Abstract

This thesis consists of three independent academic papers, each addressing in different way, through a macroeconomic and long-term perspective, the relationship between productivity and wage share in Italy and Eurozone since 1960s. Taken together, the papers provide a comprehensive view that emphasizes how neoliberal labour policies discouraged - through lower wages to productive investment and organizational improvements, fostering the spread of low value-added production and ultimately undermining productivity, domestic demand, and the country’s economic growth.
