Economia dei contratti di Nicita Antonio, Scoppa Vincenzo, Carocci Editore (2005).
Il volume è un'introduzione all'analisi economica dei contratti in situazioni caratterizzate da asimmetrie informative, incompletezza contrattuale, investimenti specifici e incertezza ed è finalizzato a coprire un'area molto rilevante della teoria economica e delle implicazioni di politica economica che ne derivano, in ambito microeconomico e macroeconomico. La prima parte è dedicata all'analisi delle asimmetrie informative, classificate nelle tipologie dell'azzardo morale, della selezione avversa e dei problemi di verificabilità. Nella seconda parte si affronta la teoria dei contratti incompleti e del problema di opportunismo contrattuale ("hold-up") sotto le ipotesi di investimenti specifici, incertezza e razionalità limitata.Ad oggi, il testo è stato adottato presso le seguenti Università: Univ. della Calabria, Univ. di Siena, Univ. di Bologna, Univ. di Napoli, Univ. di Bari, Univ. di Sassari, Univ. di RImini (Bologna), Univ. di Forlì (Bologna), LIUC Castellanza. E' in fase di elaborazione una pagina on-line per docenti e studenti con esercizi e approfondimenti.

The Evolution of Economic Diversity. Edited by Antonio Nicita and Ugo Pagano. Routledge (2001)
The traditional role of evolutionary theory in the social sciences has been to explain the existence of an object in terms of the survival of the fittest. In economics this approach has acted as a justification for hypotheses such as profit maximisation, or the existence of institutions in terms of their overall efficiency. This volume challenges that view and argues that one of the first tasks of economic theory should be to explain the enormous diversity of institutional arrangements that has characterised human societies.
