The consumption of timber represents a significant impact on the withdrawal of biomass and, more generally, raw materials in Italian regions. Timber is the essential raw material for the production of wood products, paper, and cardboard, as well as being a renewable fuel used in all Italian regions. This study reconstructs the timber supply chain u...

The article analyzes the Program known as Industry 4.0, three years after its entry into force. Many shadows and few lights, which in the intentions of the Government that has launched this plan should positively revolutionize the Italian business and corporate tructure, to produce a new “economic miracle”. The program suffers from an excess of ru...

The WHO declaration of a world pandemic defined SARS-COV-2 in February 2020 opened on the one hand one of the saddest pages of human affairs, on the other hand it defined a new world economic crisis. In fact, following the measures adopted by almost all the countries of the globe to fight the pandemic, most of the activities have been slowed down,...

A short and compelling article on the "statistics crisis"

The theory of human capital has its roots in the distant past of economic theory. From William Petty to William Farr, rising to Ernest Engel and Giorgio Mortara, until the "Chicago School", in the middle of the last century. Before the development made by the Chicago School the majority of economists has never accepted, in principle, the fact that...

The present research starts by a series of experiences gained by the author on the theme of attractiveness/accessibility of territories, in light of the most recent dynamics for the analysis. Th e equation model used is of gravitational type. Specifically, the impedance function is used in the form of logistics, which has so far provided the best r...

This research fits into the genre of spatial analysis, aimed at better understanding of population dynamics in relation to the presence and distribution of infrastructure and related services. Specifically, the analysis uses a model of the gravitational type, based on the assumption of the impedance (attractiveness) territorial, based on a curve of...

The article starts from a previous experience of the author in the analysis of the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the Italian population, based on some surveys conducted by ISTAT (National Institute of Statistics) between 1994 and 2005. The purpose is to update the information related to the dynamics of the BMI of the Italian population and to envisage f...

Objective: Tobacco smoke is a cause and contributory cause of many diseases that affect the respiratory and circulatory systems, according to numerous studies and research in this field. The purpose of this report is to carry out an analysis of the relationship stubborn on the health of smokers, non-smokers and former smokers, in a representative s...

Objective: Tobacco smoke, as numerous studies have established, is due to some diseases related to the respiratory, cardio-circulatory and gastrointestinal systems. In addition, tobacco consumption is often associated with a decrease in weight, while former smokers often experience an increase in BMI. The purpose of this research is to test the beh...

OBIETTIVO: Secondo numerosi Studi e Ricerche, il fumo di sigaretta rappresenta la più rilevante causa di mortalità evitabile in numerose realtà ad economia avanzata. I principali dati relativi al costo degli effetti del tabagismo sono presentati dall’Organizzazione Mondiale Sanitaria a livello mondiale, e dall’ISS a livello nazionale. Questi dati v...

Aim: According to numerous studies, cigarette smoking is the most important cause of preventabledeath in many advanced economies. The main data on the cost of the health effects of smoking arepresented by the World Health Organization in the world, and from the Institute of Health (ISS) in Italy. These data are presented in a largely aggregated way...

Impedance is, in territorial statistics, the greater or lesser difficulty of a territory to be served/provided with adequate infrastructure and related services, useful for the improvement of the resident’s quality of life. In the opposite, a greater impedance implies a low attractiveness of the territory for the establishment of new productive act...

The impedance is in the field of statistics – territorial, the greater or lesser difficulty of an area to be served/provided adequate infrastructure and related services, which are useful to improve the quality of residents. In the opposite direction, to a greater impedance is low attractiveness of the region to the establishment of new productive...

The body mass index (BMI) is from about two centuries one of the main indicators of human health and is used in this sense in almost every country in the world. The purpose of this research is to analyze this indicator, based on the Gaussian distribution (or normal curve) in the time period 1994-2005, in order to provide a point estimate of the...

L’articolo presenta un’analisi sulle motivazioni del ricorso al lavoro irregolare nei vari comparti produttivi, nei quali è stata suddivisa l’economia del sistema Italia dal 1981 al 2004. Dopo una rapida rassegna delle principali teorie esplicative del fenomeno del sommerso, la prima parte illustra i risultati della stima di un modello econometrico...
