Collaboration agreements

The Department of the Treasury promotes collaborative relations with the academic world for issues related to economic and financial analysis, as foreseen by art. 15 of the Law of 7 August 1990, no.241, which allows cooperation agreements to be drawn up between public administrations to regulate the activities of common interest. Collaboration agreements are stipulated with public universities in Italy, which, pursuant to the Law of 9 May 1989 no. 168 “Institution of the Ministry of University and Scientific and technological research”, art. 6, paragraph 4 and art. 7, paragraph 1, letter c, are considered primary research locations and with other public entities that carry out economic analysis.

 

Research Focus:

  • Nowcasting models and macroeconomic forecasts in the medium term
  • Models pertinent to the monetary and financial sector of the economy
  • Computational models for assessing economic policy and the impact of structural reforms
  • Microsimulation models for the analysis of the labour market and the social security system
  • Models for the quantitative analysis of sustainable and fair welfare indicators and sustainable development objectives (Agenda 2030)
  • Analysis and evaluation of the impact of policies on Equitable and Sustainable Well-being (ESW) indicators included in budgetary cycle documents
  • Models to assess the environmental impact of economic policy
  • Micro-founded studies on the productivity of the economy
  • Analysis of innovation and international competitiveness
  • Analysis of productive sectors and their technological and organizational paradigms
  • Analysis of the labour market
  • Demographics and other factors of long-term growth
  • Socio-economic inequality and regional differences
  • Analysis of the trends in public finances
  • Quantitative assessment of alternative tax measures
  • Detailed study of the issues relating to the monetary union, the European Union budget and the reform incentive mechanisms.

 

PROCEDURE

Universities and Public Institutions interested in stipulating cooperation agreements with the Department must send the proposed research project on headed paper, following the indications in the proposal model.
Proposals should be sent via PEC to dipartimento.tesoro@pec.mef.gov.it, and they will be scrutinized by an assessment committee consisting of the Director General, Office I Director, and by an Executive qualified to assess the project produced.

Partendo dagli esiti raggiunti nel corso dei precedenti accordi inerenti alla costruzione di un dataset originale “administrative/survey linked” e di un modello di previsione della povertà assoluta si intende sviluppare i seguenti aspetti:

  1. a. integrazione del dataset con i dati sulle dichiarazioni fiscali messi a disposizione dal Dipartimento delle Finanze del MEF;
  2. b. integrazione fra fonti campionarie relative alle diverse fonti di reddito di individui e famiglie residenti in Italia e le informazioni amministrative longitudinali INPS sull’ISEE e sui redditi degli individui facente parte del campione;
  3. c. valutazione dell’incrocio tra ricezione delle diverse misure di sostegno ai redditi, povertà relativa e povertà assoluta;
  4. d. stima degli effetti delle misure di sostegno ai redditi su offerta di lavoro e scelte di consumo dei beneficiari applicando metodologie di stima difference-in-difference e di regression discontinuity;
  5. e. stima dell’intersezione fra povertà di consumo e di reddito e povertà energetica e valutazione degli effetti sulla povertà delle misure di sostegno contro il rincaro dei prezzi energetici;
  6. f. ulteriore raffinamento del modello di previsione che consente di simulare le tendenze della povertà assoluta a seconda della variazione della distribuzione dei redditi da lavoro e delle tendenze del quadro macroeconomico e dell’occupazione;
  7. g. uso del modello di previsione per effettuare le stime dell’indicatore della povertà assoluta ai fini dei documenti programmatici nonché per ulteriori motivi di ricerca.
