Does War Make States? Military Spending and the Italian State building, 1861-1945
Full text linkWe present empirical evidence on the relationship between military spending and the expansion of other governmental budgetary heading and tax revenues from the Unification of Italy (1861) up to the end of World War II. Mainly in the years preceding 1922, investments in education and social transfers to families moves together with the defense spending. That is, positive changes in defense implies both an increase in education and in transfers. Moreover, transfers also have a compensatory role during recessive phases. Positive changes in defence do not crowd out the investment in capital spending, while disinvestments in defense are associated with an increase in the investment in capital. The pro-cyclical behavior of the tax revenues is compatible with a debt financing dynamic of many government expenditures. Although our analytic narrative is not universally valid, it can support the persistent centrality of external war in the discontinuous development and expansion of the Italian central State, with some exceptions explained by the historical experience
Le imprese private nel sistema sanitario italiano (1978‐2018)
Full text linkLa recente pandemia ha richiamato l’attenzione degli studiosi, dei media e
dell’opinione pubblica sul funzionamento dei sistemi sanitari. Le diverse capacità
di risposta allo shock pandemico hanno alimentato il dibattito sui modelli
organizzativi adottati dai vari Paesi, che includono, con diverse impostazioni
e dimensioni, il ruolo delle imprese private erogatrici di servizi sanitari.
Nell'ambito di una crescente attenzione da parte delle gli studiosi, in particolare di storia economica e di impresa, il caso italiano merita certamente ulteriori approfondimenti, per la governance
multilivello che lo caratterizza, per le modalità gestionali dei soggetti
sanitari pubblici e per la rilevante presenza di soggetti privati erogatori di servizi sanitari in integrazione e/o concorrenza con quelli pubblici. Il saggio contiene
i primi risultati di una ricerca ancora in corso sullo sviluppo
delle imprese private nel quadro del sistema sanitario italiano nei quarant’anni
tra il 1978 e il 2018
La spesa pubblica in Italia: una crescita senza limiti?
No full textUsing new historical data, this paper evaluates Wagner’s Law in Italy over the time period from 1862 to 2009. To this aim, cointegration and Granger causation are used to investigate the long run relationship between government expenditure and GDP. Moreover, DOLS method is applied to estimate consistent long run elasticity between these two variables. Our main findings are that Wagner’s Law does not hold in the long run for total government expenditure. However, we find strong support for Wagner’s Law in the shorter time span from 1862 to the end of the 19th century. Such a result seems the consequence of state-building after Italy’s political unification. The new-born Italian state made a huge effort to create nation-wide infrastructures (i.e., railways, telegraph, mail, and so on) as well as an administrative structure well-ramified throughout the country. Conversely, evidence in support of Wagner’s Law is weaker in the period following WW2. Now Wagner’s Law is not verified for total government expenditure, but only for social spending, infrastructure spending, and spending for subsidies to the economy. This seems the consequence of the expansion of income-elastic cultural and welfare expenditures that were demanded to the state

Post-WWII Redistribution in the US: the Role of the Boom Cycle
Full text linkThis paper explores the impact of wartime military spending on postwar U.S. fiscal policy, with a particular focus on the “ratchet effect” in taxes and transfers. Through econometric analysis, we investigate how changes in defense spending during and after conflicts shape long-term federal transfer and tax policies, emphasizing the asymmetric influence of
economic growth cycles on defense budgets. Our findings challenge conventional perspectives, showing that economic booms reinforce the fiscal structures established in wartime, resulting in sustained increases in federal transfers and tax revenues. Conversely, during economic downturns, we observe a “reverse ratchet” effect, where increases in defense spending lead to higher transfers and decreased revenues, as fiscal resources are reallocated to stabilize household incomes
