  • Structural Reforms During the Greek Economic Adjustment Program

    Open AccessNikolaos Benos, Maurizio Conti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Regional Science2026

    Amalgamation reforms have been extensively implemented in several countries as policy instruments to improve local government service provision and reduce costs, based on scale economies. However, their effectiveness remains ambiguous in practice and varies depending on the context. We investigate the impact of a large‐scale amalgamation that took place in Greek municipalities in 2011, on current costs and investments. Using data for the 2005–201…

  • The effects of the affordable care act on labor supply and other uses of time

    Open AccessAnna Bottasso, Gianluca Cerruti et al.ARTICLEEconomia Politica2026References: 4

    A vast literature studies the behavioral impacts of health care reforms, often coming to controversial conclusions. Here we examine the time allocation effects of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obama Care, focusing on two pillars, namely Medicaid expansion, which increased access to public health insurance, and the Tax Credit Premium, subsidizing the purchase of private health insurance. Using 2012–2015 daily diary data from the American …

  • Sailing through history

    Open AccessAnna Bottasso, Gianluca Cerruti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Population Economics2026References: 12

We show that individuals living near a medieval port are less likely to view migrants as a security threat or to report right-wing voting preferences; these…

    Open AccessAnna Bottasso, Gianluca Cerruti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Regional Science2022

    In this paper, we study the short‐run evolution of political trust during the recent covid‐19 pandemic using survey data for a sample of young individuals living in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. In particular, we analyze whether pre‐pandemic perceptions and experiences of citizens about various dimensions of local governments and institutional quality had any mediating effect on the evolution of political trust after the outbreak of the covi…

  • Roads to innovation

    Open AccessAnna Bottasso, Maurizio Conti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Regional Science2022

    In this study, we leverage on the ancient Roman roads network as a source of exogenous variation to identify the causal effect of the modern highways network on innovative performance of Italian NUTS‐3 regions. Empirical findings suggest that a 10% increase in the highways stock in a region generates an increase in the number of patents of about 3%–4%, over a 5‐year period. Further analysis suggests that our findings can in part be explained by a…
