What ECONOMIAeDIRITTO.it does

ECONOMIAeDIRITTO.it is a free-access monthly digital scientific journal (ISSN 2282-3964) published since May 2013 by Centro Studi di Economia e Diritto (Ce.S.E.D.), a non-profit association founded by Claudio Melillo in 2011 and headquartered in Legnano, Milan, Italy. The journal covers economics, law, taxation, and jurisprudence through peer-reviewed articles, jurisprudence reviews, and tax practice analyses, with over 150 monthly issues and 2,000+ scientific articles published to date. The underlying technology is a standard WordPress-based content management platform with no proprietary features; content is organized into editorial sections spanning economic rubrics (CSR, internationalization, HR, risk management), legal rubrics (business criminal law, labor law, web law), tax rubrics (international taxation, transfer pricing, CFC rules), and jurisprudence reviews (European, constitutional, civil, tax, criminal). Distribution is multi-channel: a free self-serve website with mandatory registration, a Telegram channel for real-time updates, YouTube streaming via the Melillo Consulting channel, and in-person events across Italian cities and Lugano, Switzerland.

The business model rests on two revenue streams operating under a non-profit structure. The primary stream is annual Ce.S.E.D. membership subscriptions (same fee for all individual and corporate member categories, set by the Board of Directors), which provides members with free or discounted access to training events, seminars, business matching, and tax audit assistance. The secondary stream is revenue from professional training courses under the Alta Formazione umbrella, including the SOI-PMI program (tools for SME internationalization) and TAX LAB (tax risk management), with some courses offered free to members and at varying rates to non-members, often accredited for continuing professional education credits through ODCEC Milano. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored by a network of university partnerships (Università Cattolica, Università di Milano-Bicocca, SDA Bocconi, Link Campus University of Malta) and institutional collaborations (Guardia di Finanza, Scuola Superiore dell'Economia e delle Finanze). Target segments include legal and tax professionals (primary), academic researchers, business managers and entrepreneurs, and public administration officials. The organization has no external investors, no funding rounds, and functions as a founder-controlled professional publishing and education entity with stable, continuous operation since 2013.
