On international spillovers
2012
Abstract This study investigates the role of international spillovers in generating productivity gains for a panel of 24 OECD countries during the period between 1971 and 2004. We use recent techniques developed in a common factor framework to characterize the global interdependence implied by international spillovers and the diffusion mechanisms involved. Consistently with some recent studies in this field, the evidence suggests that there are substantial cross-country spillovers mainly related to R&D and human capital variables, which contribute significantly to productivity.
On the link between urban location and the involvement of knowledge intensive business services firms in collaboration networks
2013
Knowledge intensive business services firms can play a key role in modern economies by linking localized collaboration networks to global knowledge flows, and by actively serving in support of knowledge diffusion across institutional and sectoral divides. The extent to which they do is dependent on the markets, partners and human resources available locally. This paper uses the unique establishment-level innovation data available in Norway to investigate whether location in urban labour market regions influences the geographical scope of collaborative linkages maintained within and outside the realm of clients. It proceeds to consider whether the diversity of partner types used locally, dom…
Differenziali Territoriali di Produttivita' ed Efficienza negli Anni '90: i Livelli e l'Andamento
2001
Nel presente lavoro, dopo avere effettuato una rassegna degli approcci esistenti in letteratura sulle ragioni dello sviluppo dualistico dell'economia italiana, si argomenta che per valutare il potere esplicativo di questi approcci e' importante esaminare alcune loro predizioni empiriche relativamente a livello e andamento della produttivita' totale dei fattori, nonche' degli elementi in cui queste variabili possono essere scomposte. Basandosi sui dati dell'Indagine del Mediocredito Centrale, vengono quindi calcolati per gli anni '90 misure di efficienza tecnica, di scala e allocativa, nonche' degli indici di Malmquist, per un campione piuttosto ampio (e territorialmente diversificato) di im…
What is your couple type? Gender ideology, housework-sharing, and babies
2015
AbstractBACKGROUNDIt is increasingly acknowledged that not only gender equality but also gender ideology plays a role in explaining fertility in advanced societies. In a micro perspective, the potential mismatch between gender equality (i.e., the actual sharing taking place in a couple) and gender ideology (i.e., attitudes and beliefs regarding gender roles) may drive childbearing decisions.OBJECTIVEThis paper assesses the impact of consistency between gender equality in attitudes and equality in the division of household labour on the likelihood of having another child, for different parities.METHODSRelying on two-wave panel data of the Bulgarian, Czech, French, Hungarian, and Lithuanian G…
El fenómeno del subempleo en el proceso de inserción laboral de los jóvenes, sus conductas y actitudes laborales
2017
El propósito de esta tesis es ahondar en el estudio del subempleo en los jóvenes en España en su primera etapa de desarrollo de carrera, al inicio de su inserción laboral. Se han realizado tres estudios usando 3 sub-muestras de jóvenes en España con experiencia laboral. La muestra se obtuvo gracias al proyecto Bancaja IVIE a través del Observatorio de Inserción Laboral. Se analiza el constructo del Subempleo a través de la propuesta de un modelo de medida unifactorial que compara 5 tipos de subempleo en contraposición a un modelo bifactorial (subempleo en los aspectos íntrísecos y extrínsecos). El segundo objetivo fue conocer los efectos diferenciados del subempleo en aspectos importantes c…

Taylorism on steroids or enabling autonomy? A systematic review of algorithmic management
2023
AbstractThe use of algorithmic management systems is rapidly changing organizational models and practices, as millions of workers in multiple sectors worldwide are managed by computer software. Despite receiving increasing academic interest, little summarizing literature exist on the ways algorithmic systems are used in management. This article aims to fill this gap by systematically reviewing and qualitatively analyzing 172 articles on the topic. Our research contributes to the existent algorithmic management literature in three ways. First, we provide a descriptive overview of algorithmic management as a field of research. Second, we identify and synthesize the discussion on the key conce…

Esimiestyön merkitys työhyvinvoinnin tukena : kokemuksia ikääntyvien liikunnanopettajien työurien varrelta
2019
Koulun johtamisella on keskeinen rooli ikääntyneiden opettajien työhyvinvointiin ja jaksamiseen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yli 30 vuoden työuran tehneitä liikunnanopettajia ja kahta liikunnanopettajataustaista rehtoria. Tavoitteena oli saada tietoa siitä, mitkä asiat koulun johtamisessa ovat vaikuttaneet liikunnanopettajien työhyvinvointiin ja viihtymiseen työuran aikana. Teemahaastatteluina kerätty aineisto analysoitiin sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tutkitut liikunnanopettajat olivat innostuneita työstään, mikä voimaannutti heitä. Liikunnanopettajat kaipasivat itsenäiseen työhönsä kuitenkin esimiehen tukea ja kannustusta. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että oikeudenmukainen ja osallistuva …
The People’s Assembly: Testing the Collaborative (e)-Democracy
2020
This paper aims to critically analyse the Estonian People’s Assembly (EPA), a crowdsourcing initiative carried out from 2013 to 2014. During the project, citizens could participate in decision-making and make proposals for laws and policies on a dedicated web-platform. Additionally, some people were invited for a traditional off-line debate. In that way, the project combined virtual communication tools with traditional discussion to apply the principles of collaborative e-democracy, in which governmental stakeholders and non-governmental stakeholders (such as local communities) join in a deliberative debate. The purpose of this paper is to observe, both, gains and problems of this crowdsour…
