Farewell to Pino

With dismay and sadness we announce that Giuseppe Ponzini, first IRPPS researcher, passed away, for the Fisciano site a point of reference, having been among the first to settle in the original Penta site, appreciated for its scientific value and human from the whole Institute.

Pino carried out his research activity and lived for a long time in Fisciano, making a fundamental contribution to the studies on welfare which merged into the Annual report on the welfare state in Italy, until its transfer to the branch office in Brindisi.

He was a brilliant and multifaceted researcher. Curious and intuitive, he launched himself on new topics and put his extensive erudition to good use.

He was a kind and generous person towards his co-workers and friends.

He was an excellent teacher that many have had the opportunity to appreciate, at the university and in various training courses.

Therefore, it leaves a void and a great regret. A thought for the family.

One last hug from all of us

Landownership concentration and human capital accumulation in post-unification Italy

It is the title of the article published by Vitantonio Mariella in the June 2022 issue of the magazine Journal of Population Economics published by Springer

"This paper contributes to the debate on institutions and economic development by assessing the relationship between landownership concentration and education. Using historical data at both the district and province levels in post-unification Italy from 1871 to 1921, I find evidence of an adverse effect of land inequality on literacy rates. Instrumental variable estimates using malaria pervasiveness as a source of exogenous variation rule out concerns regarding potential endogeneity. Exploration of the panel dimension of the data reveals that several shocks during this period affected the relationship between land inequality and literacy rates. In addition, this paper provides insights into the mechanism behind this relationship by analyzing the impact on intermediate outputs, such as enrollment rates in primary school, child-teacher ratio, school density, child labor, and municipality expenditures. Land inequality may have adversely affected literacy rates not only by influencing schooling supply through the political process but also through the private demand for education. "

Statistics at the CNR at the service of the country

The Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies of the National Research Council (CNR IMATI), in collaboration with the Italian Statistical Society, as part of the initiatives preceding the 2022 Statistics Festival, on 5 July 2022, organizes the event entitled:

The event basically has two objectives:

  • on the one hand we want to show, especially to the national statistical community, how much the CNR develops and applies statistical methodologies that contribute not only to an advancement of knowledge but also, and perhaps above all, to face and solve problems and challenges of our country;
  • on the other hand, the event aims to make known to the scientific community of the CNR what its colleagues do in the field of statistics, also trying to encourage collaboration and exchange of knowledge.

The twelve researchers, at different career levels, have different scientific backgrounds and work in different institutes but have in common the use and / or development of statistical methodologies in their research.

The event aims to highlight this commonality of interests despite the presence of diversity and, hopefully, to foster future collaborations as well as greater knowledge of the activities carried out by CNR researchers (with the collaboration of all staff) at the service of the country.
