Abstract

This paper examines the role played by a very large fiscal incentive for the renovation of residential buildings, the 'Superbonus', in the growth in construction costs observed in Italy during the post-pandemic period. These costs started to rise in 2021, as the Superbonus became more and more commonly used in building renovations. By estimating an empirical model, we find that about half of the total increase in Italian construction costs between September 2021 and December 2023 can be attributed to the Superbonus.
