Abstract

When the crisis hit the world economy at the beginning of 2008, it was clear to both analysts and governments that a collapse of the automotive industry might have a terrific impact on the whole economy, with significant social consequences. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the USA between 2008 and 2009 about 50,000 jobs were lost at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and 125,000 jobs at suppliers (source: http://www.bls.gov /ces/). Similar figures apply to Europe where overall, between 2008 and 2009, around 130,000 jobs were lost (Volpato and Zirpoli, 2011).
