This paper investigates about the reasons for the adoption and eventual abandonment of SER by local government in Italy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong>Social reporting, environmental reporting, local government, adoptionand abandon of SER<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper fusion-aligncenter\"><style type=\"text\/css\" scoped=\"scoped\">.fusion-button.button-1 .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1 i {color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1 {border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1 .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1:hover .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1:hover i,.fusion-button.button-1:focus .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1:focus i,.fusion-button.button-1:active .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1:active{color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1:hover, .fusion-button.button-1:focus, .fusion-button.button-1:active{border-width:0px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-1:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-1:active .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1{width:auto;}<\/style><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-round button-large button-default button-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Read Article<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bracci Enrico, Tallaki Mouhcine\/\u00a0Financial Reporting,\u00a0Riviste\u00a0\/\u00a0Fascicolo: 2-2013 Social and environmental reporting (SER) in the public sector has been widely discussed in the last years (Gray et al., 1996; Mathews, 1997; Parker 2005; Guthrieand Abeysekera, 2006; Guarini, 2002; Hinna 2004; Marcuccio and Steccolini,2005).
