The Sharing economy: the problem of a shared definition

The sharing economy is founded on pooling and exchanging services, goods, resources, time, skills, and knowledge in order to reduce the costs and, at the same time, to reduce or eliminate the intermediaries. This phenomenon has increased in importance in recent years but there is no single definition in the literature, rather there are different terms to define the general concept. The aim of the paper is therefore to identify the different definitions developed in doctrine in order to finally understand the causes that led to the crisis of the linear economy in favour of the circular economy

NPO Funding in Italy: The Role and the Contribution of Corporate Governance

By adopting mainly the “principal-agent theory”, the study analyses how non-profit organizations (NPOs) corporate governance structure could increase the trust of the donors and therefore affect their ability to receive donations from taxpayers. Starting from a literature review we concentrated our attention on the non-profit sector where NGOs represent the largest category. In Italy, starting from 2006, all NPOs could receive funding deriving from taxes paid by citizens when making tax returns with the so called ‘5 per thousand’ of the personal income tax. We analyzed the corporate governance disclosure practices of the first Italian 100 NPOs that received the highest donations from 5 per thousand. In particular, we elaborated a CGI index that includes governance and informativeness. This paper shows how an efficient and transparent corporate governance structure motivates the donors to donate 5 per thousand to NPOs that demonstrate good corporate governance. The findings suggest that taxpayers are inclined to allocate 5 per thousand to organizations where the information level, from a governance point of view, is high, easily available and clear about the purpose in the specified field of research
