Le niveau de compétences de base peut-il expliquer le déclassement ou le surclassement sur le marché du travail ?
2013
Documents de travail de l'IREDU, n°2013-3; Cet article porte sur le lien entre le déclassement et le surclassement sur le marché du travail et les compétences de base qu'ont pu acquérir les individus au cours de leurs parcours scolaire et professionnel. En observant une certaine hétérogénéité des compétences de base par niveau de diplôme, nous faisons l'hypothèse que ces différences peuvent expliquer les situations de déclassement ou de surclassement. Nos travaux, à partir des données de l'enquête nationale " Information et Vie Quotidienne " (2004), montrent effectivement que les situations de déclassement (surclassement), pour un même niveau de diplôme, peuvent résulter d'un plus faible (f…
Dinamiche della disuguaglianza e della robotizzazione: Un'analisi longitudinale
2022
Il crescente trend di automazione dei processi produttivi sta alimentando non poche preoccupazioni circa la possibilità che, in un futuro non troppo remoto, una quota rilevante di lavori tradizionali sarà rimpiazzata tout-court dai robot o dall’intelligenza artificiale, esacerbando, conseguentemente, le disuguaglianze. Con particolare riferimento all’impatto dei robot su svariati indicatori del mercato del lavoro, la letteratura empirica, attualmente, si è rivelata infruttuosa nel fornire risposte definitive ed esaustive, producendo evidenze contrastanti. Il presente contributo si inserisce nel dibattito in corso, proponendo un’indagine sulle dinamiche della robotizzazione e delle disparità…

Religion and governance in microfinance institutions: evidence from the global microfinance industry
2014
Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon – Universitetet i Agder 2014 This thesis sought to study the influence of religion on corporate governance in Microfinance Institutions. The study uses secondary data on a sample of rated Christian and secular MFIs compiled in rating reports by rating agencies to compare the governance differences and similarities between Christian and secular MFIs. The research uses the random effects General Least Squares and logistic regression models alongside other univariate statistical methods to test for the effect of religious affiliation on corporate governance. The overall findings indicate that Christian MFIs are significantly less-regulated by banking a…
Adoption and use of work-life initiatives: Looking at the influence of institutional pressures and gender
2015
Under the lens of Institutional Theory, this paper examines how coercive, normative and mimetic pressures on employers encourage the adoption and use of work-life balance. Analyzing a sample of Spanish private firms, we find that the diffusion of work-life practices may be explained as an isomorphic process in which particular normative pressure significantly influences the adoption and use of work-life programs, while mimetic pressures only affect the level of use. Interestingly, the presence of women in organizations is found to be relevant to the adoption and use of work-life benefits only when this presence refers to managerial positions.
Gender and Work-Life Balance: a Contest Analysis on Nursey Schools in Palermo
2018
This paper reflects on the gender inequalities and their influence in the access to labor market and, on the other one, to reproductive process. Maternity and work often arise as choices excluding one another due for the inadequacy of care services. The essay reviews some laws of the last years for encourage the work-life balance and analyzes the presence of the services for children in Palermo. The “case study” of the municipality of Palermo shows a general lack of services and a progressive reduction of public nurseries and kindergarten, despite the economic investments of the last decades at institutional level. It points out how many obstacles persist that discourage female participatio…
The Other J.M.: John Maurice Clark and the Keynesian Revolution
2009
This paper suggests that Clark's views regarding the Keynesian Revolution illuminate some of the limitations of the Keynesian orthodoxy that developed after the war, bringing more institutional detail and a greater preoccupation with dynamic analysis. Clark developed the multiplier in dynamic terms and coupled it with the accelerator to provide the framework for business cycle theory. His analysis was not formalized and emphasized time lags and non-linearities, similar to Harrod. In addition, Clark was concerned with the inflationary consequences of Keynesian policies and he was dissatisfied with those mechanical interpretations of the income flow analysis, which came to be known as hydraul…
Der ‚Glücksstern‘ Niebuhrs und die Institutionen des Gaius. Deutsch-italienische Wissenschaftspolitik im frühen 19. Jahrhundert, 2. erweiterte Auflage
2014
In diesem Buch ist die Geschichte der Wiederentdeckung des Palimpsests mit den Gaius-Institutionen durch Barthold Georg Niebuhr neu verhandelt. Die jüngst wiederbelebte These von einer „angekündigten Entdeckung“ wird in Frage gestellt. Das verzerrte Bild des Niebuhrschen Fundes in der Sicht dieser These ist kein Zufall. Es stellt sich vielmehr als später Nachklang wissenschaftlicher Querelen jener Zeit dar. Die These der „angekündigten Entdeckung“ erweist sich bei gründlicher Nachprüfung anhand der Quellen als spekulativ, der Fund ist als eigene Leistung Niebuhrs anzuerkennen. In dieser Abhandlung werden auch bislang unbeachtete oder missverstandene handschriftliche Dokumente textgetreu edi…
Waging War Against Mechanical Man. Frank H. Knight's Critique of Behavioristic Psychology
2002
The major theme of this essay is to explore the rationale of Knight's campaign against the adoption of behaviorism in economics. We also attempt to qualify whether Knight's methodological criticism may somewhat undermine his recently acquired credentials as an institutionalist economist. In so doing we focus our attention in particular, but not exclusively, on his debate with the institutionalist Morris A. Copeland. In the first section we try to explain why behaviorism gained consensus among institutional economists, and we also provide a brief overview of the main behavioristic themes as they were presented in contemporary economic literature. The second section is devoted to Knight's rea…
Evidence for transforming growth factor-beta 3 gene polymorphism in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate patients from indian sub-continent
2011
Objectives: Orofacial clefts are major human birth defects with complex etiology. Previous studies have proposed Transforming growth factor - beta 3 (TGF-β3) gene as a key player in contributing to non-syndromic cleft lip and palate, however none of the studies have yet included Indian population. Hence this study was designed to detect TGF-β3 gene polymorphism in nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate patients from Indian population which is genetically distinct from previously studied populations. Study Design: Peripheral blood samples of forty non-syndromic cleft lip and palate patients and forty unaffected individuals were collected for a case – control study design. Ethical clearance from t…
