The impact of employment protection legislation reforms in Italy","authors":"Francesco Stolfi, Oliver Fritsch","doi":"10.1080/13608746.2023.2238970","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13608746.2023.2238970","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThrough a meta-analysis of all publicly available research over a span of 25 years, the article assesses the productivity impact of the employment protection legislation reforms that have been introduced in Italy since 1997. European Union institutions and domestic reformers advocated the reforms in order to increase the competitiveness and productivity of the Italian economy. Yet, by incentivising temporary employment, the reforms have favoured competitive strategies that have reduced the productivity of the country’s firms.KEYWORDS: Atypical workEU employment policylabour flexibilityEU labour market reformslabour market deregulationproductivitystructural reformstemporary employment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

See http://www.prisma-statement.org.8. Saltari and Travaglini (Citation2008) do not report a coefficient, but do report no impact on productivity from regulatory change. We counted this as one test, no impact.9. One article (Cappellari, Dell’aringa & Leonardi Citation2012) measures productivity in three ways: valued added per workers, sales per worker, and TFP. In Table 1c, we have added together the tests measuring valued added per workers and sales per worker.10. We have also performed a non-parametric t-test, the Wilcoxon one-sample t-test for the median, which does not depend on normality assumptions on the distribution of the observations, for the 10 sources that adopt productivity as their dependent variable and share of temporary or permanent workers in the workforce as independent variable. A one-sided test indicates that rmedian is negative, with p value < 0.001.11. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/tipslm20/default/table?lang=en accessed April 30, 2021Additional informationNotes on contributorsFrancesco StolfiFrancesco Stolfi is a Senior Lecturer in the Macquarie School of Social Sciences, Macquarie University.

We also explore the second phase and how the political reaction evolved towards a more consensual approach.

Scholars and pundits briskly categorised it as a (new) populist radical right (PRR) party. Still, FdI’s newness needs to be properly framed. A splinter party of the Popolo della Libertà, it claims a direct lineage with the Alleanza Nazionale – two cases not easily agglutinated into the PRR family. The article analyses the (dis)continuity associated with FdI, examining ideology, organisation, and the continuity of elites. It demonstrates that FdI’s organisation and political elites largely overlap with its predecessor parties. However, FdI accomplished a major ideological rebranding, positioning itself as radically different from both the mainstream centre-right and the post-fascist tradition of the Italian right.","PeriodicalId":47304,"journal":{"name":"South European Society and Politics","volume":"8 1","pages":"359 - 383"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91218654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While both leader and party can be classified as belonging to the populist radical right family, we argue that FdI must be understood also as a ‘rooted newcomer’, i.e. a party that can count on pre-existing organisational resources, building its appeal also on symbolic elements already familiar to the electorate when the party was formed. Focusing on the supply side, we tackle some of the main open questions related to the party’s ambivalent nature, often fluctuating between a post-fascist profile and a frequently reiterated support for other European radical right illiberal leaders and more moderate positions. We identify the politics of illiberalism as the key challenge the party faces in its transition from opposition to government.","PeriodicalId":47304,"journal":{"name":"South European Society and Politics","volume":"74 1","pages":"385 - 405"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86319804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Was the pandemic a relevant factor for vote choice in these elections? The main goal of this article is to shed light on this matter. In addition to portraying this election’s background and results, we describe the degree of COVID-19-related polarisation in Portugal, analyse the salience of the pandemic in the campaign and measure the relative impact of pandemic-related perceptions vs other variables on voting behaviour. Our findings reveal that, although there was little politicisation of the pandemic and the incumbent enjoyed high levels of support among both political elites and public opinion, Chega, which was less involved in rallying around the flag, arguably sent signals that made COVID-19-related assessments relevant in terms of voting behaviour.","PeriodicalId":47304,"journal":{"name":"South European Society and Politics","volume":"1 1","pages":"305 - 327"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84723768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
