Abstract

The conference on the impact of the crisis on production potential and household spending in Italy was held in Rome on 5 December 2014. During the conference the results were presented of a research project led by a group of economists from the Bank�s Directorate General for Economics, Statistics and Research. The studies presented document the impact of the crisis on some important macroeconomic variables and verify to what extent these effects have also led to structural changes in the behaviour of households and firms.
