Come e perché potenziare la pubblica amministrazione italiana
The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) to highlight the macroeconomic benefits of strengthening public administration, with particular reference to the provision of welfare goods and services; and (ii) to propose finding resources for its financing through the rationalization of the system of tax incentives provided to the private sector, in view of the main findings of the available empirical evidence attesting to their ineffectiveness with regard to employment impacts and their redistributive effects to the detriment of wage labor and the South.
