Abstract

Nel lavoro argomentiamo che le conoscenze sulle imprese familiari sono del tutto inadeguate rispetto alla dimensione che il fenomeno riveste in Italia. Infatti, i pur imprecisi confronti tra Paesi europei rivelano che le imprese familiari avrebbero il massimo peso nel sistema produttivo nazionale italiano. Sosteniamo che le difficolt? di quantificazione del fenomeno non giustificano questa situazione di scarsa conoscenza, che inficia il dibattitto di politica economica sulle imprese familiari. Per cercare di rimediare, si elabora una quantificazione originale basata su un ampio campione rappresentativo giungendo a stimare il peso delle imprese familiari sul 70% del totale degli addetti nell?industria e servizi. Si elaborano inoltre statistiche che quantificano il fenomeno a livello territoriale, mettendo in luce come, sebbene generalizzata, la sua rilevanza sia ancor pi? marcata in alcune regioni. Infine, si mostra che le imprese familiari sono protagoniste vitali nella formazione di nuove imprese.
