Coesione ed egoismo territoriale. La distribuzione della spesa pubblica tra regioni italiane

Abstract

La lettura dei dati sulla spesa pubblica territorializzata ha dato luogo da tempo una diatriba dovuta anche a fonti statistiche inconciliabili (CPT vs RGS ed ISTAT). Nei dati contabili della Ragioneria di Stato, inclusivi anche della spesa indiretta degli enti, la spesa pubblica ? poco differenziata territorialmente tra Centro-Nord e Mezzogiorno. Fanno una differenza le regioni a statuto speciale con minoranze linguistiche e la regione della Capitale. Depurando dall?effetto delle regioni anomale e della spesa per le sole prestazioni pensionistiche da contributi, la spesa risulta maggiore nel Mezzogiorno. Nelle statistiche dei Conti pubblici Territoriali, che mostrano gravi problemi di coerenza con le fonti statistiche nazionali, applicando le due correzioni dette, la differenza diverrebbe non significativa. Le regioni piccole ricevono trasferimenti pi? importanti sia al Sud che al Centro-Nord. In alcuni contesti territoriali la distribuzione di risorse pubbliche in rapporto al PIL ? tale da mettere in dubbio la permanenza di incentivi corretti a lavorare nel settore privato, e genera importanti incentivi di rent-seeking.
