Testo italiano
Come espresso nel modello A, il processo di cambiamento strutturale di un sistemo economico, in generale, coinvolge svariate dimensioni. L'unità di Napoli considererà la dimensione spaziale. Le determinanti della distribuzione spaziale delle attività economiche sono il nucleo della Nuova Geografia Economica (NEG), proposta da Krugman (1991a, 1991b), Krugman e Venables (1995) e Venables (1996). I modelli NEG descrivono economie multiregionali (o multinazionali) e multisettoriali nelle quali almeno un settore è caratterizzato da condizioni di concorrenza imperfetta, rendimenti crescenti e differenziazione merceologica. Gli aspetti geografici, economici e istituzionali modellano il paesaggio economico, ovvero la tipologia e la cardinalità degli equilibri. Una variazione parametrica che coinvolga una di queste dimensioni attiva forze agglomerative e dispersive che possono spostare l'economia verso un nuovo equilibrio. Il nuovo stato potrà essere caratterizzato da una distribuzione tra le localizzazione del lavoro o degli altri fattori mobili radicalmente differente e da una modifica della composizione settoriale intraregionale.
I modelli standard della NEG sono di sovente criticati a causa di alcune assunzioni poco plausibili:
a) il numero limitato delle localizzazioni, che spesso si riduce a due;
b) la neutralità dello spazio, nel senso che localizzazioni alternative sono posizionate alla stessa distanza una dall'altra oppure lungo una circonferenza (c.d. racetrack economy);
c) la simmetria delle regioni, ovvero l'omogeneità in termini di dotazioni di fattori non mobili, tecnologie produttive, preferenze, ecc.;
d) l'omogeneità delle imprese.
Nonostante queste limitazioni, l'approccio della NEG fornisce un quadro teorico utile e coerente per lo studio dell'efficacia delle politiche economiche regionali, sovraregionali e sovranazionali che mirino a ridurre gli squilibri regionali e a rinforzare la crescita economica. Vari contributi recenti hanno studiato differenti tipologie di interventi, come per esempio la spesa pubblica, incentivi agli investimenti, regimi fiscali, infrastrutture e, in generale, la fornitura di servizi produttivi. I risultati principali di questa letteratura sono:
- Nei modelli con due regioni e livelli di sviluppo differenziati: gli investimenti pubblici in infrastrutture di trasporto nella regione più arretrata favoriscono la localizzazione delle imprese nella stessa regione in caso di miglioramenti dell'infrastruttura infraregionale, mentre producono fughe di imprese verso la regione più avanzata in presenza di miglioramenti delle infrastrutture interregionali (Martin & Rogers, 1995);
- I sussidi alle imprese situate nelle regioni meno avanzate possono dar luogo, in determinate circostanze, a effetti perversi. Un sussidio diretto alle imprese situate in una regione arretrata può accentuare l'ineguaglianza nella distribuzione del reddito tra le regioni quando le maggioranza dei proprietari che decidono di spostarsi sono situati nella regione sviluppata. La redistribuzione dalla regione povera a quella ricca tende ad acuirsi in funzione diretta della percentuale del trasferimento finanziato dalla regione povera (Forslid, 2003; Dupont & Martin, 2006);
- Gli acquisti pubblici di manufatti prodotti localmente possono bilanciare la crescita degli squilibri regionali indotti dall'integrazione economica. Tuttavia, questo risultato dipende dalle scelte di finanziamento e dalla composizione della spesa pubblica (Trionfetti 1997, 2001; Commendatore & Kubin, 2006, 2007).
- In presenza di processi agglomerativi, la competizione fiscale tra regioni non comporta necessariamente il risultato noto come "gara al ribasso". Le regioni con un settore industriale agglomerato posseggono un vantaggio su quelle meno industrializzate. Questo vantaggio risiede in una "rendita di agglomerazione" che permette l'imposizione di alte aliquote fiscali locali senza la perdita di attività industriali. Di conseguenza, la competizione fiscale diventa inefficace nelle regioni meno avanzate (Baldwin e Krugman, 2004; Commendatore, Currie e Kubin, 2008). La concorrenza fiscale può anche coinvolgere la fornitura di beni pubblici locali (Ihara, 2008; Fenge et al, 2009; Dembour & Wauthy, 2009).
- Diversamente dalla spesa pubblica per consumi, la spesa pubblica produttiva (come quella in R&S, innovazione, istruzione, infrastrutture) può migliorare la capacità delle regioni di attrarre imprese (Brakman et al, 2008). Conseguentemente, la capacità fiscale ha un ruolo chiave perché: (i) i governi possono devolvere meno risorse per questi scopi nelle regioni arretrate (II) una crescita anomala della tassazione locale necessaria a finanziare la spesa pubblica può contrastare gli effetti positivi sulla produttività delel imprese. Commendatore, Kubin e Petraglia (2008, 2009, 2010) hanno dimostrato che esiste una soglia di là dalla quale l'effetto positivo sulla produttività viene annullato dagli effetti negativi sulla domanda dovuti alla tassazione. Questa soglia può essere rimossa se la spesa pubblica viene finanziata parzialmente anche dalle regioni avanzate.
- Laddove la prossimità geografica tra le imprese promuove la diffusione di conoscenze e migliora l'efficienza produttiva, la redistribuzione geografica delle attività industriali può indurre un decremento del benessere e della crescita economica (Baldwin e Forslid, 2000, Baldwin e Martin, 2004).
L'introduzione di processi di crescita nei modelli NEG richiede una considerazione della dinamica lungo due dimensioni: quella temporale e quella spaziale. La prima riguarda l'espansione nel tempo dell'economia nel suo complesso, mentre la seconda riguarda la mobilità dei fattori nello spazio. Sino ad ora, questo avanzamento metodologico si è giovato dei modelli di Grossman-Helpman (1991) e Romer (1990), abbandonando il tradizionale schema statico dei modelli NEG riguardo alla distribuzione spaziale di uno stock dato di risorse. L'interesse principale di questa seconda generazione di modelli – i cosiddetti modelli NEGG – consiste nell'analisi formale del legame tra commercio e crescita (Martin e Ottaviano, 1999; Baldwin et al., 2001; Fujita e Thisse, 2002; e, per una rassegna, Baldwin e Martin, 2004).
Più in generale, questi progressi hanno permesso il passaggio da uno schema analitico con struttura fissa (analisi di breve periodo) in termini sia di composizione settoriale e di scambi internazionali a una nuovo generazione di modelli centrati sul cambiamento strutturale in termini di commercio e flussi di capitale e sull'influenza di questi sul progresso economico. Il cambiamento strutturale deriva essenzialmente dal mutamento tecnologico e, in questa prospettiva, l'innovazione e la diffusione spaziale della conoscenza riveste un ruolo fondamentale. Per esempio, Baldwin et al. (2001) introducono un meccanismo di crescita endogena (Romer, 1990) in un modello centro-periferia utilizzando esternalità informative localizzate che producono economie di scala locali. Dato che il costo dell'innovazione è minimizzato quando il settore manufatturiero è agglomerato in un'unica regione, il loro modello evidenzia la stretta connessione tra la geografia – intesa in termini di localizzazione delle imprese – e la crescita. In particolare, il tasso di crescita dipende dall'accresciuto incentivo a investire in capitale nella regione con la maggiore concentrazione di imprese manufatturiere. Gli autori, inoltre, forniscono un'interpretazione della crescita economica in termini di libertà di commercio. Secondo Desmet e Rossi-Hansberg (2010), il contributo della NEGG migliora la comprensione delle forze comuni che determinano la crescita e l'agglomerazione, mentre le previsioni sul comportamento spaziale non sono particolarmente rilevanti. In particolare, questi autori sostengono che i modelli NEGG sono lontani dal produrre predizioni robuste a causa dell'assunzione di poche localizzazioni, il che limita la possibilità di stime empiriche.
Testo inglese
As mentioned in the scientific backgroud of form A, the process of Structural Change of an economic system, in a broad sense, involves several dimensions. The Unit of Naples will consider the spatial dimension. The determinants of the spatial distribution of economic activity are at the core of the New Economic Geography (NEG) approach, put forward by Krugman (1991a, 1991b), Krugman & Venables (1995) and Venables (1996). NEG models describe multi-regional (or multi-national) and multi-sectoral economies in which at least one sector is characterised by imperfect competition, increasing returns and product differentiation. Geographical, economic and institutional aspects shape the economic landscape, i. e. the nature and the number of equilibria. A parametric change, involving one of these features, activates agglomeration and dispersion forces that may disrupt an initial equilibrium moving the economy towards a new equilbrium. The new state can be characterised by a radically different distribution of labour (or other mobile inputs) across locations and by a change in the sectoral composition within regions.
Standard NEG models are often criticized because of their simplifying assumptions, namely:
a) the small number of locations, that often reduces at two;
b) the neutrality of space, in the sense that multiple locations are positioned at the same distance from each other or along a circle (racetrack economy);
c) the symmetry of regions (i.e. regions are homogeneous in terms of endowments of non-mobile factors of production, production technologies, consumers' preferences, etc.);
d) the homogeneity of firms.
These limitations notwithstanding, the NEG approach provides a very useful and consistent framework to assess the effectiveness of regional, sovra-regional or sovra-national economic policies aiming to reduce regional unbalances and enhance growth.
Several contributions have recently focused on the effects on industrial location and regional inequalities brought about by different types of public intervention, such as public consumption, investment subsidies, tax regimes, tax competition, infrastructures and, in general, the provision of productive services. The main results obtained within the literature on policy issues in NEG models are:
- In models with two regions and different levels of development: public investment in transportation infrastructure in the less advanced region encourages business location in the same region in the case of intra-regional infrastructure improvements, while inducing leakage of business to the more advanced region in the presence of inter-regional infrastructure improvements (Martin & Rogers, 1995);
- Subsidies to enterprises located in disadvantaged regions may, in some circumstances, produce perverse effects. A subsidy directed at firms located in a less developed region may exacerbate the unequal distribution of income across regions when the majority of the business owners that decide to move are located in the developed region. The redistribution from the poor to the rich region becomes larger and larger as the portion of the grant funded by the poor region increases (Forslid, 2003; Dupont & Martin, 2006);
- Public purchases of manufactured goods produced locally may counterbalance the increase in regional imbalances induced by economic integration. However, this result is very sensitive to financing choices and to the composition of public expenditure (Trionfetti 1997, 2001; Commendatore & Kubin, 2006, 2007).
- In the presence of agglomeration tendencies of the production activity, tax competition between regions does not necessarily lead to the traditional result known in the literature on capital taxation as "race to the bottom". Regions with an agglomerated industrial sector have an advantage over less industrialised ones. This advantage is embodied in a "rent from agglomeration" which allows the setting of higher local tax rates without losing industrial activity. Consequently, tax competition becomes ineffective in less advanced regions (Baldwin & Krugman, 2004; Commendatore, Currie and Kubin, 2008). Competition may also involve the provision of local public goods (Ihara, 2008; Fenge et al, 2009; Dembour & Wauthy, 2009).
- Unlike public consumption, productive public spending (like public expenditure in research and development, innovation and education, transportation and communication infrastructures) can increase the capacity of a region to attract firms (Brakman et al, 2008). With this respect, fiscal capacity plays a central role for two reasons (i) governments can devote less resources to this purposes in poorer regions (ii) an abnormal increase in local taxation needed to finance public spending can counteract the positive effect on business productivity. Commendatore, Kubin & Petraglia (2008, 2009, 2010) have shown that there is a threshold beyond which the positive "productivity" effect induced by productive public expenditure is counterbalanced by the negative "demand-linked" effect induced by taxation. This threshold can be removed if public expenditure is at least partly funded by the richer regions.
- Where the geographical proximity between firms promotes the spatial dissemination of knowledge and improve production efficiency, the geographical redistribution of industrial activity across regions may reduce global welfare and growth (Baldwin & Forslid, 2000, Baldwin & Martin, 2004).
The introduction of growth and development processes in NEG models requires a consideration of dynamics along two dimensions: temporal and spatial. The former concerns the expansion of the overall economy over time, the latter relates to the mobility of factors across space. So far, such an analytical advance has been pursued by exploiting the features of endogenous growth models of the Grossman-Helpman (1991) and Romer (1990) types, abandoning the focus of previous static NEG models on the spatial distribution of a fixed stock of resources. The main interest of this second generation of NEG models – so called NEGG models – is the formal analysis of the trade-growth link (Martin & Ottaviano, 1999; Baldwin et al., 2001; Fujita & Thisse, 2002; and, for a review, Baldwin & Martin, 2004).
In general, this advance has allowed to move from a framework of analysis with a "given" structure (i.e. short-run analysis) in terms of both internal economies' sectoral compositions and international interactions, to a new set of models focused on structural change in terms of trade and capital flows, as well as in their link to economic development. Structural change is ultimately resulting from technological change and, in this respect, innovation and spatial diffusion of knowledge play a fundamental role.
For instance, Baldwin et al. (2001) add endogenous growth (Romer, 1990) in a core periphery framework by introducing localized knowledge spillovers which induce local scale effects. Provided that the cost of innovation is minimized when the manufacturing sector is agglomerated in one region, their model highlights the strict connection between geography – in terms of firms' location – and growth. In particular, the growth rate is driven by the higher incentive to invest in new units of capital in the region with the higher concentration of manufacturing firms. Based on their theoretical model, the authors also provide explanations of four industrial revolution stages of growth in term of freedom of trade. According to Desmet & Rossi-Hansberg (2010), the contribution given by NEGG models is relevant, as they enhance our understanding of the common forces underlying growth and agglomeration, while their predictions on spatial behaviour are not remarkable. In particular, they claim that NEGG models are far from providing robust predictions due to the assumption of a small number of locations, which results in a severe limitation in empirical estimation.
