The study investigates the normative, financial and political determinants of Italian infrastructural deficit. The analysis is conducted in the eyes of industrial and political economists. Our findings support the belief that policy makers should give guidance to the sector and the infrastructural policy should shift from a conjunctural and short-term approach to a structural and long-term strategy.

At the same time a number of remarkable changes from an entrepreneurial and industrial point of view have been recorded, and such changes have been reflected in the industry economic and financial courses. In the first part of this paper the evolution of the rules - with a particular reference to the bill n. 772 decayed with the end of the former legislature is briefly described. On the basis of a critical analysis of this provision, some guidelines for a future reform programme, are proposed. In the second part, the main organizational processes and the entrepreneurial and industrial strategies, which have been characterizing the management of the local public services, are analyzed with a reference to the formal privatization, the aggregation and fusion policies, the success of multi utility solutions. At last, a quantification of the dimension of the industry is given, in comparison with the data of national accounting and to those of the main Italian companies as well as the situation and the economic courses of the last years.

The multi-domain framework, chosen at eu level, gives high priority to health in the eu strategy on sd and raises the need of indicators in order to monitor its achieved progresses. A short description of the political basis of sd in eu, an insight into possible definitions of sustainability with reference to health and into health indicators monitoring the strategy are given in this paper. An analysis of Disability Free Life Expectancy is then carried out, with reference to its methodological definition and ethical basis, as well as informative contents and possible interpretation of indicator changes.

In this way, objectives and devices of industrial character are integrated with three policy orientations of more general nature: the coordination among various institutional levels and among the rules stemming from these; the concerted activity between public and private sectors, with the aim of reducing pockets of deresponsabilization and developing the principle of horizontal support; and the concentration of resources and initiatives aimed at avoiding adverse selection among those to whom it is addressed and waste of public resources. Policy makers thus face large-scale commitment, as they are now summoned to broaden their sectorial and temporal perspective, towards greater interdisciplinary engagement and far-sightedness.

Una proposta per l?analisi del fabbisogno professionale e formativo Abstract: A caccia di informazioni accurate sui ?fantasmi?. Una proposta per l?analisi del fabbisogno professionale e formativo - In the debate on unemployment in European countries virtually all observers and policy makers agree on the utility of active labour policies, even if a clear proof of their effectiveness is still missing. This general agreement concerns also vocational training schemes, and the idea that these should be realized as a response to the ?training needs? of firms. Many public and private organizations have tried to seek better information on this ?ghost entity? during the last decade. These efforts have been relatively unsuccessful, mainly because of the limits of the survey schemes currently employed in this field. In this work we present a scheme which has been employed in numerous surveys with the aim to overcome many of those limits. It is based on the idea that, in order to get affordable forecasts from the indications made by the firms, it is necessary to assess these indications on the basis of past behaviours, and the latter on the basis of the technological, organizational and market characteristics of firms themselves.
