And last but not least-enjoyed @l_incoronato #JMP on the effects of a large place-based industrial policy (PBIP) aimed at establishing industrial clusters in #Italy in the 1960s and 1970s - v interesting and so good to see my beloved #South on the slide 🇮🇹

❌BUT, where PBIP is implemented matters. Only short-lived effects in places with poor market access and low agglomeration pre-policy 👉impact of PBIP depends on initial conditions in targeted areas (9/10)

🤔Possible channels? 1⃣Structure of the economy: more workers in industry 👉demand protection from the state 2⃣Selective migration at the border 3⃣Shifting individual attitudes towards role of the state, preferences for redistribution, luck vs effort

Results: i) manuf employment📈during IDA years... but effect stabilizes as IDAs phased out ii) spillovers to non-tradable services during IDA years, via local multipliers iii) services continue to📈, esp. knowledge-intensive ➡️consistent with agglomeration economies (5/10)

Established finding in political economy: transfers 📈boost votes for the incumbent government... 👉We ask: do communities that received transfers in the past still support welfare policies and redistribution... ... regardless of which party proposes them?

📐Measuring voters’ support for state intervention: combine party-level scores (from Manifesto Project) with municipal vote shares at national elections 💡Identification: spatial RD at the policy border

📈Debate on place-based and local development policies has intensified 🚨We stress that these interventions can have lasting, unintended consequences on voting outcomes Thanks for reading! Comments most welcome

⚙️Classic channels?❌Not at play here: 1⃣ Rewarding the incumbent: government party promoting CasMez disappeared in early 1990s 2⃣ Different economic conditions: no long-run effect of the policy on local employment and income

⬆️Stronger support for pro-state parties in post-Casmez elections in treated areas ⭐️Effect largest in 2013: 1st time 5-Star Movement called for Reddito di Cittadinanza (basic income)👉elicited voters’ views on state intervention ❌Check: not capturing populist attitudes

There is intense debate on PBIP. This is the first study documenting a virtuous cycle led by services - typically not target of industrial policy - and especially knowledge-intensive jobs 👉key policy implications, and ground for exciting future research! (10/10)

PBIPs assisting left-behind areas have📈in recent years, aiming to create industrial clusters and foster local development... ❌but scarce evidence on long-run effects of PBIPs due to limited data and identification issues (1/10)

More results: i) some displacement of employment from nearby areas while PBIP is in place, but not after its termination ii) long-run cost per job ~$30k iii) benefits of PBIP outweigh the costs (8/10)
