Abstract

This paper analyses the differential impact of several territorial determinants of the economic performance of Italian provinces (NUTS 3 level). as measured by per capita GDP, export and employment growth from 1999 to 2014. It covers both the pre‐crisis and the crisis period and stresses the role of geographical proximity in shaping local performance over a wide set of explanatory variables. In order to do so, we employ, firstly, a spatial Durbin model which enables us to discriminate between direct and indirect effects and to highlight the possible contagion or crowding‐out spatial effects for each territorial dimension affecting growth. Then, we extend the analysis by allowing for the possibility of two regimes (pre‐crisis and post‐crisis). The performance of the provinces before and during the crisis relates to specific territorial components and geographic proximity appears to influence differently the results and their interpretation. Este artículo analiza el impacto diferencial de varios determinantes territoriales del desempeño económico de las provincias italianas (nivel NUTS 3), medidos por el PIB per cápita y el crecimiento de las exportaciones y del empleo entre 1999 y 2014. El estudio abarca tanto el período anterior a la crisis como el período de crisis y hace hincapié en el papel de la proximidad geográfica en la configuración del desempeño local mediante un amplio conjunto de variables explicativas. Para ello se emplea en primer lugar un modelo espacial de Durbin, que permite discriminar entre efectos directos e indirectos y poner de relieve los posibles efectos de contagio o de desplazamiento espacial para cada dimensión territorial que afecta al crecimiento. A continuación se amplia el análisis, permitiendo la posibilidad de dos regímenes (pre‐crisis y post‐crisis). El desempeño de las provincias antes y durante la crisis se relaciona con componentes territoriales específicos y la proximidad geográfica parece influir de manera diferente en los resultados y en su interpretación. 本稿では、1999年~2014年の一人当たりGDP、輸出、雇用の増加で測定したイタリアの (NUT3レベルの)県 (province)の経済動向の、地域的な決定因子の変動的なインパクトを分析する。経済危機前と経済危機の期間の両方を分析し、地域の動向を広範な説明変数のセットで形成する際の地理的近接性の役割を強調する。そのため、はじめに直接的な効果と間接的な効果を区別し、コンテイジョンの可能性、または成長に影響するそれぞれの地域ディメンションに対する空間的なクラウディングアウト効果を強調させることができる、空間ダービンモデルを使用する。次に、2つのレジーム(危機前と危機後)の可能性を考慮に入れて分析を拡大する。危機の前と危機の間の県の経済動向は地域の特定の構成要素に関連し、地理的近接性は結果とその解釈に様々な影響を与えると考えられる。
