2014, November 24th to 25th International Seminar Innovation, Globalisation and Firm Dynamics Organizing Board Adalgiso AMENDOLA, Sergio Pietro DESTEFANIS, Marcello D'AMATO, Anna Maria FERRAGINA, Erol TAYMAZ, Marco VIVARELLI, Kamil YILMAZ
This book is about the relationship between firm dynamics, innovation and globalization, the processes that are essential for long term economic growth and welfare creation. The volume deals with these three issues in three sections titled respectively: entrepreneurship, new firm formation and growth; productivity-innovation-growth nexus; globalization, multinational firms and producers' dynamics. The use of micro-data and the treatment of new econometric methods are cutting edges of the book. The approach adopted is both theoretical and empirical with consideration of paradigmatic case studies in Europe, Africa and Asia, providing new evidence on developed, developing and transition economies in a comparative perspective. The text responds to a growing concern among scholars, professionals, and policy makers over the recent decades about firm ability to survive and compete in a context of increasing competition. The book is a useful reading for scholars and students concerned with industry development, public policy and globalization, as well as to all those involved professionally in such issues.

2013, October 17th - 18th YOUtH Workshop"Youth and their future: Work, Education and Health" |
|
| The research group "Youth at Work" is organizing its Fifth Workshop on the topic: "Youth and their future": Work, Education and Health". The high unemployment rate of young people is one of, if not the, most serious social problems in Europe as well as in Italy. In the OECD, 26 million young people aged 15-24 years are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) and the ILO estimates that youth unemployment has increased by 30% since 2007. In response, above-all to the increases in long-term unemployment amongst young people and the dangers of a lost generation, in February 2013 the European Council began promoting the introduction of "Youth Guarantee" programmes in the EU focused on Active Labour Policy Market (ALPM) and more generally on links between education and labour market. The experiences of young people in the labour market as well as other choices made relatively early on in life - for example regarding lifestyle (dietary habits, drugs, alcohol) - are likely to have important long-term consequences. We encourage you to submit a paper within the general theme of the determinants and/or consequences of Young people's choices in the context of an uncertain future: for example, covering areas such as, patterns of labour market entry, the effects of ALMP's, educational choices, lifestyle choices and risky behaviours. | |
