Can an apple a day keep Covid-19 away? A cluster analysis of the long-term Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on the consumption of apples in Italy
Purpose Apples have always been considered a healthy product able to provide curative properties to consumers. In Italy, there is a long tradition of apple consumption and production both as a fresh product and as processed food. However, as with many other products, the consumption of fruits and vegetables and, more specifically apples, has been drastically affected by the first lockdown in 2020. In this project, the authors investigate whether …
Analysis of the wine consumer’s behavior
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to attempt to outline the standard profile of the typical wine consumer, by identifying some relevant features that can influence his/her purchasing choices. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to identify the pre-eminent attributes for wine consumers and the different levels of importance that consumers ascribe to the attributes identified at the time of purchase. Design/methodology/approach In order to…
The multidimensional structure of subjective well-being
The paper looks at subjective well-being, defined in terms of individuals’ self-reported satisfaction with life, investigating nine dimensions (domains). The combination of the selected domains is obtained by applying methodologies known as composite indices. Compared to what is already known, this study explores well-being in a rural area with the aim to analyse if phenomena such as depopulation, abandonment of agricultural activities, economic …
A little history of economics, an accessible introduction to 2,000 years of economic thought
This engaging book attracts the reader’s attention from the very beginning. Niall Kishtainy writes with accessible language, dealing with his subject with great simplicity, with daily examples that
Economic analysis and energy valorisation of by-products of the wine supply chain
The paper reports the analysis of biomass derived from maintenance of a vineyard, to assess its potential as an alternative energy source, instead of the usual disposal of the wine supply chain’s residuals. The site studied is within the province of Messina, Sicily, in the area of Mamertino wine PDO, a wine of superior quality. The analysis suggests that use of this kind of biomass may allow a fossil fuel such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to …
A feasibility study for a project of alternative energy production in an agritourism business in Sicily
The exhaustion of fossil fuels compromises sustainable development. This paper reports a study of the feasibility of an agritourism business aiming at producing renewable photovoltaic and piezoelectric energy. It evaluates the positive environmental impact of strategies to promote restructuring projects of rural businesses. The research examines not only the economic benefit for the farm, arising from the use of piezoelectric energy, but also the…
