PERCHE' INVESTIRE IN SICILIA: I PROFILI FISCALI

Analisi dei rapporti tra finanza innovativa e distretti tecnologici. Il contributo delle banche locali nei distretti Italiani
2011
Questa Capitolo s’inserisce nell’ambito delle ricerche sui sistemi regionali di innovazione ed in particolare sui distretti tecnologici cercando di approfondire il ruolo che in essi svolge la finanza innovativa. La prima parte propone una rassegna della letteratura più recente volta a delineare un quadro interpretativo dei distretti tecnologici. La seconda parte contiene un’analisi econometrica di tipo panel su un campione di banche locali per individuare quali componenti afferenti alla struttura, alla rischiosità della loro clientela, all’efficienza tecnico-operativa e alla loro solvibilità abbiano avuto maggiori ricadute sulla capacità di diversificare il sistema di offerta. La terza par…
Estrategias icónicas en las comedias mitológicas de Calderón
2015
El artículo explora el tópico horaciano «ut pictura poiesis», que tan buenos resultado ha ofrecido sobre el análisis de los textos calderonianos, pero no solo: también incorpora la relación de otras artes (música, escenografía, etc.) para estudiar el complejo entramado de las comedias mitológicas de Calderón que fueron representadas en entornos cortesanos. De este modo, la autora rastrea las interacciones artísticas existentes entre obras de destacada importancia como la fiesta palaciega “La fiera, el rayo y la piedra”, “La púrpura de la rosa” o “El hijo del sol, Faetón”. This paper explores the Horacian topic «ut pictura poiesis» which has offered such good results on the analysis of calde…
Information and Communication Technology as a Differentiation Tool in Restaurants
2014
Hospitality companies implement various communication and information technologies to improve efficiency and customer service, among other aspects. However, the literature has paid little attention to investment in technology by restaurants. Therefore, this article aims at testing the use of technology as a differentiation instrument by restaurants. As a result of this analysis for a sample of 150 restaurant owners or managers, these findings allow the identification of the specific technology solutions that make the difference across restaurants and, thus, to infer the information and communication technologies that should be prioritized by restaurant owners/managers depending on their res…
Diseño y validación de un instrumento para analizar 'las otras imágenes' en los libros de texto de Educación Física
2016
Esta investigación tiene como objeto elaborar un instrumento que permita el análisis de las imágenes, de los libros de texto de Educación Física (en adelante EF), en las cuales no aparece la figura humana o aparece sin realizar actividad física. El instrumento se dividió en cuatro dimensiones: a) características técnicas de la imagen, b) otras imágenes relacionadas con el personaje, c) otras imágenes relacionadas con la actividad física y d) otras imágenes. Posteriormente se procedió a redactar las categorías y subcategorías de cada dimensión. Una vez elaborado el instrumento se realizó una validación de contenido a través de las siguientes fases: una primera fase de elaboración del instrum…
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Based Prediction Model for Prostate Biopsy Risk Stratification
2018
IMPORTANCE: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in conjunction with MRI–transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion-guided biopsies have improved the detection of prostate cancer. It is unclear whether MRI itself adds additional value to multivariable prediction models based on clinical parameters. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether an MRI-based prediction model can reduce unnecessary biopsies in patients with suspected prostate cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Patients underwent MRI, MRI-TRUS fusion-guided biopsy, and 12-core systematic biopsy in 1 session. The development cohort used to derive the prediction model consisted of 400 patients from 1 institution enrolled between …
Ārvalstu tiešo investīciju ietekme uz Latvijas ekonomiku
2021
Pētījuma ietvaros tiek pielietota pielāgota Granger cēloņsakarības testēšanas metodoloģija, kas pieļauj VAR modelēšanu uz nediferencētām un iespējams kointegrētām laikrindām, lai noskaidrotu vai eksistē un kādā virzienā ir novērojama cēloņsakarība starp Latvijas iedzīvotāju ienākumu līmeni, darbaspēka produktivitāti un ārvalstu tiešajām investīcijām. Analīzes rezultāti, kas tiek balstīti uz īpaša VAR sastādīšanas mehānisma un modificēta Wald testa, liecina, ka ārvalstu investīcijām Latvijā nav cēloņsakarības ne ar labklājības līmeni, ne ar darbaspēka produktivitāti. Turklāt impulsa atbildes funkcijas norāda, ka ĀTI un darbaspēka produktivitātes šoki uz ienākumu līmeni ir īstermiņa un pārejo…
Why Do We Take Risks? Perception of the Situation and Risk Proneness Predict Domain-Specific Risk Taking
2021
[EN] Risk taking (RT) is a component of the decision-making process in situations that involve uncertainty and in which the probability of each outcome - rewards and/or negative consequences - is already known. The influence of cognitive and emotional processes in decision making may affect how risky situations are addressed. First, inaccurate assessments of situations may constitute a perceptual bias in decision making, which might influence RT. Second, there seems to be consensus that a proneness bias exists, known as risk proneness, which can be defined as the propensity to be attracted to potentially risky activities. In the present study, we take the approach that risk perception and r…
Il Paradigma della Città Fluida
2013
Nella recente crisi globale i poderosi flussi di capitali finanziari, sociali e relazionali che hanno alimentato la riqualificazione urbana nel corso degli ultimi quindici anni non sono più disponibili ad essere intercettati in maniera indiscriminata così come è stato possibile fino a qualche anno fa. Nell'era della crisi strutturale le città più dinamiche non sono più quelle in grado di attrarre progetti urbani iconici ed investitori spinti dal mercato immobiliare o dalla redditività delle attività ricreative, ma quelle città che, a partire dalle loro profonde e diversificate risorse culturali, saranno capaci di attuare una vera e propria “metamorfosi” per usarle come base per la creazione…
Modeling the influence of alternative forest management scenarios on wood production and carbon storage: A case study in the Mediterranean region
2016
Forest ecosystems are fundamental for the terrestrial biosphere as they deliver multiple essential ecosystem services (ES). In environmental management, understanding ES distribution and interactions and assessing the economic value of forest ES represent future challenges. In this study, we developed a spatially explicit method based on a multi-scale approach (MiMoSe-Multiscale Mapping of ecosystem services) to assess the current and future potential of a given forest area to provide ES. To do this we modified and improved the InVEST model in order to adapt input data and simulations to the context of Mediterranean forest ecosystems. Specifically, we integrated a GIS-based model, scenario …
