“…Demographic factors and organizational inefficiencies do not favor the efficient allocation of labor among the southern regions (Faini et al, ). Consequently, skill‐selective migration is present in Italy, causing a transfer of resources toward the more developed North (Fratesi and Percoco, ), which is enriched by the southern human capital (Capasso et al, ).…”

The economic recession that followed the 2007 crisis has widened the economic gaps between the wealthiest and the relatively poorer regions in Italy. The Great Recession has changed the importance of local economic strengths and hindered the possibilities of economic recovery, especially in the Mezzogiorno of Italy. We seek the local strengths present in Italian regions in the post-crisis period by comparing two macro areas to observe strong and weak points for intervention. A first analysis using multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) is used to filter the relevant determinants in a large dataset, and a panel data analysis serves to obtain group-specific results. Some effects of the prolonged recession are confirmed in all regions, while some weaknesses of the South, such as financial markets, play an increasing role in the regional development scenarios.

“…Issues relating to interregional migration are widely covered in recent studies (Benier and Corcoran, 2018;Biagi and Dotzel, 2018;Capasso et al, 2012;Cao et al, 2018;Denisov, 2018;Gerolimetto and Magrini, 2018;Rivera-Batiz, 2018;Simonen, Svento, Karhinen and McCann, 2018), including labor migration (Arntz, 2010;Ding, 2009;Haussen and Uebelmesser, 2018;Moshiri and Moghaddam, 2018;Sanchez-Moral et al, 2018;Simonen et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2018). Scientific community also pays attention to the problem of migration regulation (Bystrov, Shishaev, Malygina and Khaliullina, 2018;Molinder, 2018;Nuraeny, 2018;Prytkova, 2017).…”

Purpose: The paper deals with the analysis of the influence of interregional labor migration in the Russian Federation on regional labor productivity. Design/Methodology/Approach: Empirical analysis was conducted on the statistical data collected from the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. The sample includes data on 85 subjects of the Russian Federation for the period 2011-2016. The study substantiates the impact of interregional labor migration in the Russian Federation on regional labor productivity and to form the tools for managing migration processes, ensuring its improvement. Findings: The study showed that interregional differences in wages, the differentiation of the characteristics of labor markets in the region of residence and the potential region of employment, different transport accessibility and additional employee costs associated with staying in another region are the main economic reasons for interregional labor migration in the Russian Federation. The regression analysis confirmed hypotheses that higher level of labor migration from the region leads to a decrease in labor productivity in the region. Practical Implications: Based on the empirically derived relationships, authors created a set of tools for managing migration processes, ensuring their improvement, which can be used for the development of program documents at the regional and interregional levels. Originality/Value: The main contribution of this study is the combination of deep statistical analysis and migration factors' analysis to provide valuable conclusions in interregional labor migrations.

“…The persistence of such a change in the demographic structure could be extremely damaging to southern regions: while this area would risk exposure to the troubles of more demographically mature areas, the consequent loss of physical and human capital could hinder productivity growth and hence the attainment of greater economic prosperity, as recently evidenced by CAPASSO et al (2012).…”

Making due allowances for differences in demographics, the labour market and internal migration dynamics, this study analyses the\ud sustainability of the Italian pension balance at a regional level. A worsening of the elderly dependency ratio and a decline in birth and employment rates have generated a negative trend, particularly for regions in southern Italy, characterized by early retirement and an increase in migration outﬂows. The suggestion is that a decentralized pension policy is not a Pareto-efﬁcient solution because it would favour the sustainability of the pension balance in northern regions over those in the South
