We exploit the exogenous variation created by the timing and the unequal distribution of Airbnb listings across the urban geography to identify its effects on food and beverage establishments. Using an instrumental variable strategy, we find positive local effects on both the number of restaurants and their employees: an increase in ten Airbnb rooms in a given census tract translates into one more restaurant, and the same increase in a given neighborhood generates nine new tourist-related employees. The results are robust to sample composition, spatial spillovers and alternative measures of local consumption amenities. This paper contributes to the literature on the economic impacts of the platform economy on urban areas by providing evidence of positive economic externalities from short-term rentals.Alberto Hidalgoalberto.hidalgo@imtlucca.itMassimo Riccabonimassimo.riccaboni@imtlucca.itFrancisco J.

We use a citizen-candidate framework with a population composed by three groups differing for their income level. We show that road pricing policies are never applied when there is no redistribution of the resources in favour of other modes of transport or when the congestion of these types of transport is relatively high. The results suggest that the efficiency of the redistribution of resources from road to the alternative types of transport as well as the fraction of the population that uses the road transport are key factors in explaining the adoption of road pricing schemes.Edoardo MarcucciMarco A.

A sensor fusion approach for the estimation of the robot's coordinates is adopted by designing an extended Kalman filter that combines ultrasonic and odometric dataAlberto Bemporadalberto.bemporad@imtlucca.itMauro Di MarcoAlberto Tesi2011-07-27T08:34:07Z2013-02-20T10:16:40Zhttp://eprints.imtlucca.it/id/eprint/432This item is in the repository with the URL: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/id/eprint/4322011-07-27T08:34:07ZHierarchical and hybrid model predictive control of quadcopter air vehiclesThis paper proposes a hierachical hybrid MPC approach to design feedback control functions for stabilization and autonomous navigation of unmanned air vehicles. After formulating the nonlinear dynamical equations of a "quadcopter" air vehicle, a linear MPC controller is designed to stabilize the vehicle around commanded desired set-points. These are generated at a slower sampling rate by a hybrid MPC controller at the upper control layer, based on a hybrid dynamical model of the UAV and of its surrounding environment, with the overall goal of controlling the vehicle to a target set-point while avoiding obstacles. The performance of the complete hierarchical control scheme is assessed through simulations and visualization in a virtual 3D environment, showing the ability of linear MPC to handle the strong couplings among the dynamical variables of the quadcopter under various torque and angle/position constraints, and the flexibility of hybrid MPC in planning the desired trajectory on-line.Alberto Bemporadalberto.bemporad@imtlucca.itCarlo A.

Sono inoltre richiamate le tappe principali che hanno condotto all'attuale articolazione proprietaria, sfociata nella costituzione di Telco, e le criticità dell'"incumbent" nell'affrontare le sfide di un mercato sempre più globale. Nelle sezioni successive, sono approfondite le ipotesi di separazione funzionale della rete di accesso e la questione nodale degli investimenti necessari per il potenziamento delle infrastrutture di nuova generazione - le "Next Generation Networks" -. / The article analyses recent Telecom Italia changements in both shareholders structure as well as management composition, with specific emphasis on the agreement which has led to the creation of the Telco holding. The financial and industrial strategies of Telecom Italia are also scrutinised in the even more globalized telecomunication market, pointing out the many critical aspects that the Italian incumbent has to deal with and, above all, overcome. In this respect, it is also discussed the proposal of operational separation, which has been recently submitted to a public consultation by the Italian Regulatory Authority; and the issue of the necessary investments to boost the proper and sound development of the Next Generation Networks.
