Economic recovery and the determinants of productivity and innovation : evidence from post-WWII Italy
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation explores the process of economic development of Italy which between the late 1940s and the early 1970s moved from being a war-ravaged agricultural country to the seventh most industrialized power of the world. Chapter 1 investigates the extent to which the Marshall Plan affected the Italian economic recovery from WWII and its subsequent industrial production expansion. Chapter 2 assesses the long-run effects of management and technology transfer on firm performance. Chapter 3 studies the series of Italian reforms that promoted university STEM education among a group of high-school students, who were trained in STEM, but historically denied access to scientific university studies.
