Innovative Start-Ups in Italy: Their Special Features and the Effects of the 2012 Law
SSRN Electronic Journal
In 2012 the Italian Parliament introduced into Italian law a special section in the Companies Register and a large number of financial incentives to create a favorable environment for the development of 'innovative start-ups' (ISUPs). In this paper we compare ISUPs with other start-ups. In accordance with the eligibility criteria established by law, ISUPs show a striking capacity for innovation apparent in a higher incidence of intangible assets and the longer time it takes to begin selling their products. ISUPs also report higher investment rates and stronger growth in sales and assets, while their financial structures are characterized by higher capitalization and greater availability of liquid assets. Based on propensity score matching, we also highlight some direct effects of the 2012 law on their financial structures, almost exclusively on ISUPs operating in the service sectors: their external funding, either debt or equity, increases more than for other similar firms; a stronger rise in investment rates is specifically associated with a larger upsurge in their capital.
Are Italian Start-up Competitions an Instrument to Foster the Entrepreneurship Policy?
A growing body of literature recognizes increasingly the vital importance of entrepreneurial activity as driving force of the social and economic development and societal wealth. Particularly, a crucial role has been assigned to newborn firms. Among newborn firms, start-ups, in particular, are considered to be one of the most important channels for industrial changing and renewal of the economic system. Start-ups, i.e., have the potentiality to accompany and to support the transition of whole national economies toward progress and border-line knowledge, as well as the industrial transformations of the local areas toward the future directions provided by innovations and high-tech industries. Consistent with this framework, since last decade, European Union (EU) stimulates the Member States to promote entrepreneurial activities by proposing several initiatives directed to support the entrepreneurial paths among an increasing number of individuals (EC, 2003; 2006). These initiatives are mainly intended to involve individuals with an entrepreneurial attitude still latent or with higher potentiality to found a successful start-up. Within the initiatives aimed at supporting the start-ups, one which seems to have an increasingly recognition among policy makers, with an increasing audience of followers and participants, is the proposition of start-up competitions (hereinafter SUCs). Also known as business plan competitions, SUCs could be meant as a selective instrument of entrepreneurship policy aimed at encouraging the starting-up by relying on subjective aspects of self-realization and self-efficacy of the participants, rather than on financial, monetary or fiscal rewards. Furthermore, it is organized not only by public institutions, but often also by private specialized organizations. In so doing, SUCs well suited the ongoing economic requirements of many EU countries. The ideas proposed with these SUCs are more likely to be consistent with the industrial structure and development level of EU countries. Although the increasing diffusion of SUCs, there is a gap in literature about the social and economic advantages provided by these SUCs, as well as about their functioning (Schwartz et al., 2013). Nor a comprehensive and systematic overview of SUCs is currently existent. Whit this in mind, the paper aims at presenting an explorative cross-section analysis of Italian SUCs in order to provide an overview of the chief characteristics of these initiatives and their potential impact on the territorial context. Coherently, the focal goal of this paper is to provide a first evaluation of SUCs for a better understanding of their contribution as entrepreneurship policy instrument aimed at facilitating the entrepreneurial process and, in so doing, to increase both the number of nascent entrepreneurs and the probability of success of such initiatives.

Incentivi alla ricerca e sviluppo in Italia: una indagine sugli effetti della Legge 46/82
2010
The current economic crisis has put government intervention and policy evaluation at the centre of the debate on industrial development policy. Government efforts to stimulate a structural change of Italian industries are needed and in this context it becomes fundamental to engage in evaluation exercises in order to understand what policies are working. The paper offers an evaluation exercise on the major instruments used to promote R&D and innovation activities of Italian firms. We concentrate in particular on Law 46/82 and we look at the effects of the incentives it provides on firms expenditures on R&D and on new employment generation. We also consider the effects of such incentives when other similar laws are at work. Results suggest that a rethinking of the system of incentives might be needed to limit an inefficient overlapping of instruments.

UniversitàdegliStudi THEEQUITY'SRESEARCHBYTHE ITALIANMEDIUM‐SIZEDENTERPRISES: PRIVATEEQUITY, AIMITALIA‐MACORMTA? QuadernidiEconomiaAziendale
The goal of this research project is to verify which advantages and disadvantages are connected to different instruments to raise equity, through which Italian Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSEs) could face the global recession, credit crunch, possible entrepreneurial succession and the international competitive challenge. The project's focus is on the necessary change in MSEs' capital structure which should shift from a model based on the cash-flow and bank debt to a model with higher equity, which will enable them to face the credit crunch and the entrepreneurial succession as well as adequately promote innovation. It has been used an "objective and rationale" approach based on the analysis of institutional web-sites and on the information obtained during some explorative interviews with sector experts. Consequently, the research purpose is to build a theoretical framework, useful to compare three financial options (Private Equity, AIM Italia-MAC, MTA), that are still little exploited by Italian firms.

Copyright Collecting Societies in Italy
Austria, there is a legal monopoly. The basis of this monopoly has been recently discussed and the Italian legislator has liberalized neighboring rights. According to some scholars this would lead to a re-thinking of the legal system and to the liberalization of copyrights too. On the other hand, we will take into account the relations between the CISAC decision and the EU Services Directive. The re-thinking of the de facto or legal monopoly positions will be analyzed by the paper also from an economic perspective, discussing economies of scale in the peculiar perspective of the division of the relevant markets. In fact, the final view is that the overcoming the legal monopoly is likely to lead to partitioning of the markets which will have the result of, on the one hand, promoting the creation of small collecting societies, which will be dedicated to specific sectors, but, on the other hand, it should facilitate the growth of the power of collecting societies already dominant in Europe (e.g. GEMA, PRS).
