• 2011: “Measuring Italy’s External Competitiveness” by Lorenzo Codogno and Luigi Paganetto.
  Synopsis: What is the picture that emerges for Italy? A superficial glance at selected macroeconomic indicators for Italy would give the impression of a loss in competitiveness over the past few years. Digging deeper into macro and micro data, however, provides interesting insights and shows a much more complex and articulated picture, with evidence of an ongoing process of creative destruction and adaptation to the new global competitive environment.
