Trends in the Italian productive systemRome, 27-28 November 2008

The conference marks the end of a two-year project launched at the beginning of 2007 by the Bank of Italy's Research Department. The goal of the project was to contribute to the understanding of the reasons behind the structural difficulties experienced by the Italian economy for more than a decade. With this aim in mind, the conference has hosted papers presented by both Italian academic experts and Bank of Italy researchers and has been concluded by the presentation and the discussion of a report on the Italian economy summarizing the results of the research.
