Abstract

Il tasso di irregolarit? del lavoro nelle regioni italiane presenta caratteristiche di forte persistenza nel corso del tempo, nonostante i numerosi interventi legislativi che si sono succeduti nel tempo. L?obiettivo del lavoro ? identificare quali sono le caratteristiche economico-sociali delle regioni in grado di spiegare il fenomeno dell?impiego di lavoro irregolare. Dopo avere analizzato la principale letteratura nazionale e internazionale sull?economia sommersa e il lavoro irregolare, sono state identificate le principali determinanti del fenomeno. I dati utilizzati sono quelli resi disponibili dall?ISTAT in serie storica. Dall?analisi esplorativa dei dati, appare che la specificazione preferibile del modello sia di tipo dinamico e cio? esso deve includere il tasso di irregolarit? ritardato tra le covariate. Attraverso uno stimatore GMM di Arellano-Bond si ? stimato il modello panel dinamico. L?analisi empirica conferma l?ipotesi che il modello ? di tipo autoregressivo. In linea con quanto trovato da altri autori, risultano rilevanti anche il tasso di disoccupazione, la tax morale (colta attraverso il capitale sociale), il capitale umano e la capacit? di innovare. L?evasione fiscale e contributiva ? una delle principali piaghe dell?Italia che, in questo momento di crisi, ? particolarmente difficile da tollerare. Ecco perch? comprendere le ragioni che spiegano il lavoro irregolare ? molto importante, soprattutto per i policy maker. Il presente articolo va in questa direzione, contribuendo a dare indicazioni su quali sono gli aspetti che, a livello regionale, vanno potenziati oppure ridotti al fine di contrastare il sommerso.
