Non-profit sector and regional well-being in Italy
用多维福祉指标,对意大利106个省份做横截面计量分析,发现非营利部门通过生产关系性商品推动区域福祉,结果稳健。
This paper investigates the link between the non-profit sector and regional well-being, conceiving and measuring the latter following a multidimensional approach that considers several factors affecting the quality of life of populations. A cross-sectional econometric analysis conducted on a sample of 106 Italian provinces shows findings robust to several specifications and scenarios consistent with our hypothesis that the non-profit sector constitutes, thanks to its key ability to produce relational goods, a driver of regional well-being.
