Over the past century women have majorly progressed in labour markets. As a result, there has been a clear convergence in the level of education across gender. Similarly, the employment prospects of women relative to those of men are also improving. Despite these progresses, women are still heavily under-represented in positions of power. The aim of this project is to investigate the selection of

This project aims to verify whether the interaction of the immigrant status and the well-known age effects generates an extra penalty on the disadvantage of second generations. In the literature, having a double disadvantage is associated with female gender or ethnic minority status. So far, there are no attempts to check for this effect in the Italian schools.

Early educational gaps are likely to persist in the adulthood and may foster poor socio-economic conditions and social exclusion. Thus, reducing early educational gaps looks crucial to reduce future social inequality. We plan to focus on the second generations in Italy at the ag

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) and other novel nicotine delivery products (NDP) represent one of the most important recent innovations in the tobacco market. This project aims at analyze the consumption of NDP in Europe and test whether the use of NDP by parents reduces the nicotine transmission to children compared to traditional tobacco products. This would allow to quantify the externalities de

In simple competitive models, emigration from low-wage to high-wage areas continues until wages converge and unemployment disappears. Within thisframework, long-run regional unemployment disparities can only be determined by wage rigidity. However, when the possibility of externalities is taken into account, the effect of interregional labour migration on regional unemployment can be reversed and
