The present paper empirically examines the impact of international immigration on the growth of Italian provinces over the period 2003–2017 by analysing the impact of two main components of international immigration: the share and the diversity of immigrants. The main findings reveal that increases in birthplace fractionalisation and in the share of immigration significantly fostered output per capita. Moreover, we investigate whether the economic effects of these two dimensions of international immigration differ across Centre-North and South provinces. The analyses indicate that in the high-income Central-Northern provinces, both dimensions of immigration lead to benefits in terms of economic growth, while in the South, where there is still a lower socio-economic and institutional level of development, only the size effect related to the share of immigration seems to have growth-enhancing effects. In contexts characterised by a strong internal dualism, such findings are especially relevant as they give evidence of self-reinforcing dynamics, which contribute to further widening internal disparities.

移民多样性与区域经济增长

本文通过分析国际移民的两个主要组成部分:移民的份额和多样性,对2003-2017年期间国际移民对意大利各省的增长产生的影响进行了实证研究。主要发现表明,出生地分割和移民比例的增加大大提高了人均产出。此外,我们调查了中北部和南部省份这两个方面的国际移民的经济影响是否不同。分析表明,在中高收入的中北部省份,这两个方面的移民都带来了经济增长的利益,而在南部,社会经济和体制发展水平仍然较低,只有与移民份额有关的规模效应似乎具有促进增长的效应。在以强烈的内部二元性为特征的情况下,这种发现尤其重要,因为它们提供了自我强化动力的证据,这种动力进一步扩大了内部差距。
