Assessment of subjective economic well-being in Italy
No full textUsing the European Survey on Income and Living Conditions for the year
2005, we analyze the subjective economic well-being and its determinants relating to
some sub-groups of Italian households by means of an Ordered Logit Model (OLM),
whose dependent variable is represented by a perception variable, that is the ability of
households to make ends meet. The empirical results highlight that the main
determinants of subjective economic well-being are the same for the four typologies of
households. The subjective economic well-being is not only related to the economic
status, but it is mostly influenced by socio-demographic variables, as work and
education conditions. Furthermore, the level of subjective well-being of Italian
households changes passing from a specific status of socio-demographic variable to
another one
Composition of families and subjective economic well-being: an application to Italian context
No full textUsing Italian data on Income and Living Conditions for the year 2005, the paper explores empirically whether the determinants of subjective economic well-being (SEW) differ (or not) in four representative typologies of households. By means of a Partial Proportional Ordered Logit Model the subjective economic well-being – proxied by the capacity of households to make ends meet – has been explored. Results highlight the variables acting on SEW, common to each typology, are related both to economic status (specifically, the capacity to pay taxes and to afford housing, clothes and holiday expenditures) and to socio-demographic status (specifically, the work-status and the highest level of education). A more in depth analysis, by level of education, shows the economic precariousness of some specific typologies, namely families with one person, with two or more children, and those whose respondent has a very low level of education
The Determinants of Subjective Economic Well-being: An Analysis on Italian SILC Data
No full textUsing Italian data on Income and living conditions for the year 2005, the paper investigates the main determinants of households’ subjective economic well-being by means of a Partial Proportional Ordered Logit Model. According to a joint subjective and objective perspective of analysis, we use as dependent variable the perceived ability of households to make ends meet. Whereas, we use as explanatory variables some objective aspects of living conditions relating to housing, financial equilibrium, possession of durables and quality of residence place and some socio-demographic characteristics. The empirical results show that the financial strain is the most relevant dimension of living conditions influencing the subjective economic well-being, but its effect is attenuated depending on the level of education and the tenure status of accommodation. Actually, when the highest levels of education are coupled with the status of self-employee and house-owner households have more chances to reach a higher probability to be economically satisfied. The insights coming out from the results may call for different policy measures depending on the degree of well-being and the characteristics of households. In particular, more efficient policies would be oriented to sustain the households’ income, to encourage to buy a house and to allow young people to get the highest levels of education

A New Spatial Shift-Share Decomposition: An Application to Tourism Competitiveness in Italian Regions
No full textThe paper proposes a new version of spatial shift-share decomposition to improve on the various approaches to conventional shift-share analysis found in the literature. The novelty of our proposal is that it enables researchers to assess spatial competitiveness effects controlling for the influence of industrial specialization at both regional and neighborhood level. This new version is applied to inbound tourism in Italian regions and enables us to identify the best and worst performers. Our empirical results identify favorable scenarios in some areas of the country, such as Sardinia as well as regional advantage in a sizeable number of well-known destinations
