This paper tests the relationship between military expenditure and economic growth by including impact of share civilian components government in an model with endogenous technology. In this framework, we empirically consider hypothesis a non‐linear effect on growth. Differences costs benefits defence sector has traditionally explained suggesting that shocks to insecurity may also be source non‐linearity as they determine re‐allocative within expenditure. While parametric partial...
The effects of military spending has on the economy continues to be a subject considerable debate, with lack consensus in literature. This paper takes advantage Stockholm International Peace Research Institute extended data-set contribute debate using empirical methods made available, or more applicable, by extra observations. It constructs large panel countries for period 1970–2014 explore long-run equilibrium relationship between and economic growth, applies flexible pooled mean group...
This article analyzes the determinants of tobacco expenditures for a sample Italian households. A Box–Cox double-hurdle model adjusted heteroscedasticity is estimated to account separate individual decisions concerning smoking participation and consumption correct nonnormality in bivariate distribution error terms. Nested univariate models are found be excessively restrictive, supporting adequacy generalized specification. Estimation results show that significantly affected by income...
Abstract This paper considers the effect of corruption and military spending on economic growth, analysing both direct impact public allocating resources between categories within framework an endogenous growth model. The model exhibits non-linearities as a result links components spending, growth. main findings empirical analysis confirm expectation that burden lower rate gross domestic product per capita. They also suggest when complementarity is omitted, in most studies, performance...
While not always a concern for the general economic growth literature, debate over effects of military spending on continues to develop, with no consensus, but deepening understanding limitations previous work. One important issue that has been adequately dealt is endogeneity in equation, mainly because difficulty finding any variables would make adequate instruments. This paper considers this issue, using an endogenous model estimated large sample 109 non-high-income countries period...
The lockdown declared during the Spring 2020 because of COVID-19 outbreak caused a reallocation market and household work. A same time school closures in many countries impacted on children's lives their learning process. In Italy, schools nurseries have been closed three months incidence quality distant activities has hetero-geneous over education levels among schools. Using real survey data collected April wellbeing, parents' work, we estimate how intra-household responsibilities lock-down...
This paper examines internal migrant selection in Italy using individual height data from the 1951 and 1980 birth cohorts of military conscripts. Information on both place residence conscripts allows us to compare migrants' heights distributions their non-migrant peers at national level populations origin. Results suggest that migrants southern were negatively selected level, while a positive emerged if compared who remained macro-area Additionally, we found shorter economically...
Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable diseases and death for all individuals, even more so people living with HIV (PLWH), due to their status chronic inflammation. To date, in Italy no study was performed compare smoking habits PLWH the general population. We aimed investigate PLWH, as compared population.Multi-center cross-sectional study. Smoking were between enrolled STOPSHIV Study. The comparison group from population derived survey by National Statistics Institute (ISTAT),...
The relationship between the timing of olive pollination and some parameters which can influence this phenomenon was investigated. A model is presented shows a strong pollination, selected meteorological variables (temperature precipitation) annual pollen quantity. most important correlations are with mean temperature in February, precipitation May. positive correlation quantity confirms variable to time pollination.

This paper contributes to the analysis of impact military spending and corruption on economic growth, by considering not only political dimension corruption, distorting allocation resources sectors, but also efficiency bureaucratic environment. It does this developing model Mauro (2004) in context an endogenous growth deal with defence sector. then uses data from International Country Risk Guide produce a novel measure that combines within system, institutional strength, quality bureaucracy...
