Abstract

We examine the labor market spillovers associated with the establishment of a large oil extraction facility in a peripheral commuting zone in Southern Italy, focusing on the period of physical investment. Employing a synthetic difference-in-differences design with commuting zone-level census data, we find no evidence of an impact on overall employment or the total number of establishments. However, we estimate positive effects in sectors supplying goods and services to the oil industry and among large firms. As for the latter finding, we estimate positive within-firm employment effects using social security micro-data.

大型工厂开业对劳动力市场的溢出效应。来自石油行业的证据

我们研究了与在意大利南部外围通勤区建立大型石油开采设施相关的劳动力市场溢出效应，重点关注实物投资时期。采用综合的差别化设计和通勤区水平的人口普查数据，我们没有发现对总体就业或机构总数的影响的证据。然而，我们估计向石油工业和大型企业提供商品和服务的部门会产生积极影响。对于后一项发现，我们使用社会保障微观数据估计了企业内部就业的积极影响。

期刊介绍： The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
