Abstract: This thesis consists of three empirical essays that contribute to the literature on political economy and on labor economics. The first chapter analyzes how the effects of changes in the decree of fiscal federalism and mafia penetration on the composition of public expenditure at the municipal level depends on ex-ante institutional quality. The second chapter focus on the definition of the middle class using the asset based approach and studies how, according to this definition, income and wealth components distribute across classes over time. The third chapter, instead, studies how labor market flexibilisation affected workers well-being at entry and during the early career. All three essays are based on Italy to shed light on three topics widely discussed both at the academic and policy level.

Keywords: Decentralization; Institutional quality; Labor market flexibilization; Personal income; Wealth; Political economy; Labour economics; Décentralisation; Qualité des institutions; Flexibilisation du marché du travail; Revenu personnel; Richesse; Économie politique; Économie du travail (search for similar items in EconPapers)
