Selection bias ed incentivi alle imprese nei programmi per lo sviluppo locale: una valutazione ex-post di un programma di aiuti alle imprese per la S…
2014
Questo lavoro si concentra sulla valutazione di un programma di aiuti alle imprese facente parte di un più vasto programma per lo sviluppo locale realizzato in Italia durante il ciclo di programmazione comunitaria 2000-2006. In particolare, esso costituisce una valutazione ex-post dell’efficacia delle risorse destinate ai regimi di aiuto all’interno dei progetti integrati territoriali (PIT), e mira ad identificare l’eventuale presenza di distorsione da selezione (selection bias) nella quantificazione dell’efficacia della politica. L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è di esaminare il ruolo svolto dal processo di selezione nell’influenzare l’effetto positivo della politica di incentivi. L’analisi è…
Will COVID-19 Have Long-Lasting Effects on Inequality? Evidence from Past Pandemics
2021
This paper provides evidence on the impact of major epidemics from the past two decades on income distribution. The pandemics in our sample, even though much smaller in scale than COVID-19, have led to increases in the Gini coefficient, raised the income share of higher-income deciles, and lowered the employment-to-population ratio for those with basic education compared to those with higher education. We provide some evidence that the distributional consequences from the current pandemic may be larger than those flowing from the historical pandemics in our sample, and larger than those following typical recessions and financial crises.
La relazione tra imprenditorialità, innovazione e crescita economica: un confronto tra le macroregioni italiane
2016
The Relationship between Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Economic Growth: a Comparison between Italian Macro-Regions. This work is part of the scientific debate on the relationship between innovation and economic growth. In this paper the study of this quite complex and bidirectional relationship has been enhanced by a third factor that is entrepreneurship as a driving force for the development of local economies. Entrepreneurship can play a key role, especially for the regions of Southern Italy marked by significant delays in development than the regions of Central/North. The paper try to launch a reflection on the role of the University in the creation of entrepreneurship through two spe…
Adopting sustainable irrigation technologies in Italy: a study on the determinants of inter- and intra-farm diffusion
2023
This paper analyses the drivers for adopting irrigation systems with water conservation and saving technologies (WCSTs) by Italian farmers. The agricultural sector in Italy, like in other Mediterranean countries, suffers from water scarcity and water endowment variability. Water resources play a decisive role in agricultural production and in implementing large-scale WCSTs capable of improving the resilience of the whole agricultural sector. This study uses a microeconomic panel data approach to estimate farmers' decisions in adopting (inter-farm) sustainable irrigation technologies and assesses the intensity of (intra-farm) water-saving practices. Our analysis identifies the main determina…

The Well-Being Gap during the Great Recession: The Role of Growth and Institutions
2020
The purpose of this paper is to examine the well-being dynamics across European countries during the Great Recession and to investigate the potential role of the quality of formal institutions in mitigating the negative effect of the economic downturn. This study uses the club convergence methodology by Phillips and Sul (2007; 2009) to group EU-28 countries that present similar features in terms of well-being during the period 2005-2017. The study also applies probit models to investigate the potential role of several social and institutional characteristics that are supposed to affect subjective well-being levels. The results show the existence of a “well-being gap” among European countrie…

Ex-post evaluation of Territorial Integrated Projects in Italy: an empirical analysis at firm level
2013
This paper focuses on the evaluation of an incentive program for firms implemented in southern Italy during the last decade. In the framework of the policy instruments aimed to reduce territorial disparities, and to support local development, territorial integrated projects (TIP) constituted a new operational mode to implement the Regional Operational Programmes. A TIP is defined as a ?set of inter-sectorial actions, closely consistent and linked among them, which converge towards the common objective of territorial development and justify a unitary implementation approach'. The resources allocated for each TIP may be aimed at three types of interventions such as infrastructures, public act…

Reti, nuovi settori, sostenibilità: prossime sfide per lo sviluppo regionale
2014
La crisi ha stimolato, in molti ambiti, la scoperta di nuovi paradigmi o la rivalutazione di schemi concettuali che stentavano ad affermarsi. Il volume vuole riflettere su come alcuni di questi nuovi paradigmi (in tema di reti, nuovi settori, sostenibilità) abbiano orientato l’indagine empirica territoriale e raccogliere ed evidenziare le sfide che essi presentano per l’analisi e le politiche regionali.
