A spatial multilevel analysis of Italian SMEs Productivity

2009

In this paper, we adapt multilevel analysis methods to investigate the spatial variability of SMEs productivity across the Italian territory, and account for differences in the socio-economic context. Our results suggest that to properly capture the variability of the data, it is important to allow for both spatial mean and slope effects. Social decay has the expected negative impact. However, while this effect is larger on firms with smaller capital intensity, firms with higher capital intensity seem to be less affected by geography. Greater territorial heterogeneity emerges among those firms with lower capital to labour ratios.

A Spatial Multilevel Analysis of Italian SMEs Productivity

2009

Abstract In this paper, we adapt multilevel analysis methods to investigate the spatial variability of SMEs' productivity across the Italian territory, and account for differences in the socio-economic context. Our results suggest that to properly capture the variability of the data, it is important to allow for both spatial mean and slope effects. Social decay has the expected negative impact. However, while this effect is larger on firms with smaller capital intensity, firms with higher capital intensity seem to be less affected by geography. Greater territorial heterogeneity emerges among those firms with lower capital to labour ratios. Une analyse spatiale a plusieurs niveaux de la prod…

Report relativo all'indagine qualitativa effettuata nel territorio del Calatino Sud-Simeto

2019

Il capitolo è il prodotto di una ricerca quali-quantitativa che ha messo in luce, per quanto riguarda l’area del Calatino Sud-Simeto, un’economia disaggregata e riorganizzata solo in base a dipendenze esterne (economia marginale), del tutto simile a quella descritta da Bagnasco in Le tre Italie (1977). Allo scopo di favorire forme di cooperazione e reti inter-istituzionali di natura locale, la ricerca evidenzia le strategie di potenziamento delle capabilities (Sen 2000) della cittadinanza straniera residente nel Calatino Sud-Simeto attraverso lo sguardo degli stakeholder istituzionali e informali del territorio di riferimento. A fronte di condizioni cristallizzate (Boudon 1998; Elster 1989)…
