🚨 New WP! With Paolo Buonanno and @PasGiacobbe, we study how Italian municipalities react when a femicide occurs. Using detailed budget data and modern DiD methods, we show these tragedies meaningfully reshape local fiscal and political choices. 📄 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

🚨WP Alert! Paolo Buonanno, @AndreaMoscaPhD, and I looked at how local governments react after a femicide. Result: more police spending, almost no prevention—and it depends on who the killer is. 🧵⬇️ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… #EconTwitter #GenderBasedViolence #Femicide

Increasing female representation in local govs improves budget forecast accuracy. In a new WP with De Benedetto & @PasGiacobbe, we use an IV approach to show that more women in municipal executives means fewer errors in both spending and revenues forecast papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Happy to share that our new publication, with @LucErri and @Sandrondi, is now available in the Italian Economic Journal. We analyze how environmental risks affect inequality in Italian Municipalities. search.app/yx5Juh4VNxA6x3…

This important paper by Funke, @MSchularick , and @Ch_Trebesch shows that this is a general pattern: Economies of countries with populist leaders significantly underperform in the medium/long term aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

📢 Can a referee's gender really influence decisions on the field? In our study, published at JNPE, with @LucErri, Donato Ferrari, Leo Morabito, and @Sandrondi, we explore an unexpected dynamic in women's soccer. #genderstudies #sporteconomics lnkd.in/dWpMk-er

Our ongoing research show that increasing the share of elected women is linked to higher access to anti-violence shelters. Using a Shift-Share approach, we show a causal relationship between female leadership and support for victims. @PasGiacobbe #ViolenceAgainstWomen

🚨WP alert! @PasGiacobbe, Patrizia Ordine, Giuseppe Rose and I, have found that rewarding good environmental behavior with a tax cut can significantly boost tax compliance. Comments and insights are most welcome! Full paper here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Sconfessata una delle più grandi balle raccontate sui vaccini per il Covid: meno infarti e ictus dopo la vaccinazione anti-Covid rispetto ai non vaccinati. Lo rivela un maxi-studio su quasi 50 milioni di persone, praticamente l'intera popolazione inglese, pubblicato su "Nature Communications" da scienziati delle università di Cambridge, Bristol ed Edimburgo. E ora cosa diranno i #novax? nature.com/articles/s4146…

@LucErri, @Sandrondi and I find that Albanian villages tend to experience a lower level of income concentration compared to similar Italian municipalities. This paper supports evidence on the long-term impact of immigration on income inequality. emerald.com/insight/conten…

Il Reddito di Libertà è un aiuto economico fondamentale per supportare l'#autonomia delle donne che affrontano un percorso di uscita dalla violenza. Tuttavia, a fronte di 6000 richieste pervenute in tre anni, solo 3000 donne ne hanno beneficiato.

@AndreaMoscaPhD, Ordine, Rose and I try to measure tax compliance in 🇮🇹towns. We also recover the causal effect of tax cuts✂️. A cool discussion just took place in the session on tax evasion of the @theEPCS annual meeting at @wu_vienna . Draft soon available on our sites!

@stats_feed Maybe blood tests, prevention is important!

New WP with Errico @Sandrondi and @Carmy_ci. We show that Italian municipalities facing heightened environmental risks tend to exhibit increased income inequality. However, earthquake risk appears to alleviate income inequality, particularly in the South. desf.unical.it/media/medias/2…
