No full textThe implementation of environmentally sustainable energy
policies is a well-defined objective of the European Union (EU),
especially after the adoption of Directive 2009/28/EC. Following the
guidelines provided by the EU, this paper aims at identifying the role of
institutional, socio-economic and region-specific determinants in the
variation of regional renewable energy production and, therefore, in the
achievement of sustainable energy goals, i.e. increased renewable
production. By using a Logit regression on 20 Italian regions, we have
been able to show and highlight the accomplishments and failures of the
adopted policies. The findings show that institutional and countryspecific drivers, together with innovation issues are playing the main
role in the development of a green energy system
A two-step approach to evaluate drivers and barriers to clean energy policies: Italian regional evidence
No full textImplementing policies able to drive energy sector transition is an objective of the European Union. Based on economic literature, we argue that several determinants might be either drivers or barriers to the effectiveness of energy policy interventions: political-institutional, socio-economic and region-specific factors. For understanding their role in the Italian framework, this research aims at assessing to what extent each group of determinants influences the transition towards green energy systems. In doing so, by using several econometric techniques, we are able to offer useful suggestion to the policymaker about potential intervention strategy. Finding shows that institutional and regional-specific drivers play a pivotal role in driving Italian regions energy transition

No full textIn the aftermath of the Great Recession, European economies have recognised the relevance of industrial sector competitiveness and have taken a wide set of actions to increase it. In this view, the European Commission has introduced a wide set of instruments to relaunch industrial sector competitiveness. Among others, incen-tive zones present several features which might allow them to become booster of regional competitiveness, by generating spillover effects able to shape the environ-ment where industrial firms operate. Based on these premises, the research aims at assessing if the establishment of incentive zones acts as a booster of regional indus-trial competitiveness and which contextual factors allow to enhance it. First, we con-struct a novel metric of regional industrial competitiveness and, subsequently, by using econometric techniques, we evaluate the effectiveness of different typologies of incentive zones in promoting regional industrial competitiveness. The diversifica-tion among the different typologies ofzones allows to evaluate the effectiveness of each. These results, interpreted together with the contextual factors of the regions in which they are localised, allow to provide useful suggestions to policymakers willing to implement regional industrial policies, by informing them on both the strengths and weakness of these instruments realised in specific regions
