摘要

本研究的目的是确定意大利制度的质量是否是经济不平等的一个重要因素，以及结果是否有助于解释意大利的南北鸿沟。为了验证我们的假设，我们对意大利2004年至2019年的区域数据进行了分位数回归。结果表明，较高的制度质量在减少收入不平等方面起着至关重要的作用。在收入不平等非常严重的情况下尤其如此。我们的实证结果得到了一系列稳健性检验的证实，这也具有重要的政策意义。

Institutional Quality and Income Inequality. Quantile Regression Analysis of Regional Italian Data

The aim of this study is to determine whether the quality of Italian institutions is a significant factor in economic inequality and whether the result contributes to an explanation of the North-South divide in Italy. To test our hypothesis, we use a quantile regression on regional data for Italy from 2004 to 2019. The results suggest that higher institutional quality plays a crucial role in reducing income inequality. This is particularly true in situations where income inequality is very high. Our empirical results were confirmed by a series of robustness checks, which also have important policy implications.
