"In just a few short months, the new government administration in the United States has thrown the world order into disarray. A potential global trade war, new global value chain configurations and shifting security alliances are reshaping geopolitics. Given the current uncertainty, access to developing technologies will be decisive, and technological sovereignty is more important for the European Union than ever before. How can the EU get up-to-speed? What steps can Europe take to ensure its technological sovereignty? How should it go about relations with China and the new Trump Administration with regards to its tech policy? What role does Big Tech play in European security?"

"This paper investigates the impact of climate change on within-country income inequality with reference to over 150 nations in 2003-2017. Specifically, we control for a large number of determinants of income disparities detected by extant literature, and focus on agriculture as one of the most crucial channels in the climate change-inequality nexus. We find that temperature increases and precipitation anomalies have significant adverse effects on within-country inequality, especially in the presence of larger shares of population in rural areas and of workers in agriculture. Furthermore, our results show that the diversification of inward FDIs across value chain activities constitutes a resilience-enhancing factor which allows to alleviate the adverse consequences of climate change on income distribution."

"Questo contributo adatta l'approccio teorico del capitale monopolistico al caso delle grandi piattaforme digitali. Vengono identificate le fondamenta del potere economico di cui godono le piattaforme contemporanee – controllo dei dati, della tecnologia, del lavoro e delle catene del valore, e condizionamento dell'attività dei Governi – e illustrati gli elementi di continuità e discontinuità rispetto alle imprese transnazionali del XX secolo. Infine, vengono discusse le implicazioni di politica economica giustapponendo le normative antitrust e le ipotesi di socializzazione dei dati e delle infrastrutture digitali necessarie al loro utilizzo"
