Abstract

L?Italia ? stato uno dei Paesi pi? colpiti dalla prima ondata della pandemia di Covid-19, sia in termini di contagi che di mortalit?. Tuttavia, la diffusione della pandemia e il tasso di mortalit? sono stati piuttosto disomogenei tra le province italiane, nonostante un intenso flusso di movimenti della popolazione tra le diverse aree geografiche del paese prima del lockdown dell?11 marzo 2020. Questo articolo si propone di individuare alcune delle cause dell?eterogeneit? geografica del contagio e del tasso di mortalit?, concentrandosi in particolare sul ruolo del capitale umano, dell?interazione intergenerazionale all?interno delle famiglie, della mobilit? della popolazione dopo la decisione di lockdown e delle caratteristiche dei sistemi sanitari a livello locale. Tramite l?utilizzo di tecniche panel, troviamo che la mobilit? della popolazione, parzialmente continuata anche con il lockdown, ha avuto effetti disomogenei sull?espansione del contagio, mentre le esternalit? del capitale umano e l?estensione del sistema sanitario pubblico a livello locale sono stati fattori importanti per ridurre la mortalit? da Covid-19. L?elevata integrazione intergenerazionale delle famiglie italiane non sembra aver aumentato i tassi di contagio.
