Description:
We analyse the impact of the Mafia on the level of education in Sicily from a historical point of view. Our analysis shows evidence that the Mafia, in the period of time from 1874 to 1913, constrained the level of schooling. In particular, despite the difficulties in obtaining data, the econometric analysis supports the assumption that, after the unification of the Italian Kingdom (1861), the Mafia represented an obstacle to accumulation of human capital in Sicily
