From ownership to access
Although peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing is increasingly promoted as a flexible, resource-efficient mobility option, its adoption in many countries, including Italy, remains limited. Policymakers are exploring fiscal and regulatory measures to stimulate participation, but evidence on how such policies affect potential car owners (supply) and renters (demand), as well as how responses vary across population groups, remains scarce. This study addres…
Digital infrastructure and territorial heterogeneity in quality-of-life outcomes
Digital infrastructure is widely recognized as a key driver of territorial development, yet its effects on multidimensional quality of life (QoL) remain insufficiently understood. This paper examines the impact of ultra-fast broadband expansion on QoL across Italian provinces over the period 2014–2022. Exploiting the gradual and policy-driven rollout of broadband infrastructure in rural “white areas”, we implement a continuous-treatment differenc…
A large-scale seismic risk approach accounting for local site effects and modelling of building exposure based on open-access datasets
This study proposes an enhanced macroseismic framework for regional seismic risk assessment that accounts for litho-stratigraphic site effects and refines building exposure modelling using open-access spatial datasets. The methodology is applied to the Campania region in southern Italy, combining official census data with high-resolution building height estimates to disaggregate structural typologies into three classes: low-rise (1-3 storeys), mi…
Exploring the link between Cohesion Funds and tourism attractiveness
This study investigates the relationship between EU Cohesion Policy-funded tourism investments and the attractiveness of Italian municipalities. Utilizing data from OpenCoesione, the research classifies tourism projects to differentiate between various investment types and estimates their association with alternative tourism outcomes through spatial panel models. The findings reveal that Cohesion Policy funds are generally linked to higher touris…
Assessing the vulnerability of tourist destinations to overtourism
Overtourism is a complex issue affecting destinations in various ways. This study identifies the main causes and presents a framework using eight indicators related to transportation, accommodation, cultural and natural resources, and economic factors. Focusing on EU Mediterranean regions, the research applies this methodology at the municipal level in an Italian region with high seasonal tourist traffic. The findings highlight overtourism risk i…
Vulnerability and resilience analysis of road network
The vulnerability and resilience of road networks are important and widely discussed properties in the literature, providing insights into the behaviour and response of road networks when faced with disruptive natural or anthropogenic phenomena. The goal of this study was to provide an extensive literature review of scientific articles in the field of vulnerability and resilience of transportation road networks. To this aim, a Systematic Literatu…
Rethinking poverty
In an age of increasing digitalization, it is imperative for policymakers and researchers to grasp the profound impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on poverty. This paper investigates the relationship between ICT poverty and the absolute poverty index across the Global South and North from 2012 to 2022. Furthermore, it assesses the influence of ICT poverty on the risk of poverty or social exclusion in various geographic ar…
How vulnerable are road networks to shocks? An analysis through accessibility indicators
The purpose of the paper is to present an analysis of vulnerability of road networks through an accessibility indicator and a link importance index (LII). Specifically, the objective is to identify which traffic disruptions generate the most significant impacts. This methodology has been applied to three case studies, the medium-sized urban areas in southern Italy. The proposed accessibility indicator represents a measure of the vulnerability of …
Spatial pricing strategies in Italy’s urban gasoline markets
Additional evidence is essential to determine the extent and manner in which spatial variables influence the variation in gasoline prices across cities. In particular, we focus on two major Italian cities: Milan and Naples, which are the second and third largest cities after Rome. By employing a spatial econometric modelling approach, we analyse the impact of competition and territorial variables characterising the urban area within a specified r…
The contribution of e-scooters services to urban transport resilience
A redundant transport network enhances the utility of transport services users by offering multiple alternative modes capable of supporting and substituting for each other when one becomes temporarily unavailable. The objective of this paper is to present empirical evidence of the role redundancy may play in e-scooter sharing services when transit services face temporary disruptions. To achieve this, we analyzed trip data from e-scooter sharing s…
Transport endowment, knowledge spillovers and firm performance in emerging economies
This work explores the link between firm performance in emerging economies and transport infrastructure endowment, as a key element of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. We ground on the idea that transport infrastructures, by enabling connectivity, interactions and the exchange of knowledge and ideas, have the potential to enhance commercial opportunity recognition, technological development and, thus, firm economic performance. We also emphasize th…

Museums’ Economic Performance and Directors’ Recruitment Process
We study the economic effects of a reform of the national museum sector, the so-called Franceschini Reform, implemented in 2015. The reform introduced a new organization of the national museum system. One of the most innovative instruments of the policy was the establishment of a different method - an international call for applications - in the selection of directors of major museums (museums of “national interest”). The article studies the effe…

Do risk and competition trigger conditional cooperation? Evidence from public good experiments
We investigate the effect of intra‐group competition and risk marginal per capita returns on subjects' cooperative behavior in a one‐shot public good game—following the well‐known approach proposed by Fischbacher, Gächter, and Fehr (2001) and extending the Colasante et al. (2018, 2019) parametrization. We study the interaction between environment and social preferences and test the existence of a causal relationship of risk and competition over c…

Improving the prediction of air pollution peak episodes generated by urban transport networks
This paper illustrates the early results of ongoing research developing novel methods to analyse and simulate the relationship between trasport-related air pollutant concentrations and easily accessible explanatory variables. The final scope is to integrate the new models in traditional traffic management support systems for a sustainable mobility of road vehicles in urban areas. This first stage concerns the relationship between the hourly mean …
