La depubblicizzazione italiana dei servizi pubblici locali

- Sergio Marotta

Although it has now been made clear that European Union law does not make it compulsory to privatize local public services, Italy continues to follow policies of de-nationalization. This involves removing the management of such services from the public administration and increasingly relying on the market as the only efficient form of management. All Italian legislation in the sector of local public services in recent years has thus tended to constantly hinder public management in favor of outsourcing.

L’Italia, i brevetti e la necessità di nuove politiche industriali

- Roberto Romano, Sergio Ferrari

The annual patents report shows that Italy continues to spend a tiny fraction of what other countries spend on research and development. To overcome this structural constraint and to see beyond the current technological limits, extensive investment is necessary in support of firms’ research, so as to trigger the necessary technological and structural changes. To do so, a very broad political action is needed, starting from a massive intervention in public research and from a detailed, planned industrial policy.

Fenomenologia dell’evasione fiscale in Italia

- Filippo Elba

On the international scene, Italy is one of the countries with the highest underground economy. On the issue of tax evasion various studies based on empirical evidence show that the causes include both the high tax rates and psychological and moral elements. The article shows that despite the seriousness of the evasion, Italy has managed to combat the phenomenon thanks to the new government’s measures on tax compliance.

La formazione professionale e la produttività delle imprese italiane

- Marco Guerrazzi

A large body of theoretical and empirical literature points out that investments in vocational training are able to boost corporate productivity as well as economic growth. In confirmation of this, Italian firms lag behind in the international rankings of training provision and, at the same time, are suffering a long-lasting productivity decline that slows down GDP growth rates. Using data from INDACO 2009 and CVTS4, I show that additional investments in training could be able to reverse the situation by improving the product.

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.

Flessibilità o domanda aggregata? L’andamento dell’occupazione in Italia

- Lorenzo Testa, Antonella Stirati

Many economists share the view that it is market rigidities that cause high unemployment. The empirical evidence presented in this study and the econometric model constructed based on the “effective long-term demand” approach seem however to confirm that it is the production trend that causes variations in employment and not vice versa.

I tre divari delle Regioni italiane

- Nicolò Bellanca, Mauro Maltagliati, Roberto Martino

The analysis of Italian dualism is usually made by thinking of a one-dimensional gap. This paper aims to contribute to the debate by including in the analysis a range of divergences in various contexts of group life. The results show that regional inequalities are greater in citizen’s rights than in the economic and cultural sphere.

Il dualismo del mercato del lavoro in Italia

- Paola Corbo

Facilitating the use of temporary employment contracts without undermining the regulation of permanent contracts worsens the dualism of the Italian labor market; the article identifies an indicator of the difference in labor protection between regular and temporary contracts. Italy is one of the countries that over the years has increased the difference in regulation of the various kinds of contract; with the Fornero law there was a reduction of dualism, which then began to grow again with the Poletti decree.
