This paper analyses the general equilibrium implications of reforming pay-as-you-go pension systems in an economy with heterogeneous agents, human capital investment and capital-skill complementarity. It shows that increasing funding delivers in the long run higher physical and human capital and...

This paper studies the relationship between internal mobility and overeducation. Using a large survey on the Italian labour market, it estimates the effect of workers’ spatial flexibility (precise information on commuting and migration) on their probability of being overeducated. The analysis...

This paper uses a novel dataset and research design to examine the effects of information networks on immigrants' access to health care. The dataset consists of an unusually large sample of undocumented immigrants and contains a direct indicator of information networks - whether an immigrant...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically assess whether immigrants suffer from unequal access to health care services, that add to prevailing socioeconomic barriers to care. Design/methodology/approach Using a uniquely rich Italian health survey, the authors estimate the correlation...
