Coherent Conditional Previsions and Proper Scoring Rules
2012
In this paper we study the relationship between the notion of coherence for conditional prevision assessments on a family of finite conditional random quantities and the notion of admissibility with respect to bounded strictly proper scoring rules. Our work extends recent results given by the last two authors of this paper on the equivalence between coherence and admissibility for conditional probability assessments. In order to prove that admissibility implies coherence a key role is played by the notion of Bregman divergence.
Cercavano la luce. Storia sanitaria delle zolfare di Sicilia
2012
Il volume monografico è dedicato alla storia sanitaria dei solfatari di Sicilia nel periodo compreso tra la fine del 1800 e la chiusura degli insediamenti estrattivi avvenuta agli inizi degli anni '60. La narrazione, nel cogliere i problemi di salute di questa popolazione di operai, esplora lo sforzo delle istituzioni per il loro riscatto, i provvedimenti sanitari che sono stati assunti e le motivazioni etiche che le hanno determinate.

Harvard meets the crisis: U.S. fiscal policy in the 1930s and the political economy of Lauchlin B. Currie, Jacob Viner, John H. Williams and Harry D.…
2010
The paper aims to describe the contribution of four Harvard economists to the interpretation of the Great Depression and the policy decision making from 1933 to 1938. Lauchlin B. Currie, Jacob Viner, John H. Williams, Harry D. White, eminent scholars in the field of monetary and international economics, were deeply involved in policy decisions during the New Deal. In our synoptic analysis we will benefit from extensive scholarly work that has been provided in the last few years. We shall examine the extensive biographical connection between Currie, Viner, White and Williams with special regard to their common training at Harvard. Then we shall compare their interpretations of the causes of …
John Maurice Clark's contribution to the genesis of the multiplier analysis: A note with some related unpublished correspondence
2008
The multiplier is a central concept in Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics. It is largely what justifies activist full-employment fiscal policy: an increase in fiscal expenditures contributing to multiple rounds of spending, thereby financing itself. Yet, while a copingstone of post-Keynesian theory,

Diversità di genere e sistema sanitario: un’analisi su un campione di aziende sanitarie italiane
2022
Il lavoro analizza in che misura la diversità di genere fa parte delle attuali pratiche delle aziende sanitarie. Attraverso un’analisi di tipo statistico-inferenziale su un campione di 39 strutture ospedaliere appartenenti al Gruppo San Donato, ha lo scopo di valutare se la presenza delle donne nel CdA influenza la performance aziendale. I risultati suggeriscono che la diversità nelle aziende sanitarie è un tema poco esplorato e non mancano opportunità e ostacoli al percorso di carriera delle donne. L’analisi di correlazione e regressione conferma che la presenza delle donne è positivamente correlata all’indice di performance delle strutture; la strada per arrivare alla parità non è breve e…
Unpacking Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) performances through the institutional logics lens
2019
In the current knowledge-based economy, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are called to play different interconnected roles related to triple university missions. Alongside the two traditional missions of teaching and research, HEIs have experienced the emergence of the so-called “third mission”, which sees HEIs as knowledge-based agents part of ecosystems of public institutions, companies and citizens oriented to coknowledge creation. Finding a balance between the traditional missions and the third mission can be a serious challenge. For this reason, HEIs need to revise their objectives, strategies and performance indicator systems to plan, monitor and assess their social, cultural, and…
