Abstract

Il paper propone una stima del ruolo economico del sistema cooperativo in provincia di Trento che tiene conto non solo del contributo diretto alla produzione di reddito, ma anche della produzione e dell occupazione attivate in imprese diverse da quelle cooperative. Oltre al valutare l'impatto diretto del sottosistema delle imprese cooperative, il paper introduce nuove misure del valore creato, guardando sia all'impatto indiretto che all'impatto indotto, dove il primo stima la produzione non cooperativa impiegata direttamente nel processo produttivo cooperativo e cio l impatto dovuto all acquisto di beni e servizi da imprese non cooperative, mentre il secondo stima l output non cooperativo derivato dall impiego, per consumi finali di beni e servizi non cooperativi, dei redditi diretti e indiretti generati dalla produzione cooperativa. Utilizzando l analisi input/output e la costruzione di una matrice satellite per quantificare le tre tipologie di impatto, e dati riferiti all economia trentina per l anno 2005, il paper mette in evidenza un sistema cooperativo ben consolidato, costituito da 623 imprese e 229mila soci, per un patrimonio complessivo netto di 2 miliardi di euro e con un valore totale della produzione pari a 3.248,9 milioni di euro. Il paper entra nel dettaglio di questi e di ulteriori valori, estrapolando indicatori dell'impatto indiretto ed indotto e giunge a concludere che nonostante le cooperative rappresentino solamente l 1% del totale delle imprese attive in provincia di Trento, la loro capacit di generare valore, reddito e occupazione raggiunge livelli decisamente elevati: il 13% di produzione e valore aggiunto e il 15% di occupati. Si conferma quindi che la presenza di una rete di imprese radicate nel territorio riesce, facendo sistema , a contribuire in modo assolutamente significativo alla generazione di benessere, stabilit e crescita.******** (The economic impact of cooperation in the Province of Trento The paper evaluates the economic role of the cooperative system in the province of Trento, Italy. The originality of the paper consists in the approach followed: it takes into account not only the direct value of the production of cooperatives, but also the indirect and induced value generated by the system. The indirect value is calculated as the non-cooperative production used as inputs by the cooperative system; the induced value is calculated as the non-cooperative outcome that is however generated by direct and indirect incomes gathered by the cooperative system. The paper introduces an input-output analysis and reproduces a satellite matrix in order to quantify the three types of impact. By using economic data from the Province of Trento from 2005, it comes to individuate a well-developed and consolidated cooperative system, involving 623 firms and 229 thousand members, with a total capital of 2 billion Euros and a production value equal to 3,259 billion Euros. The paper studies these and other values in depth and extracts some specific indexes for the evaluation of indirect and induced impacts. It concludes that, while cooperatives in the Province of Trento represent just 1% of the total number of local firms, they generate 13% of the total value of production and account for 15% of local employment. The presence of a system of organizations that are well-rooted in the local environment significantly contributes to the production of well-being, stability, and growth of the local economy.)
