Abstract

We examine the nuanced interplay between local administrative capacity and postearthquake 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 losses in jobs and in the reduction of business activities. Our findings advance the disaster recovery literature by delving into municipal-level dynamics, highlighting the significance of local administrative stability in fostering socio-economic resilience.
