Scelta tra alternative incerte con informazioni parziali sulle funzioni di utilità

In questo lavoro si considera la classe dei decisori avversi al rischio e per questa classe viene proposto un metodo per verificare la dominanza stocastica tra due possibilità in alternativa quando la funzione d'utilità sia nota soltanto in un numero finito di punti.

Towards monetary constitutionalism in Italy

Various facts which belong to the past, present, and future of Italy, which concern both politics and economics, and which are relevant within a broad discussion of monetary policy support the request for a constitutionalization of the target of monetary stability. The authors are grateful to James M. Buchanan for his encouragement in carrying out the research and to an anonymous referee of this journal for his helpful comments on an earlier version of the paper.

Macroeconomic shocks, structural change and real exchange rates: Evidence from historical data

We present empirical evidence on the forces driving real exchange rates in the long-run. Using data from the US, UK and Italy across different exchange rate regimes, we find support for the hypothesis that productivity and fiscal shocks matter. However, in some cases fiscal shocks cause depreciations, likely triggered by the monetary accommodation of fiscal shocks. We also find that the traditional Harrod–Balassa–Samuelson effect of productivity on real exchange rates is reversed in some cases, which confirms the importance of the distributive sector in driving productivity gains.
