Seventy Years of Electoral Fragmentation in Italy: Entropy, Rank-Size Modelling, and Cluster Analysis for Regime Identification
This article develops a novel data-driven framework to detect electoral fragmentation regimes using municipal data from Italian national elections (1948–2018), for both the Camera dei Deputati and the Senato della Repubblica, the two Italian chambers with nation-wide legislative authority. We integrate the B-ary entropy with rank-size modelling based on the Universal Law and apply k-means clustering to identify structural shifts and latent electo…
Examining the relationship between content length and engagement with news outlets on multiple social media platforms
The rise of social media has profoundly transformed the landscape of content production and dissemination, amplifying the competition for user attention within a scenario of information overabundance. To emerge from this overwhelming volume, content producers often act under the popular assumption that users favor shorter content, and that brevity enhances engagement. This study examines the relationship between news-related content and user enga…
Shocks and reconfiguration in global value chains: A complex network perspective on the global south
The growing interconnectedness of supply linkages has amplified the transmission of external shocks through Global Value Chains (GVCs), most notably during the COVID-19 pandemic, raising concerns about the vulnerability of global production systems. However, existing evidence largely focuses on advanced economies, leaving limited systematic analysis of how disruptions reshape production networks in the Global South. This paper addresses this gap …
How do partner selection strategies affect the amount of funding in collaborative research projects? Evidence using the dual-projection approach
The selection of partners plays a crucial role in determining the success of collaborative projects. This study makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature on collaborative research and development by examining the impact of different partner selection strategies on the funding received in collaborative research projects. Previous studies have not shown sufficiently how collaborating with new partners as opposed to existing ones infl…
A novel methodology to disambiguate organization names: An application to EU Framework Programmes data
The concept of collaborative R&D has been increasing interest among scholars and policy-makers, making collaboration a pivotal determinant to innovate nowadays. The availability of reliable data is a necessary condition to obtain valuable results. Specifically, in a collaborative environment, we must avoid mistaken identities among organizations. In many datasets, indeed, the same organization can appear in a non-univocal way. Thus its informatio…
The complex interplay between Covid-19 and economic activity
Testing for Localization with Entropy-Based Measures
Outdoor light pollution and Covid-19: The Italian case
Teams in new ventures: Gender, human capital and motivation
Purpose This paper aims to dismantle the idea that sex per se explains entrepreneurial outcomes and demonstrates the influence of a gendered motivation on forging and shaping new venture teams, which is a disruptive choice affecting the future of start-ups. Design/methodology/approach A two-level research model is validated on data from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics II (PSED II), with a system of simultaneous equations. First, if te…
An economic efficiency indicator for assessing income opportunities in sustainable waste management
A Network-Based Measure of the Socio-Economic Roots of the Migration Flows
Socio-economical analysis of Italy: The case of hagiotoponym cities
This paper considers joining the economical characteristics of Italian cities with a relevant \nsociological aspect of the Catholic saints. More than in other countries, a high percentage of \nItalian cities are toponyms coming from the name of specific saints (hagiotoponym). The link \nwith Italian religious views is distinct. The statistical analysis of the economic contributions \nthat each hagiotoponym city provides to the Italian GDP is cons…
