El rol del modelo de las competencias en la reconfiguración meritocrática de las pautas de negociación salarial en empresas argentinas: continuidades…

2020

The development of new models of work organization and the complementary advance of flexible guidelines for the use of the labor force had as a correlate a profound change in techniques for the evaluation of workers. Thus, the typical model of Fordism, based on qualifications, was replaced by a different one based on competencies, whereby the strong relationship of the former was abandoned with the determination of the technical knowledge required for each job to move to a system which the priority is placed in the individual attitude. The consequent individualization of performance evaluations can lead to a possible loss of objectivity. In this article we develop a theoretical comparison b…

Towards “global zero”: the role of the Holy See in the campaign on nuclear disarmament

2019

On 7 July 2017 at the UN headquarters in New York the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons was adopted, the first multilateral legally-binding instrument for nuclear disarmament negotiated in the last twenty years.  The very signing of the Treaty must be seen as an extraordinary achievement because it represents a historic step in the seven decades long debate on nuclear weapons. One of the most significant achievements of the decade-long campaign is the engagement of civil society and non-state actors to such a degree that it was recognized through the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). The crucial supporter of the cam…

A Pedagogical Proof of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem

1999

In this note I consider a simple proof of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem (Arrow 1963). I start with the case of three individuals who have preferences on three alternatives. In this special case there are 133=2197 possible combinations of the three individuals' rational preferences. However, by considering the subset of linear preferences, and employing the full strength of the IIA axiom, I reduce the number of cases necessary to completely describe the SWF to a small number, allowing an elementary proof suitable for most undergraduate students. This special case conveys the nature of Arrow's result. It is well known that the restriction to three options is not really limiting (any larger se…

Dio, più che necessario. Lo statuto della possibilità in Eberhard Jüngel

2012

Lo studio ripercorre le implicazioni, sia teologiche sia filosofiche, della nota formula jüngeliana di Dio come «più che necessario. La scelta di J. di rifiutare la mediazione dei praeambula fidei, comporta che filosofia e teologia non si dispongano in una successione lineare, ma si presentino come due direzioni autonome di apprensione del senso: quella propria della filosofia, come disponentesi entro l'orizzonte ermeneutico della legge; quella della teologia, nel parallelo orizzonte della giustificazione. In questo secondo registro ermeneutico, regolato dall'analogia fidei e radicato sul piano esistentivo dell'esperienza dell'amore come potenza di avvicinamento, la pensabilità di Dio si de…

Assessment of Tourist Competitiveness by Analysing Destination Efficiency

2006

Recently the notion and the measurement of destination competitiveness have received increasing attention in the economics literature on tourism. The reason for this interest emerges from both the increasing economic importance of the tourist sector and the increasing competition on the tourist market as a consequence of the transition from mass tourism to a new age of tourism that calls for a tailor-made approach to the specific attitudes and needs of tourists. The central subject of this paper - inspired by the conceptual competitiveness model developed earlier by Crouch and Ritchie - concerns the efficiency of tourist site destinations. Using a dataset of 103 Italian regions for the year…

ASSESSMENT OF TOURISM COMPETITIVENESS BY ANALYSING DESTINATION EFFICIENCY

The notion and measurement of destination competitiveness have received increasing attention in the economics literature on tourism.

Participer pour rendre le travail possible. Les staffs en unités de soins palliatifs

2018

Répondant à un mandat médical particulier — soigner sans guérir —, les professionnels de soins palliatifs font d’une partie du « sale boulot » hospitalier leur cœur de métier. Dans l’incapacité d’y faire face seuls mais aussi pour lutter contre la souffrance au travail, les médecins attendent des personnels paramédicaux qu’ils participent à l’élaboration du soin à travers des réunions pluridisciplinaires nommées « staff ». Cette participation modifie la division du travail habituellement en vigueur à l’hôpital, et entraîne des « charges de la participation » supplémentaires pour les paramédicaux. Mais dans le même temps, les staffs permettent aux paramédicaux de s’approprier les cadres cult…

Assessing the productivity change of water companies in England and Wales: A dynamic metafrontier approach

2017

The assessment of productivity change and its drivers across water companies and over time is a powerful tool for both regulators and companies when setting water tariffs. Water and sewerage companies (WaSCs) and water only companies (WoCs) provide different services. Hence, their productivity change cannot directly be evaluated jointly. In this paper and for the first time, we provide a pioneering approach to assess and compare the dynamics of productivity change of WaSCs and WoCs. To achieve this, both the traditional Malmquist productivity index and the metafrontier Malmquist productivity index and its components are computed to assess the productivity change for a sample of English and …
