F. Abstract: This study examines the socio-spatial dynamics of rural overtourism and landscape commodification in a peripheral municipality in Northwestern Italy. Employing a qualitative, longitudinal ethnographic design, data were collected between May 2020 and October 2021 in San Giovanni (Piedmont). The methodology combined extensive participant observation in public, commercial, and agricultural spaces with ethnographic interviews with six stakeholder groups: local promoters, municipal administrators, professional farmers, long-term residents, shopkeepers, and visiting tourists. Qualitative data were processed using inductive thematic analysis. The results indicate that visitor surges were initiated endogenously by local promoters through the installation of an open-access, gamified “Big Bench” attraction designed to counter long-term demographic and economic contraction. The influx of day-trippers generated localized spatial intrusion, traffic congestion, and physical disruptions to agricultural operations during peak harvest periods, as well as to residents’ daily activities. Rather than driving generalized economic revitalization, the intervention produced host–visitor friction and intra-community polarization between local promoters seeking external visibility and residents experiencing spatial disruptions and loss of privacy. The study demonstrates that overtourism can develop endogenously through promoter-led self-commodification and provides a three-tiered governance framework encompassing policy, destination management, and community-level strategies for fragile rural territories 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10807/345016 Titolo: Public debt shocks and the interest-growth differential: a two-step CCE procedure with Monte Carlo evidence Autori: Carvelli, Gianni Abstract: This study proposes a two-step heterogeneous CCE procedure to estimate non-systematic variation in public debt and its effects on the interest-growth differential. We consider two dynamic DGPs that satisfy the rank condition and assume that the set of unobserved common factors is characterized by mixed orders of integration. The empirical results indicate that unanticipated variations in public debt exert positive average effects on the interest-growth differential. However, the distribution of the unit-specific estimated coefficients suggests that the effects are markedly heterogeneous across countries. The Monte Carlo experiments suggest that the CCE estimators employed in this paper exhibit good finite-sample properties in the proposed dynamic heterogeneous framework, even under unusual and complex time-series properties of the latent stochastic factors. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
