T. Dr. Giorgio Tagliacozzo ADVANCED WORK AND RESEARCH I) - 1929 - GRADUATE SCHOOL OF COOPERATION AND SOCIAL LEGISLATION, ROME. One year's Graduate Studies on the Cooperative Movement and Social Legislation. Thesis: INTORNO AI PRINCIPI TEORICI DELLA COOPERAZIONE (An Essay on the Theoretical Principles of Cooperation), pp. 25. Taking as a point of departure M. Pantaleoni's famous article on Cooperation, I attempted to check pantaleoni s theories with the aid of existing literature on the subject (Mazzini, Luzzatto, Wollemborg, Gide, Marshall, Pigou, etc.). In conclusion, I advocated and further elucidated Pigou's approach, based on the gen- eral principles expressed in his "Economics of Welfare". II) - 1930 - DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ROME Teachers: Prof. Riccardo Bachi (Economic Theory); Prof. Alfredo Niceforo (Statistical Methodology) Prof. Gennaro Mondaini (Economic History). Doctor's Thesis: "ECONOMIA E MASSIMO EDONISTICO COLLETTIVO- Saggio sul problema della massima soddisfazione nella scienza economica" (Economics and the Collective Hed- onistic Maximum, An Essay on the Problem of Maximum Satisfaction in Economic Science), pp. 150. This is a study of the relationship between economic science and the problem of the "Collective Hedonistic Maximum" throughout the various stages of economic thought. The paramount importance of this problem -which is implicity or explicity posed in all of the various systems-- is demonstrated, and the solution contained in what I call the "Marshall-Pigou System" is accepted and emphasized. Grade: This thesis was accepted "cum summa laude". III) - 1931 - DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ROME, INSTITUTE OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL POLICY. Teacher: Prof. Rodolfo Benini (General Theory of Economics). Thesis: SCHEMI TEORICI DI ECONOMIA CORPORATIVA E LORO CRITICA (A Critical View of Some Schemes of Corporative Economy)pp.71 The theoretical views of several authors concerning a possible interpretation of "Corporative Economy" were rejected on the basis of their inadequacy as compared to the theory of state intervention in economic matters contained in the "Marshall- Pigou System".
