Abstract

Il saggio analizza i principali risultati nella ricostruzione del pil delle regioni italiane e da conto dell?interpretazione sull?andamento dei divari che ne risulta. Le piu aggiornate stime del pil regionale, per intervalli decennali dal 1871 al 1951, ai confini storici e attuali, vengono presentate e discusse: queste consentono di testare modelli di convergenza condizionale, con dati sezionali, che indicano la presenza di effetti fissi negativi sulla crescita delle regioni meridionali. Piu che a fattori geografici o di mercato, gli effetti fissi sembrano riconducibili a una difformita nelle condizioni sociali e istituzionali. In futuro la realizzazione di stime storiche del pil provinciale, per l?eta liberale e fra le due guerre, potra consentire di verificare in maniera piu approfondita, ed eventualmente di perfezionare, il modello interpretativo proposto.
