Estrazioni di petrolio e gas in Basilicata: quali ricadute economiche?

- Davide Bubbico

In Basilicata oil and gas extraction has been under way for over 20 years; the article aims to analyse the relation of this with the national consumption trends and oil production and the consequences on the local economy and employment, specifically in the area mainly involved in new business ventures in recent years, Val d’Agri. Lastly, the analysis considers the change in demographic structure and the limits of National and local planning.

Politiche espansive e crescita debole. Siamo in una stagnazione secolare?

- Vittorio Daniele

Although the central banks of the world’s main economies have implemented expansionary monetary policies to bring down interest rates and therefore stimulate investments, the results have not been up to expectations. Monetary policy has not had the desired effects on the real economy, since the aggregate demand remained weak. The inequalities in income distribution and the ageing of population are related to the secular stagnation.

Una Eurozona da Draghi?

- Giorgio Gattei, Antonino Iero

The “dark illness” of the Euro-zone is that the abundant savings are not mobilized for investment. The question therefore arises of whether the European Central Bank is actually doing everything possible to prevent Europe from falling over the cliff. The article reports the remedies put in place by the ECB first by reducing the interest rate and then via quantitive easing. None of this has been able to cope with the insufficiency of investments which instead would be enough to create opportunities for growth via greater public spending.

Valutazione delle Università e distribuzione delle risorse scarse

- Riccardo Realfonzo, Gaetano Perone

University reforms of recent years have aimed at increasing efficiency by reducing funding and adopting competition between universities. This study shows instead that the system of allocating resources penalizes Southern universities above all because it does not take into account their difficult socio-economic context. It would therefore be necessary to adopt indicators that do not penalize universities merely because they operate in less advanced socio-economic settings.

La criminalità e l’industria agroalimentare

- Gaetano Perone

The leading position of Italy’s agro-food sector is threatened because of the Agromafia with the rise of organised crime in the sector. The article shows that criminal activities cause market distortion leading to an increase in prices and a loss of consumer buying power which depresses the economic cycle due to the fall in demand. The agro-food sector should therefore be protected and defended especially because it is capable of attracting large amounts of capital and of triggering processes of constant growth.

Gli stranieri in Italia: costo o beneficio?

- Klodian Muço

Many commentators argue that in Italy the costs of immigration exceed the benefits but a careful analysis of the data casts doubt on this view. It is significant, for instance, that there is a credit balance in payments to the State by immigrants, who in fact pay more taxes and contributions than they receive in public services.
