Meritocracy, Growth, and Lessons from Italy's Economic Decline
This book draws lessons on the importance of meritocracy for economic growth by analysing Italy's economic decline in the past few decades. Connections, rather than merit, are a long-standing feature of the Italian elites, even in the corporate sector. This became a significant problem when Italy's economy could no longer grow due to imitation, devaluation, and public debt, and faced the challenges of becoming a frontier knowledge-based open economy. This book uses international comparisons on social capital, governance, the role of the public sector, efficiency of the judiciary, education, gender and social inequality, social mobility, corporate standards, financial structures, and more to ...

Who Lost the Most?
This paper investigates what happened to the wage distribution in Italy during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows which categories of workers and economic sectors have suffered more than others and to what extent both the actual level of smart-working and the ability to Working From-Home can influence the wage distribution. We use a unique dataset relying on the merging of two sample surveys: the Italian Labor Force Survey set up by National Institute of Statistics and the Italian Survey of Professions conducted by the National Institute for Public Policy Analysis. We estimate quantile regression models accounting for selection. First, the findings reveal that the pandemic has...
Peer Interactions, Local Markets, and Wages
This paper investigates the relationship between the spatial distribution of occupations with a high content of peer interactions and wages among Italian provinces. At this aim, we use a unique employer-employee dataset obtained by merging administrative data on wages and labor market histories of individuals, with survey data on job tasks and contents. The spatial distribution of jobs intensive in peer-interactions is further measured according to the occupational structure of Italian provinces. The econometric analysis shows that the concentration of peer interactions leads to higher wages at the province level. These results are robust to firms and workers' heterogeneity and endogeneity issues.

Even More Discouraged?
This paper evaluates if and to what extent the risk of becoming Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) has worsened during the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy. The analysis is based on a unique dataset obtained from the merging of two sample surveys, the Italian Labor Force Survey and the Institutional Quality Index dataset. We find that the probability of being NEET significantly increased during the pandemic, but heterogeneously between age cohorts and geographical areas. The most affected categories have been young people (aged 25-34) and those living in North-West regions. Females are mostly affected compared to males, especially those experiencing motherhood and living in a Southern...
Le classi sociali in Italia oggi
Alla fine, il capitalismo maturo della globalizzazione è stato capace di traghettarci in un mondo dove le antiche divisioni di classe sono tornate a fare la differenza. Esistono ancora le classi sociali in Italia? Esiste una borghesia e un proletariato o siamo diventati tutti ceto medio? E in che modo ceti e classi influiscono sulla crisi della democrazia e della rappresentanza? Cinquant'anni fa Paolo Sylos Labini pubblicò il Saggio sulle classi sociali, un libro fondamentale che rivoluzionò l'idea stessa della struttura sociale italiana, mettendo in luce come negli anni del boom economico fosse nato un vasto ceto medio, non più proletario e non ancora borghese, ormai egemone. In questo ...
