We provide evidence on the role of spillovers through vertical linkages in service firms' internationalisation process. We combine input-output coefficients with region-level information on downstream manufacturing sector exports to build... more
The aim of this paper is to empirically evaluate the relative effects of international outsourcing of materials and services and of ICT capital deepening on wage inequality between blue and white collars in the Italian manufacturing... more
This paper estimates the effect of international outsourcing of materials and services on productivity in Italian manufacturing sectors during the period 1985-1997. Three different measures of outsourcing are used. Firstly, a narrow... more
We study the relationship between offshoring and job stability in Italy in the period 1995-2001 by using an administrative dataset on manufacturing workers. We find that the international fragmentation of production negatively affects job... more
Making use of a large panel dataset on Italian manufacturing firms, we provide evidence on the effect of imports on the firm export performance. We distinguish imports of intermediates according to their origin and we find that inputs... more
The aim of this paper is to empirically evaluate the relative effects of international outsourcing of materials and services and of ICT capital deepening on wage inequality between blue and white collars in the Italian manufacturing... more
We provide evidence on backward linkages between downstream manufacturing sectors and the export performance of Italian business service firms. Combining input-output coefficients from the National Accounts with regionlevel information on... more

A production-theory approach to migration is adopted in this paper to address the role of migrant workers from extra-EU countries in Italian manufacturing production at the firm-level. The use of flexible functional forms to model... more
The aim of this paper is to empirically evaluate the impact of international outsourcing of materials and services and of R&D expenditures on wages of skilled and unskilled workers in Italian industry during the period 1985 − 1997,... more
This study aims at evaluating the relation between South-South trade agreements, location of production and inequality in Latin American RTAs. Following Sanguinetti et al. and , an empirical model will be estimated to check whether... more
We analyse the consequences of trade integration in Europe (1995–2005) detecting how the labour costs in partner countries affect the domestic demand for high- and low-skilled labour in ‘Old’ (EU-15) and five ‘New’ EU member states. In... more
We propose a study on the interdependence among EU member states, focusing on their labor markets over the period 1995-2005. Increased accessibility of detailed sector level labor statistics allows us to consider trade based linkages and... more
This paper proposes an empirical assessment of economic interactions between the labour markets of the integrating EU over the period of time 1995-2005. Drawing on recently made available industry statistics, we provide a sector level... more
We propose a study on the interdependence between 'Old' and 'New' member states, focusing on the labor markets of the enlarged EU over the period 1995-2005. Increased accessibility of detailed sector level labor statistics allows us to... more
