Ecological and economic indicators for the evaluation of almond (Prunus dulcis l.) orchard renewal in sicily
2020
Globally, almond production is experiencing a growing trend thanks to a strong interest in the health, gastronomic, and industrial properties that are linked to the fruits and their derivatives. After a constant and marked decline in the second half of the last century, the Mediterranean Basin is thoroughly reassessing this crop, which provides significant results with a modern orchard management. The opportunity determined by the transition from traditional to modern systems have increased the interest in evaluating the different environmental impacts of the two cultivation models that still coexist today. In this work, through the application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and an econ…
Le due crisi: crisi del capitalismo e crisi ambientale. Una soluzione sostenibile? (parte II)
2016
Vista nella Parte I la gravità della crisi ambientale, soprattutto l’instabilità climatica che caratterizzerà le prossime decadi, nella parte II si esplicitano le ragioni profonde della necessità di cambiare, e come, il modello di sviluppo. Negli ultimi quarant’anni la crisi ecologica non è mai diventata una variabile importante nelle politiche economiche. Colpa del neo-liberismo imperante, dall’ “unilateralismo” dell’amministrazione USA al “fiscal compact” della UE? Sì, ma anche le altre scuole economiche commettono lo stesso errore. L’attuale crisi del capitalismo è una crisi di sovrapproduzione, il cui carattere quantitativo, dovuto all’innovazione tecnologica nel mercato globalizzato, r…
Island Development Model Specialisation: A Panel Data Analysis Comparing Evolutionary Tourism Model, Industrial to Community-Based (2010–2019)
2022
Islands are frequently characterised by an economic structure centred on tourism and the service sector. This specialisation has taken different forms and characterisations concerning the chosen or spontaneously developed model. To understand the development choices and patterns, this article analyses sixteen islands and archipelagos in the European Union over ten years from 2010 to 2019. A panel data analysis was based on critical variables identifying the tourism industry model from those that could represent a proxy of the community-based tourism model. The principal component analysis was adopted to compare the evolutionary trends of these two different ways of choosing the island’s tou…
Fiscalità di vantaggio, economicità dell'Ente Regione e sviluppo territoriale. Un'analisi economico-aziendale con riferimento al caso della Regione S…
2012
Il contributo analizza la tematica della fiscalità di sviluppo in un’ottica economico-aziendale. Dopo aver contestualizzato gli interventi agevolativi proposti dalla Regione Siciliana nel realizzando assetto federalista in Italia, si argomenta: sui vincoli alle scelte e alle decisioni dell’Ente Regione per il conseguimento di obiettivi di sviluppo territoriale e di condizioni di economicità; sull’identificazione degli strumenti informativi maggiormente idonei a produrre i dati ed a soddisfare le diversificate esigenze conoscitive per programmare, gestire e controllare efficacemente l’impatto delle misure di agevolazione adottate. E' inoltre riportata una schematizzazione degli “scenari” che…

Anagraphical relationships and crime specialization within Cosa Nostra
2021
Abstract The aim of the present work is to investigate the relationships established within Cosa Nostra, by making use of networks and complex-systems methods. The analysis is performed at three different levels, that is, individuals, groups within mafia syndicates, and relationships amongst mafia syndicates. The reported empirical analysis is based on the criminal records of 632 affiliates to Cosa Nostra selected from a set of 125 judgements emitted by the Palermo courts from 2000 to 2014. According to the criminal records of the Palermo Prosecutor Office, such a dataset includes approximately 10% of the whole population of Cosa Nostra affiliates in western Sicily. Furthermore, the vital s…
Modeling Return to Education in Heterogeneous Populations: An Application to Italy
2019
The Mincer human capital earnings function is a regression model that relates individual’s earnings to schooling and experience. It has been used to explain individual behavior with respect to educational choices and to indicate productivity on a large number of countries and across many different demographic groups. However, recent empirical studies have shown that often the population of interest embed latent homogeneous subpopulations, with different returns to education across subpopulations, rendering a single Mincer’s regression inadequate. Moreover, whatever (concomitant) information is available about the nature of such a heterogeneity, it should be incorporated in an appropriate ma…

Energy poverty in Italy
2014
Despite the existence of two targeted national programmes (�Bonus gas� and �Bonus energia�) in Italy there is no official definition of energy poverty (EP). The purpose of this study is to provide the reader with a set of indicators to fill this gap. We present a range of poverty measures which estimate that between 5 and 20 per cent of households was in EP in 2012. A selection based on qualitative criteria suggests the use of a low-income/high-costs indicator modified to include the economically vulnerable households with no heating expenses. According to this statistic the proportion of households in EP during the period 1997-2012 was broadly stable at around 8 per cent. Our simul…
Profilo Strategico e scelte innovative nelle imprese del settore manifatturiero siciliano
2013
In 1959, Penrose highlighted how the firm's organisation of economic activity is based on its perception about the adjustment of production to the market, more than on objective evaluation. So, she underlined not just the importance to identify the nature of the determinants about firm behaviour, but also how the assessment of these factors must consider the production context where they originate. Now, this context for Penrose has to be considered as an image in the mind of the entrepreneur of the possibilities and restrictions of the market. In line with this view, and with the recent approach to innovation policies, this work analyses the survey data collected in 2008 on the innovation n…
