    Employment effects of temperature shocks and the role of occupational heat stress
    (2024-04-18) Biagetti, Marco; Intraligi, Valerio
    Based on a recent study published by Inapp, the presentation provides analyses starting from two main research questions: Can we ascertain a negative temperature impact on local employment rates in advanced mediterranean economy like Italy? Can we relate ours results to occupational heat stress?

    Employment effects of temperature shocks in Italy and the role of occupational heat stress
    (Inapp, 2024-03-19) Biagetti, Marco; Intraligi, Valerio
    We assess the employment impact of temperature shocks in Italy by taking into consideration the role of occupational heat stress. Combining labor-market survey data with ground-station gridded weather information, we run non-linear panel fixed-effects regression models over 2011-2019 and estimate around half percentage-point contraction in provinces’ employment rates for a two Celsius degrees shock in average quarterly temperatures. This effect doubles in magnitude for provinces in coastal and southern climatic zones. By exploiting narrowly-defined 4-digit occupation survey information, we show that our results are significantly driven by individuals previously-employed in occupations relatively more exposed to extreme temperatures. This subset of non-employed significantly accrues to the private service sector and is equally split between unemployment and inactivity.

    Job polarization in Italy: structural change and routinization
    (2021-12-28) Intraligi, Valerio; Ricci, Andrea; Vittori, Claudia
    Questo lavoro prende in esame il cambiamento strutturale e la routinization hypothesis quali spiegazioni alternative per la polarizzazione delle occupazioni in Italia nel periodo 2004-2019. Si osserva che, malgrado il cambiamento strutturale in Italia sia caratterizzato dalla pronunciata contrazione del settore a più alta intensità di ‘routine-jobs’ – ossia il comparto manifatturiero – la progressiva scomparsa delle professioni di tipo routine è un fenomeno generalizzato che sta interessando trasversalmente tutti i settori dell’economia. Infatti, attraverso una scomposizione standard di tipo shift-share si osserva che la contrazione dell’occupazione nelle professioni routine in Italia è da attribuirsi solo marginalmente al cambiamento strutturale e al declino della manifattura. Si evidenziano invece risultati robusti a favore dell’argomentazione tecnologica attraverso stime OLS e 2LS. In particolare, sfruttando variazioni a livello di settore-provincia, i nostri risultati indicano che la specializzazione in mansioni di tipo routine aumenta significativamente la domanda relativa di professioni a bassa qualifica e basso salario per circa il 90 per cento dell’occupazione nell’economia privata Italiana del settore non agricolo.

    Low-skill jobs and routine tasks specialization: new insights from Italian provinces
    (2019-05-29) Brunetti, Irene; Cirillo, Valeria; Intraligi, Valerio; Ricci, Andrea
    Though the past decades Italy showed a lag in innovation, the 2000’s technology may have started spreading some effect on the occupational composition of employment. Past researches did not find evidence of skill-biased change. Since no paper so far ever addressed the topic of "routinazation" (and its link with labor market polarization) in Italy, this presentation analyses the period 2004-2016 assessing the routinisation hypothesis for the Italian labor market.

    Low-skill jobs and routine tasks specialization: new insights from Italian provinces
    (2019-02-07) Brunetti, Irene; Cirillo, Valeria; Intraligi, Valerio; Ricci, Andrea
    This paper analyzes the relation between specialization in routine tasks and the growth of low-skill jobs in Italian provinces. At this aim we use data of the Labour Force Survey (RCFL-ISTAT) integrated with information about the Italian provinces’ specialization in routine tasks derived from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET). Following the empirical strategy proposed by Autor and Dorn (2013), we find the following results. First, in the period between 2004 and 2017, the routine tasks specialization leads to a significant increase in the growth of low-skill/low-wage occupations at province level. Second, if we focus on university-educated workers, the impact of provinces’ specialization in routine tasks on the growth of low-skill/low wage jobs slightly increases. This result suggests that the local employment specialization in routine tasks might be also associated with increasing over-education patterns in Italy. Finally, our findings are robust to an econometric strategy that controls for endogeneity issues.

    Peer interactions, local markets, and wages: Evidence from Italy
    (Inapp, 2023-03-28) Brunetti, Irene; Intraligi, Valerio; Ricci, Andrea; Vittori, Claudia
    This paper investigates the relationship between the spatial distribution of occupations with a high content of peer interactions and wages among Italian provinces. At this aim, we use a unique employer-employee dataset obtained by merging administrative data on wages and labor market histories of individuals, with survey data on job tasks and contents. The spatial distribution of jobs intensive in peer-interactions is further measured according to the occupational structure of Italian provinces. The econometric analysis shows that the concentration of peer interactions leads to higher wages at the province level. These results are robust to firms and workers’ heterogeneity and endogeneity issues.
