Abstract

Questo articolo presenta uno studio di contabilit? della crescita con riferimento alle regioni del Mezzogiorno nel secondo dopoguerra, con un particolare focus sull?investimento pubblico e le spese in infrastrutture della Cassa per il Mezzogiorno. Il lavoro, nella prima parte, offre una visione di sintesi sull?evoluzione del divario tra il Nord e il Sud e sull?impatto delle politiche di investimento nel territorio meridionale dalle origini della Cassa per il Mezzogiorno alla fine dell?intervento straordinario. Nella seconda parte si dedica a un esercizio originale di contabilit? della crescita, allo scopo di verificare l?andamento e la correlazione degli interventi operati nei territori del Sud. L?analisi di cointegrazione a livello regionale su un modello derivato da una funzione di produzione Cobb-Douglas evidenzia l?importanza combinata degli investimenti privati e di quelli pubblici per la crescita del Mezzogiorno. L?esercizio di growth accounting mostra significative differenze nelle performance delle singole regioni. Il contributo alla crescita degli investimenti pubblici ? scomposto, ponendo in rilievo gli investimenti di pertinenza della Cassa e il loro apporto specifico. La partecipazione della Cassa per il Mezzogiorno alle politiche di sviluppo risulta articolata sia rispetto al tempo che alle regioni meridionali, fornendo elementi di approfondimento anche per nuove ricerche.
