John M. Clark and frank H. Knight on the adding-up theorem, overhead costs, and more
2018
This note offers new archival insight into a 1925 polemical exchange between Frank Knight and John Maurice Clark that was hosted in the pages of Journal of Political Economy. Although the exchange centered on the effects of overhead costs on marginal productivity theory and the so-called adding-up theorem, it also provided significant elements to assess the methodological differences between two of the most representative American economists of the interwar years.
An appraisal of Piero Sraffa's 'The Laws of Returns under Competitive Conditions'
2001
The paper proposes a new interpretation of Sraffa's 1926 Economic Journal article, ‘The Laws of Returns under Competitive Conditions’, according to which the latter derives from the same strategy of research which underlies its 1925 Italian precursor, ‘Sulle relazioni fra costo e quantità prodotta’. Sraffa tested the explanatory power of a Marshallian monopolistic partial equilibrium model and concluded that that model is able to treat one source of variable returns (firm-internal economies); but this articulation of Marshall‘s theory does not substantially improve on the trade-off between logical consistency and empirical relevance which afflicted the theory in its whole. © 2001, Taylor & …
La libertà tra determinismo naturale e determinismo teologico: Il De servo arbitrio di Lutero
2018
L'articolo analizza il rapporto tra determinismo naturale e storico da un lato e determinismo teologico dall'altro, così come Lutero lo affronta nel De servo arbitrio, a partire dalla sua concreta esperienza di fede. L'articolo cerca di mostrare come l'idea di determinismo di Lutero sia escludente l’opposta idea d’indeterminazione, ragion per cui egli rifiuta la concezione della libertà come libertas indifferentiae, ma non la contingenza degli eventi e quindi neppure l'autodeterminazione dell'uomo. Nell'articolo si mostra come la posizione di Lutero al riguardo sia stata accolta da Leibniz e da Hegel. The article analyzes the relationship between natural and historical determinism on the on…

CRIMINOLOGY AND ECONOMIC IDEAS IN THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT
2009
My purpose is to point out that during the Age of Enlightenment, and its later 19th century expressions, the most relevant works on law contain examples of economic ideas about criminal phenomena and their legal repression. I will comment the analytic conclusions to which the authors of the time got to, with reference to specific questions such as the definition of crime, the determination of punishment, the judicial procedure. I will take into account some of the most representative European writers: Montesquieu, Beccaria and Bentham. The authors I selected share the characteristic of being all exponents of utilitarianism and of presenting elements which forerun neoclassical economics in t…

La scrittura espressiva: fondamenti teorici, applicazioni e nuove prospettive di ricerca
2014
Raccontare le esperienze traumatiche e stressanti della propria vita, cercando di chiarirne i significati personali, serve non solo ad oggettivare i propri vissuti ed a conoscersi meglio, ma può anche migliorare le condizioni di salute psico-fisica, l’efficienza personale e modificare in senso positivo il modo di pensare, gli atteggiamenti, i comportamenti e le relazioni interpersonali. James Pennebaker ha inaugurato un filone di studi sperimentali volti a chiarire gli effetti della scrittura espressiva e i meccanismi psicofisiologici che si innescano quando traumi ed esperienze stressanti sono verbalizzati. Il pensiero narrativo è la prospettiva che dà fondamento teorico a tale metodo di r…
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.

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.

In this introduction we first summarize briefly Neri Salvadori’s academic career, his work and his intellectual and organisational activities and then provide a short overview of the essays collected…
