Public subsidies and repertoire originality in Italian theatres
This study empirically examines whether public subsidies increase the originality of programming decisions of 40 Italian opera and drama theatres from the 2015–16 to the 2022–23 season, exploiting a newly assembled panel dataset. It innovates on the literature as it (1) provides the first panel data analysis of the relationship, allowing to examine the originality of programming choices also over time; (2) calculates the conventionality indexes s…
Conditional political legislation cycles
The Political Legislation Cycles theory predicts peaks of legislative production before elections, as incumbents adopt vote-maximizing strategies to secure reelection. Like for budget cycles, legislative cycles can be interpreted as quantitative evidence of a dynamic inefficiency in the agency relationship between voters and politicians. This paper presents the first panel test of PLC theory, to identify which institutional features generate this…

Evaluating the quality of Unesco World Heritage List
This study verifies whether the number of criteria of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) satisfied by a site in the UNESCO World Heritage List (WHL) can be considered as an ordinal measure of its quality against the alternative hypotheses that: a) quality can be measured just dichotomously, by inclusion in the WHL); b) the multiplicity of existing OUV is just meant to capture alternative aesthetic criteria expressed by different cultures. This iss…

Legislative Cycles in a Semipresidential System
The political-legislation-cycle theory predicts a peak of legislative production in the pre-electoral period, when the legislator focuses on voters' welfare in order to be reelected. This paper tests the theory on the French semipresidential system, characterized by direct election of both the executive and the legislative branch. We use a data set that encompasses all the legislation passed in France from 1959 to 2012 at a monthly rate, and find…
Distribution of transfers and soft budget spending behaviors
When and how politicians take ‘scandalous’ decisions
Decentralization as a constraint to Leviathan
Are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the analysis of political competition
The time-varying independence of Italian peak judicial institutions
Political competition and economic performance
The political legislation cycle
The Determinants of Judiciary Independence
This paper tests the explanatory power of alternative theories on the determinants of judiciary independence using annual and decision-based data on the Italian Constitutional Court. The estimates show that structural measures of judiciary independence, such as the share of constitutional judges elected by the ranks of the professional judiciary and the age of justices, are positively correlated with independent behavior of the Court. Contrary to…
