Bandi vivi
2014
The processes of institutionalization and objectification of post-agricultural can be made clearer by deconstructing and making the procedures triggered by the application of rules imposed by the transnational bureaucratic machine of the European Union problematic and conflicting. The construction of competitive narratives between local and global, which according to the dominant rhetoric would produce unequivocal locality, defined in its relational and contextual aspects, are the basis of the institutionalized development aid system which, just like in colonialism, becomes a field of cultural protest and construction of the neighborhood ethnorami.

Abstract This paper aims to analyse the intellectual property rights from an economic perspective.

Il legame tra innovazione strategica, capitale intellettuale e tecnologie intelligenti
2020
Il successo delle aziende è strettamente legato alla loro capacità di innovare, cioè di proporre soluzioni nuove o migliorative rispetto alle preesistenti. L’innovazione costituisce un elemento imprescindibile per il conseguimento di risultati competitivi soddisfacenti soprattutto nei moderni contesti economici, dove la tecnologia si evolve rapidamente e cambia le “condizioni di gioco”, facendo diventare obsoleti prodotti e conoscenze pregresse, mutando i confini dei mercati e cambiando i rapporti di potere tra attori economici (ad esempio, il cliente sempre più informato e connesso con il mondo grazie ad internet acquista più potere rispetto ai fornitori di beni e servizi). In Italia, così…
Regional headquarters and foreign direct investment
2022
Headquarters (HQs) provide a wide range of services, playing a fundamental role in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). We use the structural gravity equation to investigate the effect of regional HQs on three dimensions of FDI (number of foreign projects, capital investment, and jobs) at the country-pair-sector level. Furthermore, we explore two underlying mechanisms that help explain this relationship: financial constraints and informational costs and uncertainty. We find a positive effect of regional HQs on FDI, as well as intercountry and intersector spillovers. Our results are robust, accounting for HQ intensity, domestic investment, and endogeneity tests.
