This dissertation represents my doctoral thesis as a student of the Ph.D. School in Economics and Finance of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart. The thesis is composed of three chapters, each including an essay on political economics. The first chapter presents an essay titled “Is populism reversible? Evidence from Italian local elections during the pandemic” and co-authored with Massimo Bordignon and Matteo Gamalerio. The paper inspects - using data on municipal elections in Italy - the electoral consequences of the economic insecurity generated by the Covid-19 pandemic, finding a positive effects for the consensus to progressive and left-wing parties. The last two chapters, both single-authored, constitute a unitary composition, as Chapter III is the ideal continuation of Chapter II. The second chapter is titled “Split-ticket voting in Italy: evidence from concurrent European and municipality elections” and presents – using data from Italian municipalities and analysing concurrent European and local elections in the period 1999-2019 - evidence of vertical split-ticket voting in favour of the center-left parties in municipality elections. Finally, Chapter III is titled “Explaining split-ticket voting in concurrent European and local elections in Italy” and is aimed to understand – through the analysis of different hypothesis - the motivations behind the evidence documented in Chapter II.
Questo elaborato rappresenta la mia tesi di dottorato come studente della Scuola di Dottorato in Economia e Finanza dell'Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. La tesi è composta da tre capitoli, ciascuno dei quali include un saggio di political economics. Il primo capitolo presenta un saggio intitolato "Il populismo è reversibile? Evidenze dalle elezioni locali italiane durante la pandemia" e scritto in collaborazione con Massimo Bordignon e Matteo Gamalerio. Il lavoro esamina, utilizzando dati sulle elezioni comunali in Italia, le conseguenze elettorali dell'insicurezza economica generata dalla pandemia da Covid-19, trovando effetti positivi per il consenso ai partiti progressisti e di sinistra. Gli ultimi due capitoli, entrambi scritti dal sottoscritto, costituiscono una composizione unitaria, poiché il Capitolo III rappresenta la continuazione ideale del Capitolo II. Il secondo capitolo è intitolato "Il voto disgiunto in Italia: evidenze dalle elezioni europee e comunali concorrenti" e presenta, utilizzando dati provenienti dai comuni italiani e analizzando le elezioni europee e locali concorrenti nel periodo 1999-2019, evidenze di voto disgiunto verticale a favore dei partiti di centro-sinistra nelle elezioni comunali. Infine, il Capitolo III è intitolato "Spiegare il voto disgiunto nelle elezioni europee e locali concorrenti in Italia" ed è mirato a comprendere, attraverso l'analisi di diverse ipotesi, le motivazioni dietro le evidenze documentate nel Capitolo II.

Abstract
This dissertation represents my doctoral thesis as a student of the Ph.D. School in Economics and Finance of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart. The thesis is composed of three chapters, each including an essay on political economics. The first chapter presents an essay titled “Is populism reversible? Evidence from Italian local elections during the pandemic” and co-authored with Massimo Bordignon and Matteo Gamalerio. The paper inspects - using data on municipal elections in Italy - the electoral consequences of the economic insecurity generated by the Covid-19 pandemic, finding a positive effects for the consensus to progressive and left-wing parties. The last two chapters, both single-authored, constitute a unitary composition, as Chapter III is the ideal continuation of Chapter II. The second chapter is titled “Split-ticket voting in Italy: evidence from concurrent European and municipality elections” and presents – using data from Italian municipalities and analysing concurrent European and local elections in the period 1999-2019 - evidence of vertical split-ticket voting in favour of the center-left parties in municipality elections. Finally, Chapter III is titled “Explaining split-ticket voting in concurrent European and local elections in Italy” and is aimed to understand – through the analysis of different hypothesis - the motivations behind the evidence documented in Chapter II.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
