Titolo: Technology, labour regulation, and nonparametric panel data modelling Autori: Musolesi, A; Nosvelli, M Abstract: We study the relationship between technology and labour regulation using rich annual country-level large panel data. We depart from previous studies by questioning the assumptions of linearity and cross-sectional independence and exploit recent advancements in semi-nonparametric panel data econometric methods. Alternative proxies for technology as well as various measures of labour regulation are considered. This work refines previous results by showing threshold effects, nonlinearities and complex interaction effects that are obscured in parametric specifications and that have relevant implications for policy. Our findings also highlight that standard approaches that adopt parametric formulations or do not consider cross-sectional dependence are seriously biased.

Titolo: Teglio 1745: un Ligari "svelato", tra Pietro e Cesare Autori: Cairati, Carlo Abstract: The essay introduce to a Saint John of Nepomuk, preserved in Teglio and presented by Pietro Ligari to the canon Giovanni Giacomo Morelli in JUne 1745. The text provides a biographical background of the dean of Sant'Eufemia, who throughout his life kept up a special relationship with the painter, as can be attested by the small amount of previously unreleased letters, which also refer to other Valtellinese commissions. The Saint John of Nepomuk depiction also gives some insight into the Ligari workshop in the mid XVIII century, marked by the strong reciprocal relationship between Pietro and his son Cesare

Titolo: Mens sana in corpore sano: sports effects on children learning in Italy Autori: Nosvelli Mario Abstract: This study analyses the impact of sports participation on both cognitive and noncognitive skills using micro data from Italian fifth grade pupils’ test scores. The performance of students is investigated by estimating different frequencies of sports practice. Using sports facilities as an instrument for sports participation, we find that its effect on school performance is positive, but only for an intermediate level of training. Sports drills have a negative effect, especially on females, when the extremes come into play: both inactivity and full-week action. On the contrary, daily sports practice seems to be effective on non-cognitive skills, revealing positive contributions to some personality traits that represent a major component of human capital.

Titolo: INTRODUCTION Autori: Mariagrazia Fanchi; Paola Dalla Torre del Tempio di Sanguinetto; Elena Mosconi Abstract: The new historiographical paradigms (Biltereyst, Malby, Meers 2019), the relevant boost of film audience studies provided by networks such as HoMER, and the convergence of an increasing number of disciplines around cinema history: geography (Hallam, Roberts 2014; Treveri Gennari, O’Rawe, Hipkins 2019; Celata, Simone 2023), ethnography (Treveri Gennari et al, 2020; Stokes, Jones, Pett 2022; Antichi, Fedele, Garofalo 2023; Wessels et al 2022; Kuhn 2023), phenomenology (Hanich 2017), have, in recent years, produced an important growth in historical knowledge about movie theatres, the public, and, more generally, cinema experiences. Data-driven approaches and open science models (Deb Verhoeven’s work has been pivotal in this regard) have in addition contributed to deeply transforming the work of scholars, even in traditional fields, such as early cinema (Slugan, Biltereyst 2022), introducing new perspectives, encouraging to intersect many and different sources (Egan-Smith-Terrill, 2021), and developing longitudinal and comparative studies (van Oort, Whitehead, 2023). The research on movie theatres and moviegoing in Italy has certainly benefited from this conjuncture. However, some aspects and periods have been investigated less (systematically) than others. For example, the long and non-linear phase of the decline of cinemas and cinema-going in Italy, from the 1960s to the 1980s and the subsequent revival, from the second half of the 1990s have been understudied; cinema-going in rural areas and Southern regions, despite being the subject of some pioneering research (Pinna et al, 1958), still largely needs to be investigated. Likewise, the history of entrepreneurs running cinemas in Italy – predominantly family-run enterprises – is a relatively unexplored field. The history of the professions that revolve around cinema (managers, projectionists, cashiers…), in turn need to be completely reconstructed. In the same way, the experience of moviegoers, their relationship with cinema and the role that the viewing experience has taken on in their lives continue to offer many opportunities for study and investigation, strengthened by new investigation techniques and methodologies. Considering this landscape, this special issue aims to analyze how cinema and movie theatres shaped the history of territories, businesses, and people in the past and present, with a particular but non-exclusive focus on the case of Italy.
