  • A Characterisation and an Application to the Economic Crisis in Italy
    Working Paper Series History dependent growth incidence: A characterisation and an application to the economic crisis in Italy Flaviana Palmisano Dirk Van de gaer ECINEQ WP 2013 - 314 ECINEQ 2013 - 314 November 2013 www.ecineq.org History dependent growth incidence: A characterisation and an application to the economic crisis in Italy∗ Flaviana Palmisanoy University of Bari, Italy Dirk Van de gaer Sherppa, Ghent University, IAE and CORE, Belgium Abstract We propose a characterisation of an aggregate measure of growth that takes into account the initial economic conditions of individuals. Our measure is a weighted average of individual income growth with weights that are decreasing with the rank of the individual in the initial income distribution. We apply our theoretical framework to evaluate the growth processes experienced by the Italian population in the last decade and find that the 2008-2010 crisis deteriorated the income growth of the initially poor disproportionately. This is compatible with the dual nature of the Italian labour market. Keywords: Individual income growth, directional income mobility, pro-poor growth, eco- nomic crisis. JEL Classification: D31, D63, I32. ∗We thank Paolo Brunori, Thomas Demuynck, Fran¸cois Maniquet, Vito Peragine, Xavi Ramos and Philippe Van Kerm for useful comments and suggestions.

  • Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization
    Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization By Ed Gareth Poole A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London, England July 2017 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 64,174 words. 2 Abstract This thesis consists of three papers that make a distinctive contribution to the study of decentralization in the areas of fiscal policy, legislative behavior and government responsiveness. The first paper revisits theories of substate tax policy that usually draw on evidence from stable federations. Investigating fiscal decentralization reforms in four European countries subject to intense center-periphery territorial competition, I find that incentives operating in such systems generate a paradox whereby prominent autonomist regions are among the least likely to make proactive changes after decentralization. I theorize this as the best response to central government attempts at blame-shifting by locking regions into making controversial policy changes.

    Dimitra PANAGIOTATOU, PhD Candidate [email protected] Queen Mary University of London School of Business and Management Supervisors: Professor Martin Laffin, and Senior Lecturer Dr. Stella Ladi May 2017 Short Paper prepared for the 8th Biennial Hellenic Observatory PhD Symposium on Contemporary Greece and Cyprus European Institute, London School of Economics and Political Science July 1st 2017 PhD Thesis Title: Investigating the correlation between the practice of EU Cohesion Policy and Euroscepticism: An exploratory qualitative analysis of selected EU regions PhD Thesis/Paper Abstract: The aim of the doctoral project consists in investigating whether and at which extent the practice of EU Cohesion Policy has inadvertently impacted upon the centrifugal forces and Eurosceptic dynamics observed in the EU, by focusing in particular on why the policy has not managed to create lasting positive images about the Union and thus contribute to the development and diffusion of the EU identity. Drawing from and aspiring to contribute to the literatures on Europeanization, Euroscepticism and Public Policy, the project explores the perceptions of supranational, national and sub-national elites about EU Cohesion Policy and the extent at which different strategies and organizational/operational modalities at national and sub- national levels influence the efficient implementation thereof. The methodological framework consists in exploratory qualitative case-study research of selected EU regions in Greece, the United Kingdom and Poland, whereas data and findings collated during elite interviews are interpreted through the lens of discourse analysis. The paper submitted to the Symposium represents a section of the literature review and some preliminary theoretical considerations relating to Euroscepticism.

  • CAPTITOLO 1 DEFINITIVO 2010.Cdr
    PIER GIORGIO MAGGIORA IL NOVECENTO A VALENZA POLITICA, ECONOMIA, LAVORO ED ALTRO SINO AI GIORNI NOSTRI Pier Giorgio Maggiora Un valenzano, nato ad Alessandria il 02-02-1942. Ha conseguito la laurea in Scienze Politiche e la laurea in Materie Letterarie, ad indirizzi storici, all'Università di Torino. Di cultura poliedrica, possiede diverse abilitazioni all'insegnamento (Italiano, Storia, Geografia, Educazione Civica, Tecnica, Artistica), è stato insegnante, preside, mandatario SIAE, fiscalista. Ha coperto molte cariche pubbliche e pubblicato diverse opere e scritti sulla realtà locale. Pier Giorgio Maggiora IL NOVECENTO A VALENZA Politica, economia, lavoro ed altro sino ai giorni nostri 3 Pubblicato nel marzo 2010 dalla Cartolibreria GIORDANO di Valenza Oggi sulla nostra storia nazionale e locale sembra si voglia mettere in discussione pressoché tutto: dal fascismo all'antifascismo, dal socialismo al capitalismo, per alcuni lo stesso carattere democratico della repubblica, per altri lo sviluppo economico del Paese e di questa Città. E' un processo critico e autocritico, tanto giusto quanto vano: diventa così difficile una ricostruzione che soddisfi un po' tutti. La nostra società è gravata da una crescente perdita di memoria; fare i conti con il passato è laborioso, poiché è necessario rivolgere criticamente lo sguardo ad una parte della propria vita e a quella degl’altri, a errori e illusioni, a giudizi sbagliati, a battaglie inutili, sovente con un sentimento regressivo: la nostalgia. Per cose perdute, per le proprie e le altrui bandiere, per un mondo diverso che non può tornare, ma una terra senza ricordi non ha futuro, non riconosce l’eredità che gli è propria e perde così la capacità di vivere con fiducia e speranza l’avvenire.

  • La Lega a Valenza
    IL SAGGIO La Lega a Valenza Un nuovo approfondimento storico del professor Maggiora 21 Febbraio 2021 ore 09:17 di PIER GIORGIO MAGGIORA VALENZA - Negli anni Ottanta ci sono la Lega Lombarda (poi Lega Nord) e il Piemont (poi Lega Nord Piemont), gruppi autonomisti che contestano il sistema dei partiti urlando “Roma ladrona”, mentre le loro parole d’ordine sono autonomia e secessione: paiono formazioni tribali con il carisma della verginità. Presto si congiungono e il partito sbocciato spaventerà senza sosta le cariatidi politiche, diventando ai giorni nostri perfino il più longevo del Paese. Nello stesso periodo, anche a Valenza, si aggregano alcuni cittadini ispirati da questo nuovo movimento che vuole la purezza, con la voglia di mordere la congrega e cambiarla. Inizialmente nessuno si preoccupa più di tanto di questi nuovi esemplari, che provengono da tutte le parti politiche, sbagliando clamorosamente. Ben presto il gruppo si consolida suscitando una crescente curiosità, molta sorpresa e qualche imbarazzo. Il 26-9-1987 s’inaugura a Valenza la sede provinciale del Movimento autonomista Piemontese denominato “Piemont”. La dimora di questo giovane partito è situata nei pressi della piscina comunale in via Castagnone. All’inaugurazione, oltre ai sostenitori e membri del partito giunti da tutta la regione, arriva il presidente del movimento Gipo Farassino. All’inizio, i leghisti valenzani sono pochi e incattiviti (assomigliano a dei “Robocop” sbarcati da qualche astronave), ma il numero ben presto aumenta. Successivamente il movimento di Farassino si unisce alla Lega Lombarda, nella lista elettorale Lega Lombarda - Alleanza Nord, quindi nel 1991 diventerà Lega Nord. Il 18 giugno 1989 si va alle urne per l’Europa.

  • La Nueva Derecha Radical Como Reto a La Gobernanza Y a La Calidad De La Democracia
    ARTÍCULOS Cuadernos de Gobierno y Administración Pública ISSN: e-2341-4839 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/cgap.65912 La nueva derecha radical como reto a la gobernanza y a la calidad de la democracia David Lerín Ibarra1 Recibido: 7/04/2019 Aceptado: 04/05/2019 Resumen. El avance y consolidación electoral de las formaciones políticas de nueva derecha radical, en las últimas décadas, supone un reto para la calidad de la democracia occidental. Este fenómeno se ha extendido por prácticamente toda Europa, socavando los avances en la construcción de sociedades multiculturales y cosmopolitas, haciendo, por tanto, peligrar la diversidad social de las mismas. En este artículo de carácter teórico, tenemos como objetivo la conceptualización de estas formaciones, distinguiendo la extrema derecha de la nueva derecha radical por medio de un análisis comparativo entre ambas corrientes. De esta forma y siguiendo esta metodología, analizaremos dos principios ideológicos de estos partidos que suponen un riesgo para la gobernanza democrática: la defensa de la nación étnica y la palingenesia ultranacionalista. Palabras clave: Derecha radical; nueva derecha radical; gobernanza; democracia; extrema derecha. [en] The new radical right as a challenge to governance and the democracy´s quality Abstract. The electoral growing and consolidation of radical new right political organizations, in the last decades, represents a challenge for the quality of western democracy. This phenomenon has spread by practically all Europe, undermining the progress already done in the construction of multicultural and cosmopolitan societies, therefore endangering their social diversity. In this article of a theoretical nature, we have as objective the conceptualization of these formations, distinguishing the extreme right from the new radical right through a comparative analysis between both currents.
