La risposta del sistema regionale all'emergenza pandemica: un'analisi quali-quantitativa degli interventi regionali

Covid-19 is the first emergency affecting Italy in its regional institutional set-up. Through a qual-itative-quantitative analysis of the regional resolutions in 2020, the article proposes a first 'evaluation' of the regional system. Drawing from their own resources, Regions have deployed 7.3 billion euros, of which 2 billion for interventions to support families and 5.3 to support the production system. The Regions that have implemented the most significant interventions per capita are the Autonomous Provinces, the Regions with special statute and the large Southern Regions, the latter largely drawing on the resources of the structural funds. We observe an evolution of the allocation of resources from general and emergency aspects towards specific characteristics of the regional production sectors. The regional system has shown a certain ability to mobilize financial resources, and a significant degree of differentiation.
