La Dolce Vita: Hedonic Estimates of Quality of Life in Italian Cities

This paper provides an assessment of quality of life in Italian cities using the hedonic approach. We analyze micro-level data for housing and labor markets to estimate compensating differentials for local amenities within five domains: climate, environment, services, society and economy. The estimated implicit prices are used to construct overall and domain-specific quality of life indices. We find that differences in amenities are reflected in substantial compensating differentials in housing prices, whereas the effects on wages are relatively small. Quality of life varies substantially across space and is strongly related to differences in public services and economic conditions. Overall, quality of life is highest in medium-sized cities of the Center-North, displaying relatively high scores in all the domains considered. Northern cities fare better with respect to services, social and economic conditions, while relatively worse for climate and environmental conditions.quality of life, hedonic prices, housing markets

Matrimonio, familia y unitarismo

The article explores the tensions between the unitary perspective of family and traditional marriage in Colombia, and legal trends that are diversifying this version, to the point of establishing a conceptual stage of social, cultural and legal crisis related to the very family paradigm. It develops this way: i) Description of catholic doctrinal concept of family; ii) influence of the catholic doctrine in the unitarian effort; iii) regeneration; iv) socio-legal hegemony of the paradigm of catholic religion as a hegemonic socio-legal characteristic; v) the relationship between Catholic doctrine and what is expressed by the Colombian legal system regarding the family; vi) the legal and jurisprudential debate that has been generated regarding the unitary paradigm of the family, and finally; vii) the familiar paradigm change in the legal context.El artículo explora las tensiones presentes entre la perspectiva unitaria de familia y matrimonio tradicional en Colombia, y las tendencias jurídicas que están diversificando esta versión, hasta el punto de establecer un escenario de crisis conceptual social, cultural y jurídico respecto al paradigma mismo de familia. Se desarrolla: i) descripción del concepto doctrinal católico de familia; ii) influencia de la doctrina católica en el esfuerzo unitarista; iii) regeneración; iv) hegemonía sociojurídica del paradigma de la religión católica como característica sociojurídica hegemónica; v) relación entre la doctrina católica y lo que expresa el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano en cuanto a la familia; vi) el debate jurídico y jurisprudencial que se ha generado en cuanto al paradigma unitarista de la familia; y por último vii) modificación del paradigma familiar en el contexto jurídico.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22518/16578953.47

Il Regio Esercito fra fascismo e Guerra di Liberazione, 1922-1945

Obiettivo di questo studio \ue8 analizzare l'istituzione militare italiana, tanto nel tempo di pace come nel tempo di guerra, nel tentativo di superare la dicotomia che finora ha separato questi due momenti che ne caratterizzarono l'esistenza. Lo scopo non \ue8 quindi solo quello di studiare l'\ue9lite militare, il ruolo dell'esercito nella cementazione dell'identit\ue0 nazionale attraverso una socializzazione rivolta idealmente all'intera popolazione maschile, o l'influenza reciproca tra armi e politica; n\ue9, d'altro canto, ci si vuole limitare allo studio delle battaglie, dei combattenti o degli uomini in guerra. Unendo questi momenti, rimasti fin'ora isolati come diversi oggetti d'indagine, la speranza \ue8 quella di poter riportare alla luce le trame che li legano gli uni agli altri, individuandone le continuit\ue0 e discontinuit\ue0 in un ampio spettro diacronico
