Disparità territoriali nella misura del benessere economico. Un’applicazione dell’ESDA ai Sistemi Locali del Lavoro italiani.
2009
In this paper we want to provide a contribution to the analysis of territorial disparities considering Italian Local Labour Systems as basic geographic units. Local Labour Systems (LLS) represent the result of the spatial aggregation of neighbouring municipalities based on the daily commuting flows of local population owing to work reasons. Thus LLS can be described as self-contained economic-territorial spaces, constituted by two or more municipalities, which provide a basis to sub-provincial analysis, being a useful tool for the implementation of local development policies without relations with administrative zones. Having recourse to value added per capita at this particular disaggregat…
Measurement of Agglomeration and Spatial Effects
2009
The aim of the paper is to examine the influence of spatial agglomeration on the employment growth in the sicilian local labor systems. In this paper we want provide a methodological contribution to agglomeration literature. On the base of the hypothesis that the forces of agglomeration do not use up their effects inside of a single SLL but they extend to more wide geographic areas, and their effect fall down on the adjacent territorial partition; we have modified the traditional agglomeration index built by Maurell and Sédillot in 1999, at first, inverting the role of the industry with that one of the area, so we obtain a measure of agglomeration for each area, and then we included a spati…
Measuring agglomeration by spatial effects: a proposal
2015
In this paper we examine the influence of spatial dependence on the estimation of the effect of standard measures of agglomeration on local growth. The hypothesis is that the forces of agglomeration do not use up their effects inside a single local area but extend to wider geographic areas, particularly on the adjacent territories. To account for these spatial effects, we propose a modification of the traditional agglomeration index, suggested by Maurel and Sedillot (1999), including both agglomeration of economic activity within an area and neighbour effects, that is, the effect of agglomeration that comes from neighbouring areas. In the empirical exercise we compute the a-spatial and the …
