Economic crisis and rising gaps North–South: evidence from the Italian regions
Full text linkThis study investigates the economic crises that occurred in Italy between 1970 and 2011, referring in particular to the employment level and the different effects on the Italian regions. Empirical results suggest that regions with a larger share of manufacturing or a higher number of temporary workers suffered to a greater extent than others during reces-sions. In contrast, regions with higher percentages of public employees and service indus-tries were better able to ‘resist ’ the negative phases of the economy. Moreover, the recent crisis has exacerbated the strong imbalances between the North and South making rebal-ancing policies necessary to place the country on a sustainable growth path

No full textIn this article - following the methodology developed by Hausmann et al. (Hausmann, R., Hwang, R., Rodrik, D. (2007) What you export matters. Journal of Economic Growth, 12: 1-25) - we investigate the evolution of production sophisticatedness of Italian provinces in the period 1997-2013 and the importance of the degree of 'complexity' of the provincial production bundle for subsequent economic growth. The analysis at a sub-national level, NUTS3, allows us to identify the spatial structure of economic complexity and the patterns of converge/divergence in this important ingredient of economic performance. We find evidence of a convergence in provincial production complexity during the pre-crisis period. Besides, we highlight using panel estimates a significant role of product sophisticatedness as an engine of growth. The current crisis has halted this convergence process and has asymmetrically affected provincial areas, substantially increasing the heterogeneity of provincial trajectories, in particular in the least developed parts of the country
