This study investigates the influence of mafia activity on firm efficiency, with a specific focus on civil engineering companies. A composite indicator of organized crime was developed to measure its presence at the municipal level, and stochastic frontier models were employed to assess firm efficiency and input misallocation across Italian municipalities. We also estimate an Institutional Quality Indicator (IQI) to account for the impact of local institutional effectiveness on firm performance, with the results showing that higher IQI levels are associated with lower inefficiency. The findings indicate that criminal activities significantly hinder efficiency, especially in areas where organized crime is pervasive. These results underscore the urgent need for strategies to shield firms from organized crime, foster growth, and facilitate regional development.</p>","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 3","pages":"759-779"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jors.12761","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144256123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings reveal that climate policies have a significant positive impact on earnings in the overall labor market without adversely affecting employment. However, climate policy has substantial distributional effects, favoring skilled workers in green industries but disadvantaging low-skilled labor. This distributional effect primarily stems from the industrial restructuring and technological upgrading in cities induced by climate policies through administrative regulations and economic incentives. Furthermore, our research indicates that the effects of climate policies on the labor market extend to the household level, raising certain social distributional concerns.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48059,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Regional Science","volume":"65 3","pages":"741-758"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144255856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By adopting a multilevel approach along with Beta Generalized Linear Mixed Models, we obtain two major results.

Adverse selection of less productive firms into a location only dominates if knowledge spillovers in agglomerated locations are harmful to productive entrants: when the entrant and local incumbents target the same (domestic) product market and the entrant risks losing market share and profits. We find evidence for this notion in analysis of location decisions for new plants at the fine-grained geographical level in Japan by firms with known productivity records in the industry (multi-plant firms).

The results also suggest that there is some heterogeneity in the effect of the FNE according to the magnitude of the volume of credit contracted, with the exception of Average Income, which does not show an effect when the resources were contracted by women. In the case of total transfers, positive impacts on average income, GDP per capita and wage mass were observed only in the last levels of treatment.
