Nuovi metodi per determinare la soglia di povert\ue0
An extension of the work in D’Ambrosio, Muliere and Secchi (2003) is proposed, for determining the poverty line as a change point in income distribution through a nonparametric approach

Effetti distributivi degli affitti figurativi in Italia: un'analisi territoriale e per sottogruppi
Aim of this paper is to analyze the incidence and the relevance of imputed rent on the Italian population and its effect on income distribution, in particular on inequality and
poverty, both for the overall population and for specific subgroups. The empirical analysis
is based on the EU-SILC dataset for the year 2004, which collects information on Italian households' income and living conditions. The empirical results show that adding imputed rent to the definition of income brings to a reduction in inequality and poverty. The main
beneficiaries from the imputed rent are outright owners, rent-free tenants, families with older or unemployed head, mono-parental households and families living in the North-Center
of Italy

Region of Residence and Equality of Opportunity in Health: a note on the Italian Case
The Italian health care system is managed mainly at the regional level. For this
reason health care may dier depending on region of residence. The aim of this note
is to take a rigorous ex-ante approach and test for equality of health opportunities as
opposed to health outcomes, which are the ex-post results. We perform non-parametric
tests to evaluate if the probability of reaching the same health status diers by region
of residence, after controlling for other in
uential factors such as age, gender and
income. The results underline that the geographical distribution of opportunities in
health is unequal, and therefore, that regional dierences in outcomes are more likely
to be expected

An inter-temporal relative deprivation index
The paper provides the axiomatic characterization of a new relative deprivation index. The
concept of relative deprivation is here extended towards the inter-temporal framework. In
fact, if we agree that deprivation is a relative concept, we should also believe that
individuals not only take care of their relative position with respect to others, but also of
their relative position with respect to their own past. While in the traditional relative
deprivation framework the reference group is only other-regarding, in our work we stretch
this idea and we also introduce a history-regarding reference group. The new index is
illustrated with an application to EU countries
An Analysis of the Italian Labour Market based on the Compulsory Communications Data
The Compulsory Communications system data contain important and so far under-investigated information on employment dynamics in Italy. They record all the activations, transformations, fixed-term extensions and anticipated terminations of employment relationships between any worker and firm since the beginning of 2008. Aim of this note is to exploit this recent database and provide useful up-to-date measures of the job dynamics in the Italian labour market. In particular, we estimate transition probabilities among different types of contracts and detect the main determinants of the probability of job activation and job anticipated termination
