Banca d’Italia. Anything new in town? The local effects of urban regeneration policies in Italy

The paper estimates the local effects of urban regeneration policies by using evidence from interventions that took place in small and medium-sized cities in the Centre and North of Italy over the period 2008-12. By using an Oaxaca-Blinder reweighting estimator, the Paper finds little support for the idea that urban regeneration projects could stimulate local economic growth in the short to medium term. Only the largest scale interventions that focused on improving the public realm seem to have led to an increase in house prices.

The unique nature of the pandemic, and the government actions to stem the trajectory of the outbreak, is severely impacting global manufacturing, production, and supply chains worldwide.
