1. Surnames in Local Newspapers and Social Mobility

abstract

We study social mobility by exploiting a newly collected dataset of the surnames contained in local newspapers during almost a century in the Italian Province of Modena (NUTS-3 level). Under the hypothesis that the surnames that appear in the newspapers have a particular social relevance, changes in the distribution of the surnames over time allow to identify phases of greater or lower social change. The results show that the periods of greatest change have been the years of transition between democracy and the fascist regime and vice versa, and the 1980s. Regression towards the mean in the relative importance of surnames over long time spans is also observed. This kind of analysis can be fruitfully replicated at the national level and could also help in identifying different mobility patterns at local levels when income data are not available

3. Pension expectations and reality : what do Italian workers know about their future public pension benefits?

abstract

We use 6 waves of the Bank of Italy's Survey on household income and wealth (SHIW) to check the evolution of workers' expectations on future pension benefits and retirement age from 2000 to 2012. Based on these two subjective evaluations, we compute a measure of expected pension benefit and compare it with a "true" measure of the same variable that we estimate on the basis of the pension rules in each year of the considered time lapse. By comparing subjective and "true" measures of the variable, we are able to measure the evolution over time of the "expectation error" and its distribution among different economic and demographic subsets of the population. Finally, we estimate a subjective measure of social security wealth and the degree of substitution between this variable and the private net worth of workers' households, in order to quantify the effects of pension reforms approved in the period considered on wealth accumulation.

6. The Impact of REI on Italian Households’ Income : A Micro and Macro Evaluation

abstract

In 2017, Italy's government introduced a minimum income scheme, the so-called Income inclusion programme (REI, Reddito di inclusione). REI is a selective, means-tested and conditional scheme that aims at supporting incomes of those more in need. Its structure was recently modified to reach a larger percentage of the poor. In this paper, we simulate the impact of REI on household incomes and evaluate its effects with respect to poverty alleviation and inequality reduction. The analysis is based on the 2015 wave of IT-SILC, the Italian module of European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions. Our results show that, under full take-up, REI will reach 45.8% of households in absolute poverty and 22.5% of those in relative poverty. However, it has a mild impact on the incidence of both types of poverty, while it is more successful in reducing their intensity. We also estimate that REI would contribute to raising GDP by 0.14 percentage points through an increase in private consumption
