Henri Lefebvre and Cornelius Castoriadis's autogestion: Reinventing the relationship between public space and collective imaginary
Creators: name: Charitonidou, Marianna
Publisher: name: unknown
Year: 2023

description: The paper focuses on Cornelius Castoriadis and Henri Lefebvre's approaches and sheds light on imaginary dimension in the politics of self-governance. It shows how tactics of self-governance and the imaginary accompanying them revive all the contradictions between the State reason, on the one hand, and human reason and freedom, on the other hand. Castoriadis, in The Imaginary Institution of Society (L'institution imaginaire de la société), emphasizes the internal relation between what is intended (the development of autonomy) and that through which it is intended (the exercise of this autonomy). He notes that these are two moments of a single process and defines as revolutionary politics "a praxis which takes as its object the organization and orientation of society as they foster the autonomy of all its members and which recognizes that this presupposes a radical transformation of society, which will be possible, in its turn, only through the autonomous activity of individuals." Particular emphasis is placed on the text entitled "Autogestion et hiérarchie" (1974) that Castoriadis co-authored in 1974. My paper treats the following questions: How might a politics like this exist? On what could it be based and what would its implications be for the tactics of formation of urban design tools? Henri Lefebvre, in "Theoretical Problems of Autogestion" ("Problèmes Théoriques de l'Autogestion"), which was published in Autogestion in 1966, underscores the fact that autogestion introduces and stimulates a contradiction with the State. Autogestion, according to Lefebvre, calls into question the State's functioning as a constraining force erected above society as a whole, capturing and demanding the rationality that is inherent to social relations and practice. At the centre of the paper is the colloquium "Pour un urbanisme . . ." held in Grenoble in April 1974.

How Income Diversification, Size and Capital Ratio affect BHCs Performance?
Creators: name: Brighi, P.
name: VENTURELLI, Valeria
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Marco Biagi - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2013

description: This paper investigates whether the range of activities conducted by banks influences their performance and risk. Using an unbalanced panel dataset which includes 308 bank-year observations, for the period 2006-2011, corresponding to 52 Italian Bank Holding Companies in the last year, the core question is to analyse the effect of diversification across and within both traditional and non-traditional income and if the results have been affected by the financial crisis. The main results suggest that revenue diversification plays a role in determining bank performance. The relative effects appear, however, to be different in relation to banks? size and capital ratio. The results have strategic implications both for bank managers, regulators and supervisors for the consequences on banks? performance and stability.

description: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between posthumanism and sustainability and contribute to the interdisciplinary concept of posthuman sustainability. We conducted a scoping review of 45 peer-reviewed journal articles that met our inclusion criteria and employed co-occurrence analysis based on the clustering techniques of the VOSviewer. We identified five themes within the articles: post-humanism, post-anthropocentrism, post-dualism, post-Enlightenment, and post-technologism. Through our analysis, we found that posthumanism can offer insights into ecological issues and help promote alternative sustainable practices. We also identified three immediate concerns for post/humanities scholars: (1) fostering dialogue between critical humanist and posthumanist scholarship based on onto-epistemological plurality, (2) achieving conceptual clarity in the field, and (3) advocating for meaningful engagement with indigenous worldviews in a multidimensional and multitemporal manner. By exploring the relationship between posthumanism and sustainability, we hope to expand our knowledge of the urgent ecological issues we face and contribute to interdisciplinary efforts to address them.
International financial flows, domestic banks, and the economic development of the periphery: Italy 1861-1913

description: This paper analyses the impact of different sources of financing (foreign capital, migrants? remittances, and domestic banks intermediation) on economic development in Italy between 1861 and WWI. Existing literature has analysed the role of these channels of financial intermediation
separately, while this paper for the first time considers them in conjunction.
Using IRF from a Cholesky identification structure of a VAR model and relying on an original dataset that combines the most recent series of several financial and economic aggregates, this paper shows that both international capital and domestic saving had a significant impact on investment, while remittances
did not. Foreign capital was invested directly, but also via domestic banks, in particular the ?German-style? universal banks. Finally, foreign and d
omestic capital had different attitudes towards the types of investment (construction vs. plant, machinery and transport equipment) and industries they financed. Combined together, these results shed a new light on the process of economic development of Italy and, more generally, of peripheral economies in the age of the international gold standard.

description: In parallel with the interest in networks of innovation on the part of the academic literature, policymakers are increasingly recognizing the important systemic nature of innovation processes, involving many agents often engaged in networks of relationships (OECD, 1997; Mytelka and Smith, 2002; European Commission, 2003; Nauwelaers and Wintjes, 2008), and they are increasingly supporting the creation of networks among firms and other types of organizations. Policies for innovation networks usually aim to support joint R&D, technological development or technology transfer projects or even, sometimes, networking per se (with a view to create a ?critical mass? of experts or users in a certain technology). At the same time, these policy interventions may also help the participants improve their ability to perform collaborative innovation, by allowing them to gain experience in working with external partners on a specific activity. Such behavioural outcomes, while not generally considered the main objective of these policies, have the potential to generate long-lasting beneficial changes in the participants? competences and abilities (G�k and Edler, 2012). An important question for policy design is what kind of networks should be supported, if the objective of the policy is not just to fund ?successful? innovation projects, but also to increase the participants? ability to engage in collaborative innovation. Should policies simply provide funding to innovation networks on the basis of an assessment of the project they intend to realize, or should they promote the setup of networks with specific features, in order to increase the agents? innovative potential through networking?

The Contribution of Proportional Taxes and Tax-Free Cash Benefits to Income Redistribution over the Period 2005-2018: Evidence from Italy
Creators: name: BOSCOLO, STEFANO
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Marco Biagi - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2019

description: Over the last two decades a growing interest in understanding what determines the redistributive role of tax-benefit systems has emerged worldwide. In the case of Italy, previous analyses were mainly focused on quantifying the contribution of marginal tax rates, deductions and tax credits to the redistributive capacity of personal income tax (PIT), while neglecting the effect on income redistribution of proportional taxes and income sources exempt from taxation such as tax-free cash benefits. This paper aims to fill this gap by applying two alternative Gini-based decomposition methodologies (Onrubia et al., 2014; Urban, 2014) to the redistributive effects of the Italian taxbenefit system over the period 2005-2018. The contribution of each tax-benefit instrument is quantified for several scenarios which diverge from each other in that they are representative of different degrees of extension of the tax-benefit system under examination.
Analysing Changes in Discursive Constructions of Rural Areas in the Context of Demographic Change. Towards Counterpoints in the Dominant Discourse on “Dying Villages”
Creators: name: Christmann, Gabriela B.
Publisher: name: Federal Institute for Population Research
Year: 2017
Subjects: Demographic change; Structurally weak rural areas; Discourse; Changing communicative constructions of spaces; Community development

description: Empirically, this article is based on a research project on rural municipalities in structurally weak regions of Germany suffering from demographic change and attempting to find ways out of their crisis situation through novel approaches in community development. The example of the village of Treptitz in Saxony, which was investigated using an ethnographic discourse analysis, demonstrated that a small-scale discourse (of restricted spatial range) developed in the context of its innovative sewage works and biogas project. There, commonly shared knowledge could establish a context in which the village is considered an ingenious, socially intact, resolute and thus vibrant village; a village that actively pursues its prospects for the future. This small-scale discourse defies the wider demographic discourse, which, as the article shows, focuses primarily on “dying villages.”
For the conceptualisation of the empirical observations, the article is based on the assumption that it is in communications and in public discourses – in particular specific recurrent contents on rural areas and demographic change – that specific knowledge elements and reality constructions of rural areas emerge and stabilise within society. This assumption includes the idea that when the content of public discourses on rural areas change, for example through small-scale discursive counterpoints, it is possible for new knowledge elements and new constructions of reality to develop. Against this background, the approach of a (new) discursive construction of spaces is selected as theoretical starting point for the analysis. By referring to the communicative-constructivism approach and by integrating the sociology of knowledge approach to discourse, it is perfectly suited for theoretically spelling out changing discursive constructions of rural areas in the context of demographic change.

Campaign Spending and Rents in a Probabilistic Voting Model
Creators: name: RIGHI, Simone
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Marco Biagi - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2015

description: How the levels of corruption and embezzlement of a political system are influenced by electoral campaigns? How rent extraction can be reduced with anti-corruption policies? We answer these questions in the context of a probabilistic voting model characterized by the absence of political pressure groups and by the presence of ideological voters whose preferences can be manipulated by political candidates through campaign spending. Our main innovation is the introduction of an analysis of candidates? campaign choices in the literature on the agency costs of political delegation. Moreover, we contribute to the literature establishing a direct link between campaign expenditures and the utility of the voters. We find that campaigning choices are orthogonal to decisions about rent extractions and that candidates always invest a significative amount of their resources of their expected rents in advertisements. As the electoral competition itself does not suffices to reach an efficient outcome, we then study how welfare policies can reduce the inefficiencies of the electoral competition. We show that limitations of campaign expenditures are, in absence of lobbies, always welfare decreasing for voters. Indeed, our main policy suggestion is to introduce an anti-corruption, i.e. a policy that reduces the ability of candidates to extract rents by abating the incentives to rent accumulation. We show that the introduction of such tax can make the citizens better off. Surprisingly, it may also make the candidates better off if the policy is not sufficiently funded. Finally, we establish the conditions under which a policy of this kind can achieve the popular support required for an effective implementation and we show that these conditions are difficult to achieve in countries with large income inequalities.

description: Although the many extant Sanskrit versions of the story of King Śibi and the dove have been thoroughly studied, one version, from the Vahnipurāṇa, has so far escaped the attention of scholars. This paper presents a new, critical edition of the Sanskrit text, based on all available material — an existing edition, quotations, and a recently discovered Nepalese fragment — followed by a translation. Connections to Buddhist and Jain versions of the story are discussed. The long afterlife of the text presents an opportunity to study how it has been reused and recast over the course of many centuries, quoted in dharmanibandhas and harvested for material for other stories.
Assessing the information content of option-based volatility forecastsusing fuzzy regression methods
Creators: name: MUZZIOLI, Silvia
name: B. De Baets
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Politica - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2011

description: Volatility is a key variable for portfolio selection models, option pricing models and risk management techniques. Volatility can be estimated and forecasted by using either historical information or option prices. The present paper focuses on option-based volatility forecasts for three main reasons. First, for the forward looking nature of option-based forecasts (as opposed to the backward looking nature of historical information); second, for the average superiority, documented in the literature, of option-based estimates in forecasting future realized volatility; third, for the widespread use of option prices in the computation of the most important market volatility indexes (see e.g. the VIX index for the Chicago Board Options Exchange). The aim of this paper is to assess the information content on future realised volatility of different option-based volatility forecasts, through the use of fuzzy regression methods. The latter methods offer a suitable tool to handle both imprecision in measurements and fuzziness of the relationship among variables. Therefore, they are particularly useful for volatility forecasting, since the variable of interest (realised volatility) is unobservable and a proxy for it is used. Moreover, measurement errors in both realised volatility and volatility forecasts may affect the regression results. Fuzzy regression methods have not yet been used in volatility forecasting. Our case study is based on intra-daily data on the DAX-index options market.

Year: 2016

description: In recent years growing attention has been paid to the dynamic interaction
between productivity growth and unemployment in the US economy. In this paper we aim
to investigate the effects of productivity growth shocks on unemployment, both in the short
run and in the medium - long run. We adopt a structural VAR approach and find that,
in the last decades, productivity shocks have exerted persistent effects on unemployment.
Moreover, these shocks have played an important role in explaining the fluctuations in
the unemployment rate at different frequencies. This conclusion seems to be robust to
alternative identification strategies of the structural shocks.

description: Equity crowdfunding is an emerging financing tool that can help social start-ups and firms to bring people and resources together around a project. This paper focuses on equity crowdfunding. We look at this as a complementary financing channel useful for promoting innovation and social change by paring down the traditional features of financial investment. Our unique dataset regards all the Italian Equity Crowdfunding campaigns launched by different platforms on the Italian equity crowdfunding market from 2013 to 2018. Our aim is twofold: a) to describe some characteristics of the Italian Equity crowdfunding market; b) to describe the characteristics of the social firms which have had recourse to equity crowdfunding, in order to investigate which factors influence the campaign?s success. The results suggest that social firms? investment offerings are not different from those of non-social ones, but so far, the Italian equity crowdfunding market does not seem suitable for supporting the financial needs of this type of firm, on the side of either investors or firms.
Industrial policy and artisan firms in Italy, 1951-1981

description: This paper shows that after the Second World War the Italian State carried out an artisanship policy of an extent that was unparalleled in Europe. This policy was based on the provision, on the one hand, of lower tax and employers' contributions and welfare benefits at reduced premiums and, on the other, hand, of 'substitutive factors': soft loans, services and promotional initiatives by state agencies. Such an artisan policy played a twofold role: partly 'defensive', protecting a segment of marginal firms, and partly 'proactive', prompting the modernisation and innovation of more promising firms.

description: The foreign policy ideology that is communicated by the rulers and foreign policy makers of the Islamic Republic of Iran between 2005 and 2010 builds on the identification of Iran as a changed nation through the 1979 Revolution, and presents Iran as an example for other nations in a changing world. This dissertation shows how Iran's foreign policy behaviour can be made sense of in the context of this ideology. For this purpose, Iran's foreign policy behaviour, regionally and internationally, is discussed against the background of the ideology as communicated by Iran's president and supreme leader as to show this behaviour was made possible in the context of the discourse. Also, the dissertation provided two case-studies, one on the nuclear issue and one on the 2009 events, to show how the discourse on these specific issues stands in relation to foreign policy behaviour, and how this fits with Iran's broader discourse. It show's how the Islamic Republic's foreign policy behaviour is not only made possible in the context of ideology, but ideology is also reinforced through foreign policy. Particularly, as Iranian leaders are engaged in an active shaping of the international order to the advantage of the Iranian regime and the goals they see for the Iranian nation.

description: The 2012 earthquake in Emilia-Romagna (Italy) has shaken up the collective understanding on the socioeconomic importance of a vast territory that generates almost 2% of Italian GDP. The area affected by the earthquake is characterized by the presence of important industrial and agricultural districts, and by good practices of local governance that are internationally renowned. Private and public buildings, factories, offices and retail shops, historical and cultural heritage sites have been severely damaged. Not only, but it set in motion transformations in the socio-economic system that might have unexpected consequences and that undermine the quick recovery of the local system: different agents, at different levels, taking individual and collective decisions, generate a cascade of changes that interact with its evolution path. Indeed, earthquakes pose challenges, but provide unprecedented opportunities: strategic decisions by economic and political agents, newly available financial resources, coordination or lack of coordination among main stakeholders, and so on. The following paper provides an overview of the first results of Energie Sisma Emilia research project: it aims at collecting and disseminating relevant knowledge and evidence in order to design policies. In particular, it identifies the agents propelling innovation processes, and analyses their strategies in ever-changing environment. The paper starts with a socio-economic analysis of the area struck by the earthquake, followed by the results of three of the focus groups conducted. Eventually, it illustrates a specific innovation: the introduction and implementation of the digital infrastructure ?Mude?.
La relazione tra credito e comportamento suicidario in Italia

description: In this study we assessed the relation between suicide rates and credit cycle in Italy between 1990 and 2014, by means of fixed effects panel regressions, stratified by age, gender, and region. We also tested the possible mitigating role played by active labor market programs, public unemployment spending and overall expenditure in social protection measures. Credit cycle was proxied by the rate of growth of the credit to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio. The analysis pointed out that in Italy credit cycle and suicide rates are complementary: when the former decreases, the latter increase. This association is noticeable among men: a decrease of 1% in the rate of growth of the credit to GDP ratio induces an increase of around 1.18-1.31% in the suicide rate. Young men aged 25-34 seem more vulnerable to this phenomenon. The association between credit cycle and suicidal behavior is noticeable both during normal and abnormal time periods (in this study, the latter is represented by the late-2000s financial crisis), in particular, among men aged 34-44. In contrast, suicidal behaviors among women do not seem to be influenced by credit cycle, but only by severe economic crises. With respect to social protection measures, only the amount of public unemployment spending proved to significantly moderate the relation between suicides and credit cycle, though with a regional specificity (only in the North-East of Italy). Our study suggests that access to credit may be a major determinant of psychological well-being for men, but not for women, both during normal times and during severe economic recessions. Also, both credit and social protection measures might be considered proxies of social capital, which are potentially able to counterbalance the increased level of anomie that may accompany periods of financial instability. Further research is needed to test the validity of our findings and assumptions in case of other countries.

Corridor Implied Volatility and the Variance Risk Premium in the Italian Market
Creators: name: MUZZIOLI, Silvia
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Marco Biagi - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2011

description: Corridor implied volatility introduced in Carr and Madan (1998) and recently implemented in Andersen and Bondarenko (2007) is obtained from model-free implied volatility by truncating the integration domain between two barriers. Corridor implied volatility is implicitly linked with the concept that the tails of the risk-neutral distribution are estimated with less precision than central values, due to the lack of liquid options for very high and very low strikes. However, there is no golden choice for the barriers levels?, which will probably change depending on the underlying asset risk neutral distribution. The latter feature renders its forecasting performance mainly an empirical question.The aim of the paper is twofold. First we investigate the forecasting performance of corridor implied volatility by choosing different corridors with symmetric and asymmetric cuts, and compare the results with the preliminary findings in Muzzioli (2010b). Second, we examine the nature of the variance risk premium and shed light on the information content of different parts of the risk neutral distribution of the stock price, by using a model-independent approach based on corridor measures. To this end we compute both realised and model-free variance measures which accounts for drops versus increases in the underlying asset price. The comparison is pursued by using intra-daily synchronous prices between the options and the underlying asset.
An Analysis of Protection of Personality Rights in India
Creators: HC User
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2023

description: Rights are something which every people enjoy during their lifetime and out of numerous rights, right to privacy is something every human being would like to have. Right to privacy gives birth to certain other rights which help the individuals to have protection over their reputation, specific or distinct characteristics that every people have, and such can be termed as their personality. But problem arises when there is violation of such reputation and personalities as there are no Legislation in India dealing with these rights. In this era of Digital India, it is a trend among individuals to show case their presence in the World and such is done mostly through social media. So, show casing their presence implies show casing their personality and here comes the necessity of protection of personality rights.   The paper would be comprising of a brief introduction regarding the evolution of such rights and followed by it would be the concept of Personality rights, judicial pronouncements regarding it, how protection has been given to such rights. Next, we would investigate who can be considered as a celebrity. Next, we would understand the relationship between the privacy and defamation and how they are dealt together. Then will discuss about a trending topic regarding personality rights continuing even after death of the person. Next, we will touch upon and discuss the acts in which implicitly or explicitly certain protection has been provided to personality rights. Lastly, we will conclude by discussing briefly about the need of a legislation for protection of these rights.

The distributive impact of tax evasion in Italy

description: The authors adopt a ?direct approach? and microsimulation techniques to measure distributive effect of tax evasion in Italy. Previous research found that income declared in the SHIW was, on average, higher than the equivalent figures on the tax authority?s files. The percentage of incomeconcealed from the tax authorities decreased with income; consequently, if tax had notbeen evaded, disposable income would have been distributed in a slightly less equal.The present study is going to adopt their same approach, albeit with an explicitexamination and discussion of the question of whether the observed redistributive effectsof tax compliance is a result of re-ranking produced by tax evasion. Our results suggest that the assumptions made regarding re-ranking effects are bound to play a major role in redistributive effects estimations.
Understanding The Necessity Of Rebooting Copyright Laws In Context Of The Advancement Of AI

description: John McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence" in 1956, but this term remains undefined legally. It's machines ability to do clever things and it is the science of letting computers perform tasks that people do with intelligence. AI is the ability of computers to think, perceive, learn, problem-solve, and make decisions. AI has hindered Intellectual Property Rights especially Copyright. When computers were invented, copyright laws were not envisioned. AI now completes task without human intervention. Before then, computers were tools that required human input. Copyright protects human creativity. Copyright protects moral and economic rights. Authors create copyrightable works. There are many restrictions to safeguard human work, but when AI creates copyrightable material, the laws need to be changed. The international community must develop a solution for AI-generated work's authorship and ownership under copyright law.   AI-generated works will suffer from non-human authorship. The sui generis system or AI-specific copyright laws may solve this challenge. AI-generated works ought to be more strictly regulated, and human invention should be prioritised above machine creativity. Hence, a comprehensive strategy must be established immediately. This research paper elaborates the necessity of revamp copyright laws for AI and AI-generated works.

Miss Showgirl an enduring anachronism

description: Once again, country show societies are gearing up for the annual New South Wales Miss Showgirl competition. In 2008 500 young women entered the pageant at a local level representing 120 show societies, with the Sydney Royal Easter Show finals. The 2011 Camden Miss Showgirl has attracted seven young local women – four of the seven are university students, two business owners and one business manager.

The competition has come a long way since its beginnings in 1962. It has seen off a variety of other pageants and successfully competes with several others. In these days of television celebrity fashion competitions, the Miss Showgirl competition is a bit of an anachronism. Rather quaint, yet with an underlying strength that is endearing to supporters.

description: The Lankina Russian protest event dataset (LaruPED) is a project by Tomila Lankina that covers a wide range of protests across Russia in the time period from March 2007 to December 2016. It defines a protest as: "Citizens' public expression of dissent or critique" (Lankina 2019) and is thus not imposing a necessary number of participants as a prerequisite for a protest to be included in this dataset. The unit of analysis in the LaruPED dataset is the event-day-location, meaning events that occur in multiple locations are coded as separate entries. In total the dataset contains 5.824 coded protests (Lankina 2019). As of summer 2024, it is unclear whether work on the data collection is continuing.
The data review includes a link to the LSE Research Online website from which the dataset, as well as additional information about the dataset in the form of a codebook and a descriptive text, is available for download.

description: Italy and Norway are characterized by different co-residence rates of young adults with youth in Italy being more likely to live in their parents' house much longer than Norwegian youth. This paper aims at analysing the reasons of household's patterns in both countries by looking at cultural, income and employment factors allowing a gender comparisons of the different results. Particular attention is provided to the different effect of youth employment conditions on their living arrangements in the two countries. Multivariate analyses conducted on 2007 (a time where the economic prospects and the labour market situation were relatively un-dramatic in both countries) EU SILC microdata show a higher impact of income and employment condition on the living arrangements of Italian youth with a significant impact of the area where they live and dissimilarities by gender in the presence of different living arrangements and in the impact of the different factors.

description: The Camden Miss Showgirl competition is, in many ways, an anachronism from the past. It has survived for 49 years under the onslaught of feminism, post-modernism, globalization and urbanisation. A worthy feat indeed. The competition is still popular, and the local press is always a strong supporter. The 2010 Camden Showgirl competition attracted seven young women.  So what has been the continuing appeal  of the competition?
