Questo studio prende l'avvio da un'iniziativa di ricerca il cui obiettivo consisteva nella costruzione di un indice sintetico di dipendenza dell'anziano dalla struttura in cui è ospitato, veloce da calcolare e a basso costo. La variabile fondamentale usata nell'analisi è la quantità di tempo...

On the use of theoretical developments in agency economics for the practical design of incentive- and performance-based compensation systems.

Organizational and managerial theories of modularity applied to the design and production of complex artifacts are used to interpret the rise and success of Free/Open Source Software methodologies and practices in software engineering

A laboratory investigation of a simple agency model that allow to study how the principal's fairness affects the attitude towards cooperation between two interdependent agents performing a simple production task.

In this paper we make use of a particular technique of data analysis to empirically study the effect of joint attributes presentation in a multi-step process of choice, in which consumers first use a simple method for shortlisting, then proceed with a closer inspection of a restrict number of...

Organizational and managerial theories of modularity applied to the design and production of complex artifacts are used to interpret the rise and success of Free/Open Source Software methodologies and practices in software engineering

We provide a simulation procedure for obtaining discretely observed values of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with given (self-decomposable) marginal distribution. The method proposed, based on inversion of the characteristic function, completely circumvent problems encountered when trying to...
