Beyond Foreign Policy? EU Sanctions at the Intersection of Development, Trade, and CFSP

2022

In the wake of unsettling conflicts and democratic backsliding, states and organisations increasingly respond with sanctions. The European Union (EU) is one of them: Brussels makes use of the entire toolbox in its foreign policy, and its sanctions appear in different forms—diplomatic measures, travel bans, financial bans, or various forms of economic restrictions. Yet, there is little debate between different strands in the literature on EU sanctions, in particular concerning measures under the Common Foreign and Security Policy and those pertaining to the development and trade policy fields. Our thematic issue addresses this research gap by assembling a collection of articles investigating…

Is large-scale rapid CoV-2 testing a substitute for lockdowns?

2021

Background Various forms of contact restrictions have been adopted in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Around February 2021, rapid testing appeared as a new policy instrument. Some claim it may serve as a substitute for contact restrictions. We study the strength of this argument by evaluating the effects of a unique policy experiment: In March and April 2021, the city of Tübingen set up a testing scheme while relaxing contact restrictions. Methods We compare case rates in Tübingen county to an appropriately identified control unit. We employ the synthetic control method. We base interpretations of our findings on an extended SEIR model. Findings The experiment led to an increase in the …

Work-life balance during the COVID-19 outbreak: the case of Latvia

2020

This paper aims to shed light on work-life balance in Latvia during the state of emergency The COVID-19 outbreak has led many governments to introduce lockdowns While imposed restrictions may help to contain the spread of the virus, they may also result in substantial damage to population well-being The COVID-19 outbreak in Latvia demonstrates the extent and ways in which socio-demographics factors have determined different patterns of behaviour, attitudes, employment changes and harmonised work and life balance The study describes the chronological development of COVID-19 in the country It describes labour migration to and from Latvia before the COVID-19 outbreak It provides geographical f…

La scoperta di un paradigma complesso. L'«Unternehmen» nel diritto commerciale e nella dottrina austro-tedesca del primo Novecento

2010

Dai primi anni del Novecento, senza una precisa definizione legislativa, senza un tessuto normativo coerente ed univoco, la scienza giuridica austro-tedesca ripensò in profondità la nuova realtà economico-sociale dell’Europa industriale, scoprendo e giuridicamente rappresentando, in tempo di «individualismo atomizzante», la dimensione collettiva ed organizzativa del fenomeno imprenditoriale. Il diritto patrimoniale, fino ad allora terreno privilegiato della proprietà, si impregnava di diritto dell’economia, con al centro l’«Unternehmen», quale paradigma collettivo e complesso che, secondo il messaggio divulgato da Ohmeyer, Pisko, Müller-Erzbach, Isay, Geller, ripudiava ogni chiave di lettur…

Governance through Economic Paradigms: Addressing Climate Change by Accounting for Health

2016

"Climate change is a major challenge for sustainable development, impacting human health, wellbeing, security, and livelihoods. While the post-2015 development agenda sets out action on climate change as one of the Sustainable Development Goals, there is little provision on how this can be achieved in tandem with the desired economic progress and the required improvements in health and wellbeing. This paper examines synergies and tensions between the goals addressing climate change and economic progress. We identify reductionist approaches in economics, such as 'externalities', reliance on the metric of the Gross Domestic Product, positive discount rates, and short-term profit targets as so…

Total Factor Productivity Convergence Amongst Italian Regions: Some Evidence from Panel Unit Root Tests

2009

Byrne J. P., Fazio G. and Piacentino D. Total factor productivity convergence among Italian regions: some evidence from panel unit root tests. Regional Studies. This paper employs panel unit root tests to investigate convergence in total factor productivity (TFP) among Italian regions. These tests provide an inference valid in the presence of heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, and when the cross-sectional dimension is smaller than the time dimension, allowing the investigation of convergence among different subsets of regions. The results add a further dimension to the conventional view on growth dynamics in the Italian peninsula depicting a lack of regional TFP convergence not o…
