Human capital accumulation and migration in a peripheral EU region: the case of Basilicata
No full textWe investigate the challenges that migration flows pose on policymaking aimed at fostering human capital accumulation in peripheral regions. We employ a unique data set generated through a postal survey designed and conducted by the authors. The focus of our analysis is on the micro-level location decisions of a sample of highly educated and skilled individuals residing in Basilicata, an Italian Mezzogiorno region, who have benefited from a locally funded human capital investment policy.

Location decision of polluting firms and environmental policy
Get PDFThe delocation of firms is often viewed as a major outcome of a stiff environmental policy. In this paper, we study the impact of a strict anti-pollution policy pursued by a government on domestic firms locational decisions and determine the main variables that interact with such a policy. Some preliminary welfare implications are also provided. Keywords: Environmental policy; Plant location; Imperfect competition. JEL classification: H7; R3; D4
Politica ambientale e localizzazione delle imprese
No full textEnvironmental Policy and Firm Localisation - The delocation of firms is often viewed as a major outcome of rigorous
environmental policy. In this paper, we study the impact of a strict anti-pollution policy pursued by a government on
domestic firms locational decisions and determine the main variables that interact with such a policy. Some preliminary
implications for welfare are also considered. Section 2 presents the model, while Section 3 derives Cournot-Nash
equilibria in the two market and. Section 4 goes on to consider the issue of the optimal location choice made by firms
in response to the environmental policy enforced by the government. In section 5 we analyse the alternative strategies a government can adopt and the possible effects on welfare,while the final section summarizes the results
Il sistema produttivo della meccatronica in Puglia: trasformazioni recenti e prospettive di sviluppo
No full textIl presente saggio ha come obiettivo l’analisi del sistema produttivo della meccatronica pugliese; in particolare, della sua evoluzione recente, alla luce della crisi economica internazionale partita nel 2008 e del ruolo svolto dalle politiche pubbliche, sia nella nascita che nella tenuta nel tempo del polo produttivo. Nonostante stia attraversando una fase delicata, il sistema produttivo presenta delle notevoli potenzialità di sviluppo. Un importante ruolo di sostegno allo sviluppo potrà essere giocato dalle politiche pubbliche: da una parte, strumenti finalizzati ad ampliare il numero degli attori; dall’altra, strumenti finalizzati ad aumentare il contenuto tecnologico e la capacità competitiva delle imprese locali
The Contribution of European Cohesion Policy to Public Investment
No full textCohesion Policy (known also as Regional Policy) is the European Union’s main development policy (Viesti and Prota 2008; Viesti 2019). It has evolved over time: from a tool to counterbalance the regional disparities inevitably emerging from the Single Market, and, subsequently, from the Monetary Union, to the investment pillar of the new economic policy coordination (Berkowitz et al. 2015). In the period 2007–2013, as result of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Cohesion Policy has been the major source of finance for public investment for many Member States of the European Union, representing up to 57% of government capital investment.
The aim of this chapter is twofold: first, to provide an overview of the expenditures of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF) at national and regional levels over the last decades, and second, to discuss the impact of the investments co-financed through these two funds mainly in terms of physical achievements. We focus on the ERDF and the CF (which represent about 75% of Cohesion Policy funding in the 2014–2020 programming period), since the bulk of their expenditure provides support to public investment.
Our analysis covers three programming periods: 1994–1999, 2000–2006, 2007–2013, though we focus mainly on 2000–2006 and 2007–2013 in order to take into account the Eastern enlargement of the European Union and the effects of 2008 crisis.
We use two datasets made available by the European Commission. The first one provides, in a single source, historic long-term regionalised annual EU expenditure data covering four programming periods, but it does not contain thematic information. The second one shows allocations and expenditures from 2000 to 2013 broken down by expenditure categories. Moreover, the study on “Geography of Expenditures”, one of the Work Packages of the ex post evaluation of Cohesion Policy programmes 2007–2013, has produced a consolidated database covering the regional ERDF and CF investments from 2000 to year 2014 at NUTS2 level (WIIW and ISMERI Europa 2015)
