Green degrees, unequal futures? How sustainability in higher education curricula impacts graduate outcomes in Italian regions
This research examines the evolving landscape of academic curricula, focusing from a territorial perspective on changing graduate labour market outcomes in the wake of the introduction of the so-called ‘green curricula’ in the Italian higher education (HE) system. As the promotion of ‘green skills’ and the creation of ‘green jobs’ gain momentum in the sustainability debates at both the European and international level, we analyse how the expansio…
The kind of things that money just can't buy
This study provides new firm-level evidence on the impact of the technological change generated by investments in instrumental goods on employment growth. We posit that firms' potential absorptive capacity moderates this effect by leveraging the embodied technological change (ETC) contained in these goods. Testing our hypothesis on administrative linked employer-employee (LEED) data for a sample of 6.120 manufacturing firms over 2008–2017, we fin…
Get back to where you once belonged’? Effects of skilled internal migration on Italian regional green growth
The paper investigates the effects of internal migration on green growth in Italian regions. We use employment in "sustainable" sectors to measure green growth, resorting to a novel measure based on the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities. Using data from 103 Italian regions (NUTS3) from 2008 to 2018, we find that highly skilled interregional migrants are positively related to green employment in their destinations. The effect is possibly due …
Firms’ eco-innovation and Industry 4.0 technologies in urban and rural areas
We investigate the extent to which firms’ propensity to eco-innovate, adopt Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and leverage them to eco-innovate varies with their location. We maintain that urban firms should be more prone to eco-innovate and adopt I4.0 technologies than rural ones, and more capable to make the latter functional to the former. Using a large sample of European firms, we test and confirm these hypotheses only partially. Firms in rura…
Opening the black-box of graduates' horizontal skills
This paper assesses labour market outcomes associated with the acquisition of different graduate competences in the Italian labour markets particularly focusing on ‘soft skills’ developed during HE programs. By using a classification of graduate jobs that distinguishes between different horizontal skills, namley managerial and communication skills, the paper conducts an empirical analysis of the benefits of being employed in such occupations havi…
