An introduction to territorial analysis
A double role for statistics in contemporary
society:
1. Decision-makers in government and in business
need statistics to make decisions
2. The public and media need statistics for an
accurate picture of contemporary society and to
evaluate the performance of politicians and other
institutions and decision-makers
The use of statistics for socio-economic analysis
is one of the pre-requisite for the elaboration of
a development strategy based on scientific
foundations
An introduction to territorial analysis
To define the correct scale upon which to “read”
economic-territorial systems is a tricky issue
The macro-level approach allows to consider system
dimensions and interrelations which impact territories, but
suppresses detail information (i.e. local, sectoral, etc.)
The micro-economic approach proves useful for analysing
single cases in depth, thus entailing the risk of concentrating
attention on individual cases and losing the overarching view
of the phenomena
Both macro-economic and micro-economic viewpoints cannot
fulfill the informative needs of a territorial analysis with a
policy orientation. An intermediate scale approach is
necessary to simplify data, enable their actual use and, at the
same time, cleverly manage information consistently with
actual policy needs
An introduction to territorial analysis
The quantitative territorial analysis process normally
consists of one or more of the following approaches:
A descriptive analysis in a regional context
A comparative analysis –consisting of comparison of
relevant development indicators upon a benchmark
territorial scale (national, European, etc.)- in order to
identify critical issues indicating their extent and context
An impact analysis, and namely:
an ex ante analysis involving the assessment of foreseeable
and expected consequences of a change in one or more
exogenous stimuli which will influence the elements
characterising a region
an ex post assessment of the consequences of an intervention
effected in the past
An introduction to territorial analysis
For the most part, regional socioeconomic analysis
relies on the use of secondary data already collected,
organized, and disseminated by other organizations
To fill gaps in knowledge not addressed by secondary
data, data analysis can be aided to some extent by
primary data collection, through tools such as surveys
and interviews. Other qualitative tools, i.e. literature
review, may be useful to guide the analysis
The efficacy of the analysis depends on 1) the depth,
quality and accessibility of secondary data and 2) the
analyst’s awareness of data sources and methods for
exploring and exploiting those data
About Eurostat
Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union, situated
in Luxembourg. Its mission is to provide the European Union
with high-quality statistics at European level enabling
comparisons between countries and regions.
Eurostat was established in 1953 to meet the requirements of
the Coal and Steel Community. Over the years its task has
broadened and in 1958 it became a Directorate-General (DG) of
the European Commission, with the key role to supply statistics
to other DGs and supply the Commission and other European
Institutions with data.
Eurostat’s role has changed along with the development of
Community policies, with increasing importance on collecting
data for EMU and developing statistical systems in candidate
countries for EU membership.
About Eurostat
European statistics are developed, produced, and disseminated
on the basis of uniform standards and harmonised methods.
Traditionally, the National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) of the
Member States collect and produce harmonised data that are
compiled by Eurostat to construct statistics at EU level. Initially it
happened on a voluntary agreements base, but there has been
a continuous drive to base the collection of statistics on
legislation.
The new Regulation on statistics introduced the European
Statistical System (ESS) in order to improve efficiency through
a systematic collaboration between NSIs and Eurostat
a move towards the so-called data warehouse approach
the combination of survey data with administrative data
the European approach to statistics (EU sampling)

Partial conclusions - Demography
Stable amount of population between 1990 and 2000; in the next
fifteen years population grew by 10% due to the strengthening of
migration flows which overcame the negative trend of the natural
rate
In comparative terms, the population growth over the past
decade was higher than in the rest of Italy and Europe. The rate
of migration is also higher than in the rest of the country.
The age composition of population stands out relatively to the EU
for a lower share of young people and for a higher share of aged
people (also confirmed by the dependency ratio). But it is also
characterized by a higher share of people in central age, probably
as a result of immigration flows.
Partial conclusions - Demography
As for the future, the issues at stake are:
a low potential increase of population. Indeed, given the negative
natural rate, it depends essentially on immigration flows
the ageing of population, which put pressure on the welfare
system, may have a negative impact on the propensity to change
and innovate, reduces the ratio between working and not
working people
the impact of a rising share of foreign people. Immigration flows
may have beneficial effects in terms of growth and of composition
of population -and also in terms of cultural diversity- but pose
serious problems of integration with the local communities
the loss of population in mountain areas, with negative
consequences on the living conditions of population of these
areas, on the conservation of cultural heritage and identity of
local communities, and on environment and landscape

The macroeconomic frame
QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED
Is E-R a high growing region?
STATISTICAL EVIDENCE
No, real growth rate is in line with Italy but one half
of the EU average
Higher fluctuation relatively to EU, but generalised
underperformance (except for year 2000 and 2006)
Is the regional level of productivity
relatively high?
Yes, it is. But the positive gap with EU level has
shrunk in the decade
Not at all. GDP per capita is higher than any
benchmark (but on a convergence path with EU
Is E-R a laggard region relatively to the average)
belonging country?
Is E-R a region with strong internal
disparities?
Moderate disparities at NUTS3 level (but possibly
higher within them)
Convergence process during the decade with the
exception of Piacenza
Partial conclusions –
Macroeconomic profile
Emilia Romagna is a wealthy region in Europe and in Italy, but it is
also a slow growing region which is loosing ground compared to
the rest of Europe. This trend has led to a strong reduction of the
positive gap in GDP per capita: in 2000 the Emilia Romagna GDP
per capita was 50% higher than the EU28; this gap narrowed
respectively to 25% ten years later.
At the beginning of the decade the region emerged as a high
productivity region by European standards. Since then the rate of
productivity growth has been low and the gap with other
Europeans regions has reduced or disappeared
There are significant disparities in terms of GDP per capita among
the various provinces. The difference between the provinces with
the highest and the lowest GDP per capita is 25%, but during the
last decade there has been a trend towards convergence
Partial conclusions –
Macroeconomic profile
Emilia-Romagna is a very open economy. The degree of
internalization is very high compared to national and European
standards alike. Exports play a driving role in the overall economy
and the trade balance is structurally in surplus
Partial conclusions –
Macroeconomic profile
The main issues at stake are:
the slow rate of growth of GDP and of productivity in the last
decade. These trends may in the long run decrease the
standard of public services and, more generally, the quality
of life of population and are a signal of weakening
competitiveness of the region in the world economy
The capacity of exports to remain competitive in the world
markets
the ability to absorb, integrate and enhance the growing
population of foreign workers

Partial conclusions – Labour
market
Emilia-Romagna stands out in Italy and in Europe for high rates of
activity and employment and low rates of unemployment
The region performs poorly compared to EU only for the rate of
employment of aged people and for young unemployment rate
Within the national context all indicators of the labor market show
a much better situation than in the rest of the country
Like in most of European regions, as a consequence of the
economic crisis the official rate of unemployment soared in the
last six years years from 3% to 8,5%, but the real rate, accounting
also for not working people placed in the social safety system, is
even higher
A negative feature of the regional labor market not emerging from
our data is the high share of temporary work, especially among
young people and women. Temporary work is widespread in all
sectors, with peaks in the service sector
Labour market
QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED
Is E-R a region with high levels of activity?
Is the regional economic system able to give
employment to local workers?
STATISTICAL EVIDENCE
Yes, the activity rate is in line with
European standard and converging
to EU15
Surely yes, better than in EU (on
average) although the economic
crisis inverted the positive trend
No, the unemployment rate

Partial conclusions – Labour
market
The main issues at stake regarding the labour market are:
The impact of the crisis on the labour market with a soaring
rate of unemployment
The high share of temporary jobs among young people and
women, producing uncertainty and instability in the working
and private life alike
The growing share of foreign workers
The low rate of employment of people over 60

Composing the puzzle: the growth
identity
The contribution to the GDP per capita growth has been
decomposed in its main components:
productivity
employment
labour force
population
The main driver of the regional economy in the decade has
been productivity which accounts for more than 70% of the
total growth. A significant contribution came from the labour
force, due probably to the increase in the female rate of
activity and to the flows of young immigrants. A negative
contribution came on the other hand from an aging
population which reduces the number of people in
employment.

Partial conclusions – Structure of
the economy
Emilia-Romagna is a manufacturing region. Manufacturing alone
accounts for 25% of total value added, a higher share compared
to the Italian and EU15 or EU27 averages. The share of services
and especially administrative services is on the other hand
relatively lower
Data on sectorial labor productivity signal a relatively high
productivity in the agricultural sector and in the industrial sector
Within the manufacturing sector, the region has a very strong
specialization in manufacturing of machinery and equipment
(which covers over 20% of manufacturing production), fabricated
metal product, manufacturing of wearing apparels and other non
metallic mineral products.
Partial conclusions – Business
structure
The main issues at stake are:
The creation of an “highly knowledge intensive” economy in
line with the Lisbon strategy and Europe 2020 guidelines
The building of strong and stable links between activities of
research, technological transfer and production with the aim to
foster innovation and productivity on a permanent basis and to
stimulate the start up of high tech firms
The upraising of skills, especially in the field of high technology
The implementation of policies tailored for territorial clusters
and production chains
The improvement of corporate governance of firms, especially
small firm

Partial conclusions – Research
and innovation
Statistical evidence on the region’s capacity to produce
innovation shows no fully consistent results
The share of R&D expenditure on GDP does not differ
significantly from the national average, and it has been
persistently lower than the EU15 average.
The negative gap is due to the low share of R&D expenditure in
the private sector, probably linked to the small average size of
Italian firms.
By contrast Emilia-Romagna performs better than Italy and the
EU as regard the normalized number of patent applications. The
same advantage does not persist if we focus on high-tech patents
From the technological point of view, the industrial sector is
strongly specialized in medium technology products while it is
relatively weak in high technology products and services
Partial conclusions – Research
and innovation
The important issues at stake are:
The share of expenditure on research and development by
the private sector is low by European standard
Innovative capacity in the high technology sectors is
unsatisfactory by European standard
The prevalence of small and medium sized firms may
represent an obstacle for technical progress spilling over
from research and development activity

Partial conclusions – Education
and human capital
In Emilia-Romagna –as in Italy- there is a low number of people
with tertiary education by European standards. The figures
however tell nothing about the causes of the negative gap and its
persistency in young generations
The share of females with tertiary education is higher than the
share of males. This is true also for Italy and for Europe, but to a
smaller extent
In the last three years there has been an increase in the share of
secondary education attainment at expense of lower education,
but not a clear upward trend of the share of people with tertiary
education

Partial conclusions – Tourism
The region has a significant advantage in tourism relatively to the
rest of the country and of Europe as a whole. Only Italian North
East, where Venice is placed, shows higher tourism intensity
The holiday average length is higher in the region compared to the
rest of the country and to Europe as a whole, even if it has slowly
decreased in the last decade
Figures on touristic supply density show a particularly high density
of establishment in Italian North-East, while in Emilia-Romagna
the level is even lower than Italian average, although almost
double than the EU27 one. Taking into account the dimension of
the establishments, figures would probably change
Hotels are still the predominant typology of accommodation in
Emilia-Romagna, but their weight has declined during the 2000’s.
The share is still significantly higher than in any other benchmark
area, especially in terms of number of establishments

Partial conclusions – Social
inclusion and well being
The relative poverty is more or less one half of the EU levels, and
it slightly decreased during the last years, in spite of the economic
crisis.
Absolute poverty instead significantly increased as consequence
of the economic crisis
The availability of hospital beds is higher in the region compared
to the rest of the country but lower compared to the rest of
Europe. There is also a declining trend in this indicator in the
region as in the country and in the rest of Europe. Similarly, the
number of physicians in the region is higher compared to Italy, but
there are no sound data for EU
The infant mortality rate is lower and life expectancy is higher
compared to other countries. These figures show a regional
situation always better compared to Italy and even more to the
European average

Partial conclusions – Accessibility
The availability of transport infrastructure in the region is
slightly larger than the national average and possibly in line with
European standard (even if no average data are available for EU)
The endowment of transport infrastructure increased in recent
years, together with their quality –as measured by the indicator
on road accident victims
Internet accessibility is persistently lower that the European
average, although less than in the rest of the country
Same conclusions may be derived with regard to the diffusion of
internet and ITC technologies. In both cases there is a
generalised (but slow) catching up process towards European
standard

Concluding remarks
From analysis to synthesis
To make en effort to compose partial conclusions for each
dimension in an overarching frame
The split-up of the territorial analysis in several
dimension is artificial; there are inter-dimensional
relations that should be highlighted in the synthesis
conclusions
SWOT analysis may be a simple mean to organize
conclusions and statistical evidence in a suitable way
for subsequent policy design
