Italy's history of education: towards an interdisciplinary approach
No full textIn December 2019, scholars belonging to various disci-plines – economic history, history of education and economics – met at the University of Rome Tor Vergata for a two-day meeting on the theme Edu-cation and economic development: an interdisciplinary workshop on the history of education in Italy. The year 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the publication of Carlo M. Cipolla’s Literacy and Development in the West (1969), a pioneering contribution that stimulated the debate on the inter-dependence between education, human capital and economic development. The present special issue on Literacy and Development aims at favouring a reduction of the gap between disciplines that, despite relying on different methodologies and perspectives, often deal with similar research questions

The location of the Italian manufacturing industry, 1871–1911: a sectoral analysis
No full textThis study focuses on industrial location in Italy during the period 1871–1911, when manufacturing moved from artisanal to factory-based production processes. There is general agreement in the historical and economic literature that factor endowment and domestic market potential represented the main drivers of industrial location. We test the relative importance of the above drivers of location for the various manufacturing sectors using data at the provincial level. Estimation results reveal that the location of capital intensive sectors (such as chemicals, cotton, metalmaking and paper) was driven by domestic market potential and literacy. Once market potential and literacy are accounted for, the evidence on the effect of water endowment on industrial location is mixed, depending on the manufacturing sector considered
