literature, however, finds that an excess of choice can have socially undesirable outcomes. We test the effect of two types of freedom—autonomy and political—on happiness using five waves of World Values Survey data (1981–2008). We find evidence supporting the claim that equipping people with the tools to direct the course of their lives (i.e. increasing autonomy freedom) incentivizes the desire to investigate alternatives (e.g. political parties) before making a decision. The effect of freedoms on happiness is diminished in contexts where individuals hav…
Answers to the uncertainty from the workers in the Valencian textile and clothing sector
2013
La gestión política y empresarial de la liberalización del comercio de sus productos abrió a mediados de la década del 2000 una importante crisis en el sector del textil-confección. Una crisis especialmente aguda en las comarcas valencianas de l’Alcoià, el Comtat y la Vall d’Albaida donde no sólo la economía sino también el imaginario social de sus habitantes se ha construido tradicionalmente sobre este sector. Esta situación sirvió para la investigación que origina el artículo como metáfora de la percepción de la incertidumbre, entendida ésta como la falta de códigos válidos para dotar de signifi-cado los hechos que se viven en la cotidianeidad y en consecuencia la incapacidad para planifi…
Estrategia medioambiental de la empresa y rendimiento. El rol intermedio del aprendizaje organizativo: Un aplicación a las industrias minerales.
2004
Uno de los temas más polémicos relacionados con la incorporación a la gestión empresarial del condicionante medioambiental es su impacto en el rendimiento. Mientras unos defienden la existencia de estrategias win-win gana la empresa, gana el medio ambiente , otros anuncian que no es fácil ser verdes. Para buscar una explicación a este pensamiento dispar, consideramos la posible existencia de una o más variables intermedias que pudieran moderar incluso modificar esta relación.Los trabajos relacionados con el aprendizaje organizativo hacen atribuciones casi milagrosas a las learning oganizations. Estas organizaciones son poseedoras de una ventaja competitiva sostenible en el tiempo: la capaci…
Aspects and problems of changing economic utilization of the land in Italy and the corresponding soil consumption
2013
The study moves from the observation that, in the last fifty years (1961-2010) the territory of our country, like those of other countries with advanced economies, has undergone extensive economic processes of change in the use of land, mostly due to a strong reduction of Agricultural Area Use (AAU), whose consistency - on the basis of official statistics (National Statistics Institute) and, in particular, the results of the General Census of Agriculture - is estimated at around 7,8 million hectares, from 20, 7 million hectares in 1961 to 12,9 million in 2010. It should be noted in fact that the intensity of the processes of reduction of the UAA was much greater in the first three decades, …
