Experts and the people
Technocracy has become an increasingly salient feature of contemporary European democracies, yet its implications for political participation remain insufficiently explored. This article examines how the growing presence of technocratic ministers in government is associated with citizens’ political participation across Europe. Drawing on individual-level data from the European Values Study (2017–2018) and original measures of technocratic appoint…
Building Bridges or Forging Bonds? Exploring the Role of Social Capital in the Reception of Ukrainian Refugees in Italy
In the immediate aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine, over 6 million Ukrainians fled their country to various European countries, including Italy. Various entities in the country, ranging from third‐sector organizations to private citizens, expressed their interest in hosting these refugees, with significant subnational heterogeneity. What influenced this varying willingness to be hosts? We aim to provide some preliminary answers to this questio…

This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit the randomness of both the earthquake and the pandemic to construct a natural experiment. Employing a qu…
If you really love nothing. Evaluating second-order factors in the case of Italian constitutional referendum of 2020
In Covid We Trust
By changing many aspects of everyday life, the COVID-19 pandemic and the social distance policies implemented to face it have affected the behaviour of people all over the world. Has the pandemic also affected people’s approach towards the divine? Previous evidence suggests that prayer searches on the Internet rose during the pandemic and that people tend to rely mainly on intrinsic rather than extrinsic religiousness to cope with adversity. In t…
Assessing the effectiveness of mandatory outdoor mask policy
You want me, but I no longer want you. The punishment-reward mechanism and institutional quality in Italian regions
Following the principal theory concerning the foundations of voting behaviour it is possible to assert that citizens hold politicians and their parties accountable through their votes. From this perspective, if citizens perceive the quality of local institutions to be a result of the policies enacted by local authorities they may punish or reward the incumbent parties. By means of a quantitative approach, our results, based on the analysis of 15 …
Unveiling the Real Madrid effect
Contributing to the literature on so-called irrelevant events, this article aims to investigate the existence of a relation between football results and voters’ behaviour. There are indeed reasons to believe that football-related acrimony could influence electoral behaviour. More precisely, does the rank of a rival team and the distance between it and local teams influence the behaviour of the electorate? Spain seems to be the perfect case for st…
Modeling Central Asia’s Choices in Containing Covid-19
Different countries have adopted different policies in their fight against the COVID-19 outbreak. In this work we aim to model these approaches with respect to the first wave of COVID-19 (from January to October 2020) in the five Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). By means of a multivariate approach based on principal component analysis and cluster analysis, we derived three clusters. Each …

Stay at Home! Governance Quality and Effectiveness of Lockdown
In order to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the first wave of the pandemic numerous countries decided to adopt lockdown policies. It had been a considerable time since such measures were last introduced, and the first time that they were implemented on such a global scale in a contemporary, information intensive society. The effectiveness of such measures may depend on how citizens perceive the capacity of government to set up…

The Efficacy of Lockdown Against Covid-19
Willingness to pay for environmental protection and the importance of pollutant industries in the regional economy. Evidence from Italy
Are there electoral cycles of emigration? An empirical investigation based on European data
Economic literature suggests that economic factors and the availability of amenities act as determinants of migration choices together with socio‐demographic factors. Migration has also been found to be the consequence of political instability. This article argues that specific political events, i.e., democratic elections, may be linked to migration flows. By using European data over the 1999‐2012 time period, our system GMM estimations reveal th…
