The DNSH principle in Italian NRRP projects
This study analyses the application of the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) principle in the projects of the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), considering it not only as a uniform regulatory constraint, but also as an effective process mediated by territorial, institutional, and sectoral variables. The study focuses specifically on the construction sector in Italy. Through normative and literature analysis, the research identifie…

A decision support system for measuring and evaluating solutions for sustainable development
While sustainable development has long been a subject of study, only in recent years have international organizations, nations, regions and communities intensified their action towards it and engaged in efforts to make its principles operational. The attempts to design policies and strategies and define measuring instruments for implementing sustainable development and reducing the uncertainty of the implementation process have been not completel…
Wage Compression within the Firm
We revisit the role of labour market institutions by showing how they affect the sharing of firm-specific rents between employers and employees. We look at an Italian wage indexation mechanism (‘Scala Mobile’) that compressed the distribution of wages, imposing real wage increases at the bottom of the distribution. After developing a simplified version of a search model with intra-firm bargaining and on-the-job search, we document that skilled wo…
Employment Protection Legislation, Capital Investment and Access to Credit
This article estimates the causal impact of dismissal costs on capital deepening and productivity, exploiting a reform that introduced unjust‐dismissal costs in Italy for firms below 15 employees, leaving firing costs unchanged for larger firms. We show that the rise in firing costs induced an increase in the capital‐labour ratio and a decline in total factor productivity in small firms relative to larger firms. Our results indicate that capital …
An Economic Perspective on Employment Protection Legislation and Labour Market Prospects
During the 1990s, there was considerable continuity in the employment protection legislation (EPL) of OECD countries, with one major exception: the deregulation of fixed-term contracts and other non-standard labour relationships. Particularly in Southern Europe, changes of labour market policy consisted mainly of measures aimed at introducing ‘flexibility at the margin’, that is, making the utilization of non-permanent contracts more loosely regu…
Who Pays for it? The Heterogeneous Wage Effects of Employment Protection Legislation
This study estimates the effect of employment protection legislation on wages, exploiting the 1990 Italian reform that introduced unjust dismissal costs for firms below 15 employees. We find that the slight average wage reduction induced by the reform hides highly heterogeneous effects. Workers who change firm during the reform period suffer a drop in the entry wage, while incumbent workers are left unaffected. Also, the negative effect of the re…
Temporary Employment, Job Flows and Productivity
We investigate the effects of two reforms of temporary employment using panel data on Italian firms. We exploit variation in their implementation across regions and sectors for identification. Our results show that the reform of apprenticeship contracts increased job turnover and induced the substitution of external staff with firms’ apprentices, with an overall productivity-enhancing effect. The reform of fixed-term contracts instead did not pro…
Surveillance of Summer Mortality and Preparedness to Reduce the Health Impact of Heat Waves in Italy
Since 2004, the Italian Department for Civil Protection and the Ministry of Health have implemented a national program for the prevention of heat-health effects during summer, which to-date includes 34 major cities and 93% of the residents aged 65 years and over. The Italian program represents an important example of an integrated approach to prevent the impact of heat on health, comprising Heat Health Watch Warning Systems, a mortality surveilla…
Firm Heterogeneity in Capital–Labour Ratios and Wage Inequality
This article documents the increasing dispersion of capital-labour ratios across firms in the US and provides some empirical evidence of a positive correlation at the two-digit industry level between the dispersion of capital-labour ratios across firms and residual wage inequality. To explain this empirical fact, the article adopts a search model where the exogenous decline in the relative price of equipment capital makes the distribution of capi…
Labor Market Institutions and Wage Inequality
The authors investigate how labor market institutions such as unemployment insurance, unions, firing regulations, and minimum wages have affected the evolution of wage inequality among male workers. Results of estimations using data on institutions in eleven OECD countries indicate that changes in labor market institutions can account for much of the change in wage inequality between 1973 and 1998. Factors found to have been negatively associated…
