systems (i.e.firm density, cluster, profit, etc.) in Eni (oil and gas company)
and extra-Eni territories. Econometric based analysis.
• Monitoring local content, stakeholders engagement, value chain related to local procurement, work-force capacity building, systems and networks related
to the presence of companies (oil and not) at national and local level.

Paper Abstracts
Hydrocarbons exploitation and Macroeconomic Performance: a structural VAR approach
for Basilicata.,
Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to empirically investigate the relationship between hydrocarbon extraction, gross domestic product, value added in construction and regional employment in
Basilicata. The empirical evaluation is undertaken using structural analysis of the VECM specification (impulse responses and variance decomposition), which also allows to check the robustness of the
causality tests. The empirical results show that the hydrocarbons exploitation affects mainly GDP
while its effect on the other variables, especially on employment, is almost null. In particular, the
direction of causality from GDP to extractions is confirmed by the shape of the IRF and by the high
proportion of Hydro variation percentage explained by changes in GDP. No causality from value added
in construction to exploitation of natural resources was found. The IRF results show that the effect on
the construction sector of the unanticipated shock in Hydro is reabsorbed after two periods. Moreover,
FEVD showed that less than 5% of the unforeseen variation in extraction is due to hydro-carbons
3
shocks. Finally, absence of causality among employment and hydrocarbon is not surprising since oil
sector is one of the activity with the highest capital intensity. It has, for example, a capital intensity
that is 33 times that of the manufacturing sector.
