In-work poverty and informality are two interlinked phenomena that reflect significant challenges within the global labor market. In-work poverty refers to the condition where individuals, despite being employed, live below the poverty line. Informality pertains to employment that is not regulated by the state, lacks social protection, and often offers precarious working conditions. Both issues ha

Studiare gli effetti delle politiche fiscali sulle emissioni di CO2, mettendo in relazione questa indagine con il filone di ricerca sulla Environmental Kuznets Curve. Condurre lo studio sugli Stati Uniti nel periodo 1973-2022.

The aim of this paper is to study whether the green technological specialization of host R&D regions shapes the green innovativeness of top R&D performers. Indeed, the worldâ¿¿s leading corporate R&D investors play a crucial role in driving climate-related innovation on a global scale, accounting for 70% of patent applications in climate change mitigation or adaptation technologies, compared to 63%

The main objectives of this project are to bridge the gap between trade and innovation in the context of environmental goods and to provide insights into the use of international trade to promote green innovation. By analysing Italian NUTS3 regions, the project firstly aims to develop a new classification of environmentally traded goods, which is lacking in the literature at this level of geograph

The aim is to analyse the anti-poverty effect a particular social cash transfers (the Reddito di Cittadinanza) using a micro-econometric approach. After an aggregate analyses, based on comparing average poverty indicators before and after public transfers, to address who receives the transfers and how the transfers are distributed among the poor, we would to consider three dichotomous outcome va

L'Italia è fra i 6 paesi europei che non prevedono il salario minimo legale, a novembre 2021 il parlamento europeo ha votato in favore di una bozza di direttiva per l'adeguamento nell'Unione del livello dei salari minimi. In Italia, l'introduzione del salario minimo legale è un argomento controverso sia per le rappresentanze sindacali che per gli analisti economici, soprattutto con riferimento agl

By means of a knowledge production function we estimate the green tech innovation capabilities of highly inventive multinational enterprises (MNEs). We explore the sensitivity of this relationship to the strength of environmental protection enforcement (EPE) across the MNEs R&D subsidiaries. We argue that MNE environmental innovative performance will be enhanced when the firmâ¿¿s patent and R&D acti

This project is based on the idea that the recent increase in robot adoption, which includes both automation and digitalisation, has been identified as one of the greatest shock in recent years affecting employment levels, productivity, and innovation performance in all industrialised countries at the firm, industry and country levels. The literature on the effects of robot adoption is very recent

L'obiettivo della ricerca è di analizzare il processo di trasformazione delle tecnologie ad alto contenuto di carbone, che è divenuto importante in tutte le economie avanzate ai fini di una maggiore sostenibilità produttiva. In particolare, saranno evidenziate le politiche per sostenere l'innovazione ambientale e ridurre gli effetti negativi del processo nel breve periodo.

This project explores the hypothesis that KIBS have differential impacts on regional innovation capacity depending on the stage of technology life-cycle, and of the attending know-how. The empirical analysis focuses on Italian regions (NUTS 2) over the period 2000-2017. Using patent data to identify the life-cycle stages (from emergence to maturity) and employment data to compute the location quot

Il progetto ha come obiettivo principale la tematica della sostenibilità con particolare riferimento ai fenomeni di congestione dei trasporti. Dall'analisi di questa tematica dovrebbero scaturire vie per una migliore organizzazione del sistema logistico, e lo studio di fattibilità giuridica di tali soluzioni. Dal punto di vista economico l'obiettivo è individuare la sostenibilità ambientale, econo

A first target of the analysis would be to evaluate the role of green innovation as a potential driver of green competitiveness in the world trade. While most previous research has focused on exploring separately the drivers of green trade (Can et al., 2021) and those of green innovation (Aboelmaged and Hashem, 2019), we will concentrate on how useful the interaction between the two can be in maki

This project moves from the idea that firms which integrate in their production process more intensively and extensively R&D intensive supplies from service sectors - more specifically from knowledge intensive ones (KIBS) - exhibit greater inventive efforts. The aim is to investigate on (eventual) knowledge externalities arising from the relationships of the Italian manufacturing firms located dow

The aim of project is to highlight the territorial relevance of in-work poverty, considering the macro regional contexts in Italy. For the definition of poverty we can use monetary and also multidiensional definitions. Moreover the monetary definition could be split in the income and consumption determination of poverty level. The research question is how relevant is the choice of economic compone

This research will examine the ways according to which Climate changes and covid pandemic may alter the effects on production and labour market of firms' technological externalities. The starting point of our analysis, concerns a meticolous scientific literature review, then we will proceed by using both theoretical and empirical frameworks grounded on different data-set
