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

This research project builds a model of firms' choice between regular and irregular labor factors which links the cost efficiency of banks to the size of the underground economy. Entrepreneurs' capital factor is an investment product, and its cost can be reduced by pledging collateral that is strictly dependent on firms' regular activities. We consider two kinds of credit institutions supplying lo

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

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

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

Sulla base delle ricerche svolte e della consolidata esperienza acquisita, il CELPE propone di svolgere un¿attività permanente di analisi economico-organizzativa sul tessuto imprenditoriale operante nel territorio. Oggetto di analisi dovrebbero essere gli aspetti della struttura, dell¿organizzazione e della gestione delle imprese considerati maggiormente strategici per la competitività e per lo

The idea of this project is to provide a spatial analysis of the impact of different types of agglomeration economies (urbanisation economies, Marshallian economies of specialisation, Hirschman linkages between KIBs and their users both in service and Manufacturing, and Jacobian economies) on the sectoral specialization and variety of KIBS across the Italian NUTS3 regions (provinces) from 2012 to

Il progetto si sviluppa su tre linee di ricerca tra loro correlate. La prima riguarda lo studio dei meccanismi di elaborazione, diffusione, ed analisi delle ingenti mole di dati riguardanti i diversi aspetti della pandemia da Covid-19 mediante tecniche matematico-statistiche. La seconda analizza a livello micro- e macro-economico gli effetti della pandemia sui principali indicatori economici, appu

This study aims to assess the relevance of migrants' job position in fostering Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The aim of our analysis is to see whether a higher share of migrants with management skills in each country of destination promote FDI towards migrant¿s country of origin and whether share of migrants in non-qualified positions has a negative impact on these FDI decisions. Following the
