Economic, Social and SPatial INequalities in Europe in the Era of Global Mega-trends
|
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to re-examine the nexus of social, economic and spatial inequalities in the EU,
|
the various typologies and the arrangements and mix of policies addressing them, in the light of emerging and highly interacting mega-trends and challenges, threatening to increase pressures and make policy choices even more difficult. As new and older drivers of change are projected to create a rather unfavorable environment for balanced growth and socio-spatial resilience, this research will focus on the analysis of policy responses, aiming to make them more proactive, inclusive and effective.

New Publication

|
ESRI published a paper that examines wage dispersion between firms across European regions and the role played by multinational firms with dominant market shares, the so-called “superstar firms”. Taken together, the key findings of this paper indicate that foreign direct investment, and international superstar firms in particular, have contributed to increased wage inequality between firms across European regions over the period 2012-2021. While increased wage inequality between firms might appear to be less of a concern, international evidence indicates that it can lead to increased overall income inequality.

|
The University of Cagliari published its first paper within the project. This study seeks to provide new information about how mining waste facilities impact the health and quality of life of people living nearby. The study represents the first attempt to estimate the causal effect of closing mining waste facilities on long-term mortality and other socio-economic outcomes at the local level over 50 years.
