Beschreibung:
In Italy the incidence of temporary employment significantly varies across areas, being on average significantly higher in southern regions. Using a unique source of administrative data we show that the gap doesn't accrue from differences in firms' hiring strategies: as a matter of fact workers are initially hired on a temporary basis more often in the North. The largest share of fixed-term contracts in the South reflects instead (i) the lower probability that they are eventually converted into an open-ended one and (ii) the lower duration of permanent positions
