The Effects of Individual Values on Online Shopping Spending
2019
Although individual values have been found as important antecedents of human behaviour, their effects on online shopping behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we aim to address this gap in prior research by examining the effects of individual values on both total online shopping spending and the specific types of online shopping spending in terms of orders made (1) with traditional computers versus mobile devices, (2) from businesses versus other consumers, and (3) from domestic versus foreign online stores. The examination is based on the data from 565 Finnish online shoppers, which was collected via an online survey between February 2019 and March 2019 and is analysed by usin…
What is it and how to measure cultural tourism? A longitudinal study with time series for the Spanish case
2013
Por su poder diferenciador, y su débil contingencia a la moda el turismo cultural se ha convertido en un reto para los destinos. No solo dinamiza zonas de interior sino que es una manera para algunos destinos de salvar su patrimonio y crear empleos. Sin embargo, el concepto de turismo cultural es complejo y su delimitación y medición difíciles. En una primera parte teórica, este trabajo realiza una revisión conceptual del turismo cultural enfocando la dialéctica existente entre experiencia y autenticidad, y destacando después la diversidad de tipologías de turismo y de turista cultural. En la parte empírica, después de abordar la dificultad de medición, se presenta un estudio con series tem…
The Impact of Government Spending on the Private Sector: Crowding-out versus Crowding-in Effects
2011
The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of government spending on the private sector, assessing the existence of crowding-out versus crowding-in effects. Using a panel of 145 countries from 1960 to 2007, the results suggest that government spending produces important crowding-out effects, by negatively affecting both private consumption and investment. Moreover, while the effects do not seem to depend on the different phases of economic cycle, they vary considerably among regions. The results are economically and statistically significant, and robust to several econometric techniques.
Uwarunkowania i przejawy różnicowania modelu konsumpcji na Śląsku w latach 2004-2015
2017
Przedmiotem badań przedstawionych w artykule są długookresowe zmiany modelu konsumpcji na Śląsku, czyli w trzech województwach przygranicznych – śląskim, opolskim i dolnośląskim, a także identyfi kacja ważniejszych czynników warunkujących zróżnicowanie realizowanych przez gospodarstwa domowe modeli konsumpcji. W oparciu o dane z panelowych badań GUS budżetów gospodarstw domowych w latach 2004–2015 przeprowadzono ekonometryczną analizę wpływu na poziom i strukturę wydatków gospodarstw domowych oraz takich ich cech, jak poziom oraz główne źródło dochodów, miejsce zamieszkania, wiek czy wykształcenie osoby odniesienia (głowy domu). Przyjęto przy tym założenie, że o modelu konsumpcji można wnio…

Le misure di riorganizzazione del personale alle dipendenze della p.a. Tra obiettivi di efficienza ed esigenze di razionalizzazione della spesa pubbl…
2012
Riassunto- Il saggio analizza le politiche di riorganizzazione del personale alle dipendenze delle p.a., alla luce delle più recenti modifiche legislative. Secondo le più recenti analisi statistiche, la Pubblica Amministrazione italiana registra, a livello strutturale, numerose inefficienze correlate all’irrazionale distribuzione delle risorse umane. Per ovviare a dette disfunzioni, il legislatore è intervenuto a più riprese sul quadro normativo in materia di mobilità, modificando sia la disciplina degli strumenti di programmazione e gestione delle risorse umane (passaggi diretti di personale, trasferimenti, comandi, distacchi e assegnazioni temporanee), sia i meccanismi regolativi per il …

Optimal savings and health spending over the life cycle
2010
This paper investigates the relationship between saving and health spending in a two-period overlapping generations economy. Individuals work in the first period of life and live in retirement in old age. Health spending is an activity that increases quality of life and longevity. Empirical evidence shows that both health spending and saving behave as luxury goods but their behaviour differs markedly according to the level of per capita GDP. The share of saving on GDP has a concave shape with respect to per capita GDP, whereas the share of health spending on GDP increases more than proportionally with respect to per capita GDP. The ratio of saving to spending is nonlinear with respect to in…
AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC SPENDING DECOMPOSITION ON ORGANIZED CRIME
2016
The aim of this paper is to investigate, empirically, what components of the public spending imply a decreasing effect on the organized crime and what components create opportunities for the organized crime, discussing also the role of government effciency. The findings show a strikingly consistent pattern. Organized crime mainly operates in the distribution of the public spending for health, housing and community amenities. There is a decreasing effect on organized crime of the public expenditure devoted to education and to create morality values, such as the expenditure for recreation, culture and religion. Finally, government efficiency in public spending is beneficial for reducing the o…
