On minty variational inequalities and increasing along rays functions
(2005)In this paper we investigate the link between a Minty variational inequality and the notion of increasing along rays function. In particular we show that vector increasing along rays functions can be characterized in term ... -
On the FDI: attracting property of privatization
(2010)In the present paper we provide an explanation of why privatization may attract foreign investors willing to enter a regional market. Privatization turns the formerly-public rm into a less aggressive competitor since pro ... -

Pointwise well-posedness in vector optimization and variational inequalities
(2005)In this note we consider some notions of well-posedness for scalar and vector variational inequalities and we recall their connections with optimization problems. Subsequently, we investigate similar connections between ... -
Privatization in oligopoly: the impact of the shadow cost of public funds
(2008)The aim of this paper is to investigate the welfare effect of privatization in oligopoly when the government takes into account the distortionary effect of rising funds by taxation (shadow cost of public funds). We analyze ... -
R&D policy evaluation: a case study on Law 46/1982 in Italy
(2011)Even in the context of neo-classical theory, characterized by a strong trust in the virtues of the free market, the need for a policy intervention in the field of research and innovation is theorized, because of the presence ... -
Regional multipliers across the Italian regions
(2020)This paper estimates the multipliers of different types of government spending in the 20 Italian administrative regions throughout 1994–2016. To this end, we use a Bayesian random effect panel vector autoregressive model, ... -
Relazioni tra imprese e università nel biotech-salute dell'Emilia Romagna. Una valutazione sulla base della co-authorship delle pubblicazioni scientifiche
(2007)Questo lavoro analizza il tema delle collaborazioni tra istituti di ricerca e imprese e le loro evoluzioni recenti, evidenziando il ruolo che può avere in un tale tipo di analisi un indicatore relativamente poco utilizzato, ... -
La ricerca in collaborazione con l'industria dei docenti universitari: aggiornamento sugli esiti di un questionario
