Abstract

Integrazione europea e localizzazione industriale: uno studio sulle regioni del Mezzogiorno italiano (di Domenico Scalera) - ABSTRACT: In this paper, the evolution of the industrial structure in the regions of the Italian Mez-zogiorno during the last three decades is studied. In particular, in order to highlight the con-nection between regional specialization and the increasing European integration, the dynamics in the relative weight of manufacturing sectors are analysed. I find that integration leads Southern Italy to become more similar to the rest of Italy in terms of distribution of manufacturing activities. This result seems to support the optimistic view about the effects of integration on peripheral economies. However it may be partially due to the process of delo-calisation driven by lower wages, which directs specific low value added stages of produc-tion to Mezzogiorno. In this model of specialization, firms of Southern Italy would be again called to survive by merely reducing costs rather than encouraged to start a real process of development.
