Preferencias adaptativas: un obstáculo pendiente para la renta básica
2019
Resumen La renta básica proporciona a la ciudadanía una autonomía económica que se traduce en una libertad real para conducir sus vidas. Sin embargo, en este artículo defiendo que la renta básica no sería efectiva en situaciones de pobreza donde se generan preferencias adaptativas en las personas. Para mostrarlo analizaré las bases psicológicas del comportamiento de personas con preferencias adaptativas. A continuación, abordaré qué estrategias son las indicadas para revertir la situación de preferencias adaptativas. Implementar estas políticas permitirá que la renta básica pueda empoderar también a los más pobres.
The Determinants of Migrants’ Remittance Inflows in the MENA Region: A Macroeconomic Approach
2014
Macroeconomic studies on the determinants of remittance flows have traditionally reviewed the role that economic conditions of host and home countries of migrants play in this process. New contributions have enlarged that setting by dealing with socio-political (demographics, institutions) and individual (education) dimensions influencing migrants’ behaviour when they remit money back home. In this investigation, we test for the role of all these variables in a general framework when analysing the case of the MENA (Middle East and North of Africa) region. Results indicate that the state of the business cycle, the characteristics of households (fertility, income per capita), and those of the…
Migranti e lotta alla povertà. La Corte costituzionale nega il reddito di cittadinanza ai titolari del permesso di soggiorno per ricerca di un'occupa…
2022
Il commento analizza la recente sentenza n. 19/2022 della Corte costituzionale, in cui il Giudice delle leggi ha ritenuto costituzionalmente legittima la previsione legislativa, che subordina alla titolarità del permesso di soggiorno di lungo periodo l’ottenimento del reddito di cittadinanza per i migranti extracomunitari. The essay analyses the recent Italian constitutional court ruling (no. 19/2022), that deems constitutional social security law, which subordinates the granting of minimum income guaranteed to the ownership of permanent residence permit for non-EU citizens.
Impacto económico de las rentas mínimas: la Renta Valenciana de Inclusión
2019
Las Comunidades Autónomas son las principales responsables de la política de asistencia social en España. Recientemente, la Comunidad Valenciana ha reformado su sistema de rentas mínimas, instaurando la denominada Renta Valenciana de Inclusión. En el presente trabajo se calcula el impacto económico de este programa partiendo de una estimación ex-ante del gasto público a realizar. La estimación cuantifica el número de beneficiarios y el coste presupuestario de la medida; y compara estos resultados con las restantes Comunidades Autónomas. La Comunidad Valenciana se situaría entre las regiones españolas con mayor tasa de cobertura y con mayor gasto por habitante en este tipo de políticas. En b…
Tax burden borne by electricity and mining companies in Peru during 2010-2015 period
2018
O objetivo principal da pesquisa é quantificar a pressão fiscal suportada pelas empresas elétricas e de mineração que operam no Peru, no período 2010-2015, de tal forma que a existência de diferenças entre os dois setores econômicos analisados possa ser avaliada. Para este propósito, é apresentada uma descrição do setor elétrico e de mineração, bem como a evolução e influência que exercem sobre o crescimento econômico do Peru. Como elemento importante da investigação, foi realizada uma análise do arcabouço jurídico tributário que regula as atividades das empresas dos dois setores analisados, em especial, no tocante ao Imposto de Renda. O referencial teórico incorpora as principais referênci…
An Experimental Analysis of Social Mobility Comparisons
2004
Social mobility is an issue at the crossroad of various disciplines: sociology, statistics, political science and economics. We review alternative approaches to the analysis of intergenerational income mobility, and conduct a questionnaire aimed to reveal students' opinions on some basic principles developed in the literature. The questionnaire includes questions focussed on: (a) the difference between structural and exchange mobility; (b) the decomposition of mobility tables into parameters linked to structural mobility and parameters linked to exchange mobility; (c) the effects of transformations of the status variables (incomes) on mobility comparisons. These issues have been formalized …
Welfare State Development, Individual Deprivations and Income Inequality: A cross-country analysis in Latin America and the Caribbean
2019
Several scholars have confirmed the role that the welfare state (WS) plays in reducing poverty, promoting equality and ensuring the common wellbeing. One of the limitations of the scholarship has been the conceptualization and operationalization of the WS and poverty as one-dimensional variables. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between welfare state development –as a one-dimensional and multidimensional variable-, single-dimensions deprivations and income inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean, before and after controlling for demographic and cyclical factors. The WS is operationalized taking into account its multidimensional nature. Three individual deprivat…
ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF AQUACULTURE INVESTMENTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
2014
This study aims to analyze, from a technical and ec onomic point of view, the choice between alternative investments in aquaculture under condit ions of risk and uncertainty. In particular, a comparative analysis has been conducted between an inshore and an offshore farm producing European sea bass in the Mediterranean Sea. The app lied model refers to the theory of subjective probability, assigning a different probability to e xpected incomes during the investment period. Resul ts show an economic convenience of inshore with respect to offshore farming.

Economic Theory and its History
2016
This collection of essays is a tribute to Neri Salvadori, the man and scholar, teacher and friend, whom the scientific community owes important works in the tradition of Piero Sraffa’s revival of the classical economists’ approach to the problems of value, income distribution, capital accumulation, technical progress, scarce natural resources, economic development and growth. The essays in this book have all been freshly written and contain original work with novel ideas in the areas mentioned.
