Labor Market Spillovers of a Large Plan Opening. Evidence from the Oil Industry
註釋We study the labor market spillovers of the opening of a large oil extracting facility in a peripheral area of the South of Italy, focusing on the time when the physical investment was made, before production took off and royalties started flowing in. Using firm-level administrative data covering the universe of non-farm businesses in a difference-in-differences design, we find large positive effects on firm-level employment and positive, albeit smaller, effects on wages per employee. Within-firm employment gains are geographically localized and are concentrated in the upstream sector (not only in manufacturing) and among the largest firms; however the number of firms declines. Aggregate results obtained using census data show that the overall employment effect in the area is slightly positive.
