Deep and Proximate Determinants of the World Income Distribution
2019
This paper studies the deep and proximate determinants of the evolution of the cross-country distribution of GDP per worker in the period 1960–2008 by a novel method based on an information criterion. We find that countries of our sample follow three distinctive growth regimes identified by two deep determinants, namely life expectancy at birth in 1960 and the share of Catholics in 1965, and that each regime is characterized by non-linearities. Growth regimes appear to be the main cause of the increased inequality and polarization, while technological catch-up, proxied by the initial level of GDP per worker, acts in the opposite direction. Finally, human capital marginally reduces polarizat…
Monetary policy and inequality from an inclusive and social banking perspective
2021
This doctoral thesis empirically evaluates the effects of monetary policy on income and wealth inequality in two of the main monetary areas of the world: the Eurozone and the United States. Moreover, in the case of the Eurozone, the interaction between the dynamics of income inequality and banking activity is evaluated, distinguishing between banking structures. Specifically, I empirically assess whether cooperative banks have a differential impact on the evolution of inequality with respect to other banking structures such as commercial banks or savings banks. Different macroeconometric (SVAR, Proxy SVAR) and microeconometric (simulations and estimations with panel data) methodologies have…
On the Porosity of Free Boundaries in Degenerate Variational Inequalities
2000
Abstract In this note we consider a certain degenerate variational problem with constraint identically zero. The exact growth of the solution near the free boundary is established. A consequence of this is that the free boundary is porous and therefore its Hausdorff dimension is less than N and hence it is of Lebesgue measure zero.

The paradox of endogenous poverty line in the poverty indices
2007
february 23-25, 2007; When measuring poverty, the poverty line is considered to be relatively determined as a percentage of the median income or as a percentage of the average income so as to allow international comparisons. The poverty line relative to the median income may be described as endogenous in contrast with the poverty line relative to the average income which may be described as exogenous because it is independent of the normalized distribution of incomes. As the existing literature is focused on the properties of the indices but not on the respective interest of the endogenous and exogenous poverty lines, this paper compares the two definitions of the relative poverty. The Rela…
Konstytucyjna zasada równości w kontekście przepisów abolicyjnych w ustawie Polski Ład
2022
Artykuł został poświęcony instytucji przejściowego ryczałtu od dochodów wprowadzonej ustawą Polski Ład. Jak wykazano, w istocie spełnia ona kryteria abolicji podatkowej i jednocześnie budzi poważne wątpliwości co do zgodności z konstytucyjnymi zasadami równości (art. 32 Konstytucji RP) i powszechności opodatkowania (art. 84 Konstytucji RP). W publikacji przedstawiono instytucję abolicji podatkowej, jej istotę i rys historyczny oraz normatywną konstrukcję przejściowego ryczałtu od dochodów. Analizie poddano także zgodność przepisów normujących instytucję przejściowego ryczałtu od dochodów ze wskazanymi przepisami ustawy zasadniczej
Esiopetusvuoden palvelukokonaisuudet lasten hyvinvoinnin ja yhdenvertaisuuden näkökulmista
2018
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, millaisia palvelukokonaisuuksia esiopetusikäisten opetuksen ja hoidon järjestelyt Suomessa muodostavat sekä tarkastella niitä lasten hyvinvoinnin sekä keskinäisen yhdenvertaisuuden näkökulmista. Hyvinvoinnin kuvaajina käytetään vuorovaikutukseen vaikuttavia tekijöitä sekä opetuksen ja hoidon pysyvyyttä. Tutkimukseen haastateltiin puhelimitse varhaiskasvatuksen esimiehiä kymmenessä eri kunnassa. Tulokset osoittavat, että kunnissa on käytössä suuri määrä erilaisia esiopetusikäisten opetuksen ja hoidon palvelukokonaisuuksia. Palvelukokonaisuudet eroavat toisistaan lasten hyvinvoinnin näkökulmasta erityisesti yksittäisen lapsen opetuksen ja hoidon pysyvyy…
Entre Communitas e immunitas: la profanación de la Comunidad Jurídica
2011

ABSTRACT Based on the link between community and violence, analyzes the immunitas and communitas categories of the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito to explain the possibility of an impolitic community experienced by the profanation

Differences between students' PISA reading literacy scores and grading for mother tongue and literature at school : A geostatistical analysis of the …
2016
In Finland, the national Core Curriculum for Basic Education defines the learning objectives along with the numerical grade to be given for good competence in each school subject in the final phase of basic education. While serving as a guideline for schools and teachers, it should also ensure an objective evaluation of all students in Finland. In this paper, we take a closer look at the equality of student assessment in Finland in the light of student performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2009. This study investigates the relationship between the grades given to students in mother tongue and literature at different schools and the same students’ reading l…
