Abstract

In Italy the national income statistics do not provide the elements allowing for a division of the total income between regions and provinces. The present article attempts to estimate the distribution by areas through calculations based on a group of indices which, taken together, might be regarded as sufficiently indicative of the regional and provincial product. The article falls into two parts: (a) regional distribution of national income and of its principal components, and movement of regional income from 1938 to 1953 and 1954; (b) regional analysis of selected consumptions other than food, and of figures for bank and postal savings deposits. The statistical technique used in dividing up the total income between provinces and regions is summarised in a short methodological appendix. As the author warns, the results obtained are only very rough estimates. Nonetheless, they offer the first statistical basis to evaluate the diverse economic levels in the geographical areas of Italy.
