Can municipal mergers improve institutional capacity? Using the MAQI and non-parametric DiD, we find that mergers enhance admin performance—via economies of scale and the self-selection of higher-quality politicians https://t.co/bqw8YHF9UH

@FilBarbera @__costanza Using a composite index allows to "compensate" for administrative quality dimensions, such as n° of personnel/1000 inhabitants.

[Federico Zampollo @fedzampollo]

@FilBarbera @__costanza Hi Filippo, it is likely due to higher turnover rates resulting from a significant stabilization of temporary workers, particularly in Sicily. While this could affect local administrative performance in the short term, we should observe positive effects in the medium/long run.
