Labor market spillovers of a large plant opening. Evidence from the oil industry Abstract We examine the labor market spillovers associated with the establishment of a large oil extraction facility in a peripheral commuting zone in Southern Italy, focusing on the period of physical investment. Employing a synthetic difference-in-differences design with commuting zone-level census data, we find no evidence of an impact on overall employment or the total number of establishments. However, we estimate positive effects in sectors supplying goods and services to the oil industry and among large firms. As for the latter finding, we estimate positive within-firm employment effects using social security micro-data.

The Fourth Italy: a contemporary account of the Italian economic geography Abstract We update Bagnasco’s work on the Third Italy and its interpretative model of Italy’s economic geography adding a Fourth Italy to the existing taxonomy of productive systems. This new conceptual model frames the emergence of Italian Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) of start-ups in several cities. We describe their characteristics, localization, and institutional patterns. The Fourth Italy and its cognitive capitalist production highlights some situated agglomeration externalities. Current policies supporting EEs have often exacerbated existing patterns of uneven development, following a logic of economic convergence. We call for place-sensitive policy at the meso-level, to enhance the regenerative power of EEs and the development of the Fourth Italy.
