‘Please, don't go’: the role of local public human capital in post‐disaster recovery
研究2016年意大利中部地震后，地方公共部门员工低流动率如何减少就业损失和商业活动下降，对理解灾后经济恢复有参考价值。
Abstract We examine the nuanced interplay between local administrative capacity and post‐earthquake economic recovery. By focusing on the aftermath of the 2016 Central Italy earthquake, and employing the synthetic difference‐in‐differences estimator, we shed light on the crucial role of low local public employee turnover as a mitigating factor in curtailing post‐disaster job losses and the reduction of business activities. Our findings advance the disaster recovery literature by delving into municipal‐level dynamics, highlighting the significance of specific human capital and local administrative stability in fostering socioeconomic resilience.
