Piergiorgio Valente - The release of the Multilateral Instrument constitutes an important step towards the most significant re-write of international tax rules in a century.

Piergiorgio Valente - EU Tax Law and Policy in the 21st Century provides a thorough description of recent and impending developments in EU direct and indirect tax legislation.

Gianluca Faella - A differenza di altre aree del diritto della concorrenza, che incorporano espressamente una teoria delle efficienze, in molti ordinamenti le norme su abuso di posizione dominante e monopolizzazione non contemplano giustificazioni o deroghe fondate sulle virtù efficientistiche delle condotte unilaterali.
Gianluca Faella - The role of efficiencies in abuse cases is far from satisfactory. The distinction between the finding of anticompetitive foreclosure and the subsequent assessment of possible efficiencies is in many cases artificial. Furthermore, the strict conditions identified by the Commission and EU Courts do not leave much scope for efficiency arguments in abuse cases.
Gianluca Faella, Marco D'Ostuni, Manuela Becchimanzi - The paper provides an extensive analysis of the main developments in (i) the regulatory framework and (ii) competition law enforcement, in the technology, media and telecommunications sectors.

Veronica Scuotto, Manlio Del Giudice, Elias G. Carayannis - The combination of knowledge and innovation has become a cornerstone among knowledge and labour intensive enterprises. A growing number of enterprises are defined as knowledge intensive entrepreneurship ventures that have been widely studied in relation to their eco-system.
Melita Nicotra, Marco Romano, Manlio Del Giudice & Carmela Elita Schillaci - The paper proposes a framework for measuring and testing the causal effects of a set of entrepreneurial ecosystems factors (eco-factors) on productive entrepreneurship (eco-output). Existing research studies provide long lists of relevant eco-factors; however, the causal relations of eco-factors with productive entrepreneurship has not been sufficiently and holistically studied.
