The seminar examines employer abuse of power and the contexts where it is most prevalent. It analyzes an Italian reform that introduced an online system for voluntary resignations, eliminating the illegal use of undated resignation letters. Using a causal analysis, it shows that the reform reduced forced resignations, improved workplace safety, and rebalanced power within firms.

The seminar explores Italian students' college choices, examining whether future earnings matter more than personal preferences and self-confidence in their abilities. Preliminary results show that these factors have a greater influence on decisions, suggesting that providing information about expected salaries is unlikely to significantly alter students' choices.
