Inequity aversion in subjective evaluations
Online teaching, procrastination and student achievement
Despite growing consensus in the public debate that self-discipline is key to succeeding in an online learning environment, the evidence available is very limited. We investigate the role of procrastination as a moderator of the impact of online teaching on student performance. We take advantage of the forced transition from traditional class-based to online teaching induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and adopt a difference-in-differences strategy …
Civicness Drain
Migration may cause, not only a brain drain, but also a ‘civicness’ drain, leading to a poverty trap. Using migration choices of southern Italian high-school students classified as civic if not cheating in a modified die-roll experiment, we uncover a key role of local civicness (average civicness in the class): a civicness drain is observed only at high and low local civicness. We rationalise this pattern with a model in which civic and uncivic t…
Massive earthquakes, risk aversion, and entrepreneurship
Social pressure in the stadiums
Trading height for education in the marriage market
OBJECTIVES: Several empirical studies point out the relevance of individuals' physical attributes-such as height, weight, beauty-in the labor market. In the same way, physical characteristics may affect lifetime prospects through their impact on the selection of a partner in the marriage market. We analyzed to what extent an individual's height and weight (arguably affecting physical attractiveness, as documented in many studies) are related to l…
Gender Discrimination and Evaluators’ Gender
Relying on a natural experiment consisting in 130 competitions for promotion to associate and full professor in Italian universities, we analyse whether gender discrimination is affected by the gender of evaluators. We examine the probability of success of each candidate in relation to the committee gender composition, exploiting the random assignment of evaluators and controlling for candidates’ scientific productivity and a number of individual…
Overconfidence, omens and gender heterogeneity
The effectiveness of remedial courses in Italy
The impact of closeness on electoral participation exploiting the Italian double ballot system
Political competition and politician quality
Can gender quotas break down negative stereotypes? Evidence from changes in electoral rules
Intergenerational transfers of public sector jobs
Quality of Human and Physical Capital and Technological Gaps across Italian Regions
Scoppa V. (2007) Quality of human and physical capital and technological gaps across Italian regions, Regional Studies 41, 585–599. This paper evaluates the relative contribution of factor accumulation and technology in explaining output per worker differences across Italian regions. The contributions of physical and human capital are separately estimated through the variance decomposition of output per worker. Whereas from a basic analysis of de…
Organizational Design, Project Selection, and Incentives
This paper compares benefits and costs related to hierarchical and decentralized organizations in an agency framework. We show that the relative efficiency of hierarchy diminishes in contexts with asymmetric information. When effort is not observable, performance-related pay is required in order to encourage the agent to work hard. With risk-averse agents the use of this incentive system is more costly under hierarchy rather than under decentrali…
