Benefit analysis. Assessing the cost of blackouts in case of attack. Evaluation based on Italian and Polish case studies
RT 52; This report provides an economic quantification of the benefits of implementing security standards, expressed in terms of avoided costs of blackouts. The evaluation considers specifically the blackouts described in the Italian and Polish trials, employing a mixed methodology relying on the “production function” approach for the non-household sector, while an econometric method based on survey data (stated preferences) is used for household consumers. With reference to non-households, a separate evaluation is carried on for the electricity industry. The results show that the costs of blackout are substantial, either for household and non-household consumers, and largely exceed the damage suffered by the utilities ue to lost sales. Finally, since for non-households only losses in production are considered, we provide, in a separate section, three case studies demonstrating that some industries can suffer relevant additional blackout costs
Cost analysis of standard implementation in the SCADA Systems of electric critical infrastructures
RT 53; This study presents an analysis of costs deriving from the implementation of security standards for SCADA systems of electric critical infrastructures. It is produced concluding the path of ESSENCE project and it starts from the experience of the two case studies performed in its context. It aims at obtaining a reasoned measure of the costs needed to implement the standards. The first section contains an introduction describing the main hurdles and sets of problems encountered in the implementation of cost analysis. Then the generalities of the two case studies are introduced, followed by the detailed evidence outlined from both. At the end of the study useful suggestions for Transmission System Operators and Generation Operators are offered, besides a reasoned set of figures assessing the costs on the implementation of security systems
Italian Case Study: socio-economic impact analysis of a cyber attack to a power plant in an Italian scenario. Cost and benefit estimation of CIPS standard adoptions. A reduced version
RT 55; The Italian Case study is a comprehensive report in which a possible attack scenario to a thermoelectric power plant is described in the Italian electric grid context and an assessment of social-economic impact is evaluated. A cost-benefit analysis of the adoption of comprehensive CIP standards is estimated. This is a reduced version of a full report in order to have a public deliverable purged from sensitive and confidential information
Polish case study. Scenario based assessment of costs and benefits of adoption of comprehensive CIP standards
RT 56; The Polish case study describes results of simulations of cyber-attacks on the Polish transmission system of electricity and compares the economic and social impact of these attacks, assumed to occur in situations where the system is working in normal operation, versus situations where standards are implemented as additional security countermeasures and the same incident arises. This work analyses security measures defined in selected documents, tandardization, evaluates their effectiveness relative to attack scenarios, as well as implementation costs in comparison to weight of potential losses resulting from non-implementation. On this basis, a list of recommended safety measures, which guarantee high level of security and the highest level of return, has been prepared
Progetto second chance school. Una proposta di innovazione nei tirocini per la scuola superiore
RT 54; This technical report describes a project to innovate apprenticeship in secondary school. Such project is characterized by the combination of an innovative approach to organizational development and an nnovation in learning, which stimulate the generation of some of the key competences, required by European Union. This will be realized by proposing a new type of connection between school and external organizations which brings added value to both and stimulate motivation of young people to learn by experience
RT 51; The aim of the report “Terms of Reference for the trials” is to carefully present the impact of malicious incidents, or natural ones, on the main layers of an electric system. The single components of the service, physical, communication and cyber layer have been described and a procedure for the estimation of the possible damage of an incident has been reported. Attacks might affect large portions of the European power system, make restoration difficult and cause huge societal impact. In fact, due to the interconnection of the networks, a blackout in one or more countries could derive from an attack directed to neighbouring countries facilities, Thus there is a need for establishing the economic and organisational impact of the implementation of emerging cyber security frameworks in Europe. Cyber security needs first of all to define tests to verify the impact of standard procedure or countermeasures designed to limit the consequences of incidents on each layer. The report presents the test in order to verify: the security criteria and calculate the operative costs; apply the emergency or attach scenario; apply standards and countermeasures and evaluate the standards and countermeasures. The objective of this project is to identify costs and benefits for industrial stakeholders and for the society on an objective basis, and outline organisational processes whereve beneficial. To do so, a general procedure has been designed and applied on two particular cases of cyber - attacks: a SCADA based Control System operated by a TSO; a control room of a thermal Power Plant, operated by a generation utility. Along the text of this report, the aspects related to the physical system are included only to have a global view of potential attacks and the standards and countermeasures that will potentially reduce the vulnerability of the systems or speed up the restoration
Trial evaluation: conclusive lessons from Essence case studies
RT 57; Several cyber-security frameworks have been developed to protect critical infrastructures from cyber-attacks, but it was rather difficult to anticipate costs and benefits of their adoption, although worldwide experience had shown that both are huge. This report summarises the results of the ESSENCE project, discussing the methodology used in the case-studies, and discusses the open issues and the policy implications. The analysisn clearly shows that from a mere economic viewpoint, electric companies have no incentive to increase their security levels, as the annual costs of those countermeasures is much greater than their direct cost of the economic losses derived from a single blackout. However the total cost of an event for the society as a whole is by far greater than the annual cost of the said countermeasures

Domanda e offerta di ricerca e sviluppo nella PMI italiana. Due casi studio: il NISLabVCO e il Consorzio Ruvaris
RT 46; This work considers two case studies concerning R&D offer by NISLabVCO, a research laboratory for industrial R&D projects, and R&D demand by Consorzio Ruvaris, composed by a group of firms in the sector of taps and valves, and dedicated to technology innovation. In both cases the study has been carried out for a period of six years since starting of their activity. An appropriate benchmarking has been considered for the study and constituted by professional contract research, in the case of NISLabVCO, and R&D management as carried out in the big industry, in the case of Consorzio Ruvaris. In the case of NISLabVCO it has been observed an undeniable positive effect on technology innovation in its territory, however, human and financial resources available are not sufficient for development of the laboratory and competitive innovations. In the case of Consorzio Ruvaris it has been shown the validity of SMEs cooperation for technology innovation and good results have been obtained for cooperative learning by doing, however, management of R&D is too much similar to that of learning by doing to be effective in developing really competitive innovations. Questions on public aid concern the fact that both organizations are not generally directly eligible to such aids. Furthermore, in the case of Consorzio Ruvaris, the regionalization of R&D aids in Italy makes difficult cooperative participation of SMEs in the same sector but in different territories. Finally it is suggested to focus public aid in prefeasibility studies for contract research organizations and in specific critical moments of innovation development to make more effective the science to business process.

treatrew: a user-written STATA routine for estimating Average Treatment Effects by reweighting on propensity score
RT 43; Reweighting is a popular statistical technique to deal with inference in presence of a non-random sample. In the literature, various reweighting estimators have been proposed. This paper presents the user-written STATA command treatrew implementing the reweighting on propensity score estimator as proposed by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) in their seminal article, where parameters’ standard errors can be obtained either analytically or via bootstrapping. Since an implementation in STATA of this estimator with analytic standard errors was still missing, this paper (and the ADO-file and HELP-file accompanying it) aims at filling this gap by providing the community with an easy-to-use implementation of the reweighting on propensity score method, as a valuable tool for estimating treatment effects under selection on observables.
