Public Expenditure and Human Development in the Italian Regions

Michele Capriati

QA - Rivista dell'Associazione Rossi-Doria, 2011, issue 2

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the relationship between public expenditure and human development in Italy’s administrative Regions. The main results show a geography of regional human development which is different from the one based on Gdp per capita. Convergence of wealth across the Regions appears for the period considered, although of a minor intensity. Regional human development seems to have close positive correlation with social security, the environment and human capital, while transfers in capital account for productive activities seem to have a negative impact.
