“…But social capital is not always used to benefit entire societies; it can be confined within small groups that use it for exclusive benefits at the cost of others. Such ties are manifested as mafias, gangs or parochial interest groups that may stifle social interaction and economic development [108,121]. Treaties, constitutions and institutes that stand for political, economic and social organizations that determine the working environment for systems to develop are established to prevent such negative effects.…”

“…However the differences in social capital are more or less persistent through time. For instance, Putnam, Leonardi, and Nanetti (1993) and de Blasio and Nuzzo (2006) argue that the regions that were rich in social capital in the 19th century are also well-endowed nowadays. Moreover, as shown in chapter 3 the historical variables affect income growth through social capital not by any other mechanism (in statistical terms).…”

Is there room for containing healthcare costs? An analysis of regional spending differentials in Italy

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This work aims at identifying the determinants of health spending differentials among Italian regions and at highlighting potential margins for savings. The analysis exploits a data set for the 21 Italian regions and autonomous provinces starting in the early 1990s and ending in 2006. After controlling for standard healthcare demand indicators, remaining spending differentials are found to be significant, and they appear to be associated with differences in the degree of appropriateness of treatments, health sector supply structure and social capital indicators. In general, higher regional expenditure does not appear to be associated with better reported or perceived quality in health services. In the regions that display poorer performances, inefficiencies appear not to be uniformly distributed among expenditure items. Overall, results suggest that savings could be achieved without reducing the amount of services provided to citizens. This seems particularly important given the expected rise in spending associated with the forecasted demographic developments.
