We analyse the content of Italian occupations operating in about 600 sectors with a focus on dimensions that expose workers to risks during COVID-19 epidemics. leverage detailed information from ICP, equivalent O*Net and find several need physical proximity operate: employed whose index is above national average are more than 6.5 million (mostly retail trade). Groups at risk complications (mainly male age 50) work little exposed proximity, currently under lockdown or can remotely. The...
In this paper we present important correlations between immigration and labor market outcomes of native workers in the US. We use data on local markets, states regions from Census American Community Survey over period 1970-2010. first look at simple then regression analysis with an increasing number controls for observed unobserved factors. review potential methods to separate part correlation that captures causal link immigrants show estimates obtained 2SLS method using popular shift-share...
The effects of paid parental leave policies on infant health have yet to be established. In this paper we investigate these by exploiting the introduction California Paid Family Leave (PFL), first program in U.S. that specifically provides working parents with time off for bonding a newborn. We measure using full census hospitalizations and set control states, implement differences-in-differences approach. Our results suggest decline admissions, which is concentrated among those causes are...
In this article, we review the internal geographic mobility of immigrants and natives in United States recent decades, with a focus on period since 2000. We confirm continuing secular decline already pointed out by existing literature, show that it persisted post great recession period. then foreign-born establish that, average, they did not have total rates higher than natives. However, their response to local economic conditions was stronger from 1980 2017. A research reveals elasticity is...
We analyse the content of Italian occupations operating in about 600 sectors with a focus on dimensions that expose workers to contagion risks during COVID-19 epidemics. To do so we leverage extremely detailed and granular information from ICP, equivalent O*Net. find several need physical proximity operate: employed Italy whose index is above national average are more than 6.5 million (most them retail trade). Groups at risk complications (mainly male age 50) work little exposed proximity,...
Emigration of young, highly educated individuals may deprive origin countries entrepreneurs. We identify exogenous variation in emigration from Italy by interacting past diaspora networks and current economic pull factors destination countries. find that a 1 standard deviation increase the rate generates 4.8 percent decline firms' creation local labor market origin. An accounting exercise decomposes estimated effect into four components: subtraction with average entrepreneurial propensity,...
This paper introduces innovative, newly developed forward-looking indicators of negotiated wage growth in the euro area using data on collective bargaining agreements from seven countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Austria and Greece. The demonstrates how agreement-level can be used to study drivers aggregate growth, as well monitor breadth increases account for time-varying factors such one-off payments, when assessing pressures. Lastly, shows that new provide reliable...
The digitalisation workstream report analyses the degree of digital adoption across euro area and EU countries implications for measurement, productivity, labour markets inflation, as well more recent developments during coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic their implications. Analysis these key issues variables is aimed at improving our understanding monetary policy its transmission. differs area/EU, implying heterogeneous impacts, with most economies currently lagging behind United States...
Abstract Recent technological changes have been characterized as “routine‐substituting” because they reduce demand for routine tasks and increase analytical service tasks. Little is known about how these impacted immigration, or task specialization between immigrants native‐born individuals. In this paper, we show that such progress has attracted who increasingly specialize in manual‐service occupations. We also suggest openness to immigration attenuated the job wage polarization faced by...
Abstract This paper proposes a new classification of occupations based on the extent to which they put workers at risk being infected by aerial-transmitted viruses. We expand previous work that mainly focused identification jobs can be done from home providing more nuanced view infection risks: in particular, we identify that, although impossible home, expose low infection. Jobs cannot and present high are labelled ‘unsafe jobs’. then combine our with list ‘essential occupations’ have been...
The paper discusses the role of labour in transition to a net zero economy and provides an analysis for Italy over period 2011-2021. First, we observe that emissions generated from production activities declined this period. We estimate contribution employment reallocation across sectors was modest, while sectoral efficiency – particularly shift energy mix towards cleaner sources decisive. Second, show share environmental goods services sector small 2020 has remained broadly stable since...
This paper analyses several dimensions of workers' safety that are relevant in the context a pandemic. We provide classification occupations according to risk contagion: by considering wider range job characteristics and more nuanced assessment infection risk, we expand on previous literature almost exclusively looked at feasibility working from home. apply our United States European countries find roughly 50% jobs sample can be considered safe, although large cross-country variation exists,...
We study how local labor demand shocks affect internal migration using the universe of market flows for Italy. First, we document two novel facts: i) large and systematic differences between gross net job arise both across space over time; ii) each flow is an important driver growth rates. estimate causal impact different-sign on as instrumental variable plausibly exogenous mass hire layoffs events. Our estimates reveal that creation has a strong effect in-migration rate, whereas destruction...

The Great Recession did not only affect European countries to a varying extent, its impact on national labour markets and specific socio-economic groups in those also varied greatly. Institutional arrangements such as employment protection, unemployment insurance benefits minimum income support, working time flexibility wage setting played crucial role determining what extent the economic crisis led higher unemployment, cuts or losses rising poverty. As gained momentum, action of automatic...
