The Dual Impact of Organic Farming Support
This study evaluates whether financial support for organic farming under the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) effectively contributes to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in agriculture. Using data from a panel of Italian farms between 2015 and 2022, we examine both the private benefits (farm income) and societal outcomes (GHG emission reductions) associated with the adoption of organic practices. To account for differences in farm‐level…
Latently Mediating
In this paper, we propose a Bayesian causal mediation approach to the analysis of experimental data when both the outcome and the mediator are measured through structured questionnaires based on Likert-scaled inquiries. Our estimation strategy builds upon the error-in-variables literature and, specifically, it leverages Item Response Theory to explicitly model the observed surrogate mediator and outcome measures. We employ their elicited latent c…

Key policy questions for ex-ante impact assessment of European agricultural and rural policies
Policies in the agricultural and rural sectors are of key importance in shaping their sustainable development. These policies are changing from market-based policies to policies that aim to influence farmers’ decision-making. Thus, the scientific literature supporting evidence-based policy-making must develop models that simulate individual decision-making (IDM) by farmers. This study aims to understand key policy objectives, related policy quest…
Factors affecting safe and healthy diet in older adults in Italy
Objective: To investigate, through a questionnaire, older adults’ demographic and socio-economic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes and practices in terms of food safety and healthy diet; and to develop dietary and hygiene indices able to represent participants’ nutritional and food safety behaviour, exploring their association with demographic and socio-economic factors. Design: One-year cross-sectional study. Setting: Gemelli Teaching Hospit…
