Abstract Since the mid-1990s interregional migration flows in Italy have dramatically increased, especially from the South to the North. These flows are characterized by a strong component of human capital, involving a large number of workers with secondary and tertiary education. Using longitudinal data for the period 2002-2011 at NUTS-3 territorial level, we document that long-distance (i.e., South-North) net migration of high-skill workers has increased the unemployment at origin and decreased it at destination, thus deepening North-South unemployment disparities. On the other hand, long-distance net migration of low-skill workers has had the opposite effect, by lowering the unemployment at origin and raising it at destination. Further evidence also suggests that the diverging effect of high-skill migration dominates the converging effect of lowskill migration. Thus, concerns for an ‘internal brain drain’ from Southern regions look not groundless.

地区间人力资本迁移与失业动态:来自意大利各省的证据

摘要自1990年代中期以来,意大利的区域间移民流动急剧增加,特别是从南部到北部。这些流动的特点是人力资本的强大组成部分,涉及大量受过中等和高等教育的工人。使用NUTS-3地域2002-2011年期间的纵向数据,我们证明高技能工人的长距离(即南北)净移民增加了来源的失业人数,减少了目的地的失业人数,从而加深了失业率南北失业差距。另一方面,低技能工人的远程净迁移产生了相反的效果,即降低了原籍国的失业率,而增加了原籍国的失业率。进一步的证据还表明,高技能移民的分散效应主导了低技能移民的聚合效应。因此,对于南部地区“内部人才外流”的担忧似乎并非没有根据。
