Let's roll back! The challenging task of regulating temporary contracts
In this paper, we evaluate the impact of a reform introduced in Italy in 2018 (Decreto Dignit\`a), which increased the rigidity of employment protection legislation (EPL) of temporary contracts, rolling back previous policies, to reduce job instability. We use longitudinal labour force data from 2016 to 2019 and adopt a time-series technique within a Rubin Casual Model (RCM) framework to estimate the causal effect of the reform. We find that the reform was successful in reducing persistence into temporary employment and increasing the flow from temporary to permanent employment, in particular among women and young workers in the North of Italy, with significant effects on the stocks of permanent employment (+), temporary employment (-) and unemployment (-). However, this positive outcome came at the cost of higher persistence into inactivity, lower outflows from unemployment to temporary employment and higher outflows from unemployment to inactivity among males and low-educated workers.

Online Regulation of Dynamical Systems to Solutions of Constrained Optimization Problems
This paper considers the problem of regulating a dynamical system to equilibria that are defined as solutions of an input- and state-constrained optimization problem. To solve this regulation task, we design a state feed…
On-Policy Robust Adaptive Discrete-Time Regulator for Passive Unidirectional System using Stochastic Hill-climbing Algorithm and Associated Search Element
Non-linear discrete-time state-feedback regulators are widely used in passive unidirectional systems. Offline system identification is required for tuning parameters of these regulators. However, offline system identific…
Data-Driven Existence and Design of Target Output Controllers
Target output controllers aim at regulating a system's target outputs by placing poles of a suitable subsystem using partial state feedback, where full state controllability is not required. This paper establishes existe…
Self-regulating Prompts: Foundational Model Adaptation without Forgetting
Prompt learning has emerged as an efficient alternative for fine-tuning foundational models, such as CLIP, for various downstream tasks. Conventionally trained using the task-specific objective, i.e., cross-entropy loss,…
