Aree di ricerca Call for projects8 projects financed by the First call for projects
Collegio Carlo Alberto funds research projects - both theoretical and empirical - in economics and other social sciences to foster high-quality and policy-relevant research in Italy. The first call for projects was launched in the spring 2010 and 16 projects were submitted.
All submitted projects have been evaluated by a Selection Committee nominated by the Board of Directors which assessed the project innovativeness, the likelihood to generate interesting and useful insights, the potential to give rise to top-quality publications, the degree of proposed interdisciplinary research, the curricula of the researchers involved and the appropriateness of the financial plan accompanying the research proposal. The Selection Committee requested expert opinions on projects.
The following 8 projects were recommended for funding:
| Project title | Primary Investigator |
| Parental and Public Investments and Child Outcomes | Daniela Del Boca |
| Incentives Policies for European Research | Cristiano Antonelli |
| Causes, Processes and Consequences of Flexsecurity Reform in the EU: Lesson from Bismarkian Countries | Stefano Sacchi |
| Commitment in Bilateral Trade and Bargaining | Dino Gerardi |
| Economic Consequences of Financial (il)Literacy | Elsa Fornero |
| Green Economy Scenarios in the Mediterranean Region | Bruno Contini |
| New Approaches to Stochastic Modeling in Economics via Bayesian Nonparametrics | Igor Pruenster |
| Unexplored Determinants and Consequences of Legal, Illegal and Criminal Migration | Giovanni Mastrobuoni |
In future calls the Selection Committee has committed itself to the same excellence criteria, that is the 80/100 threshold, adopted in this first call.
