Analysis and empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of policy measures aimed at fostering employment.
Areas of focus
1. Analysis and econometric evaluation of active employment policies and matching of labour supply and demand. The activity includes:
– economic analyses and micro-econometric evaluations concerning active employment policies, with specific reference to the regulatory interventions and tax breaks directed to disadvantaged geographical areas, with specific reference to the measure Decontribuzione Sud and related measures provided for in Law No.178 of 30 December 2020. The micro-econometric analyses and evaluations can be developed in an empirical context based on employer-employees data linked (LEED) type, subject to the availability of data on the subjects (enterprises and individuals) involved in the measures in question;
– economic, descriptive and econometric analysis of the flows in and out of the market or the matching between labour demand and supply, conducted at different levels: individual, sectoral, local. The analyses of the matching between labour demand and supply – inflows and outflows divided by profession or by the characteristics of the production and entrepreneurial fabric – can be carried out at the level of provincial administrative units and/or at the level of local labour systems, in order to investigate the underlying factors and possible remedies of persistent territorial imbalances.
2. Structural changes, new technologies and the green transition of the labour market. The activities will aim to conduct empirical evaluation of the relationship between structural changes in the economy – with specific focus on the spread of new technologies and the green transition of economic processes – and the evolution of employment, occupational and wage profiles in the market. Different lines of research dealing with the processes of adaptation of the employment and/or wage fabric in light of technological, climatic and energy and public policy changes (National Resilience Plan) are foreseen.
3. Enterprises, organisation and labour demand. Socio-economic and empirical analysis aimed at identifying the managerial, technological, institutional and competitive factors that influence (directly and indirectly) human capital accumulation, personnel organisation and the profile of labour demand, i.e. the responsiveness of businesses to policy interventions.
