- W55382813 abstract "This paper analyzes the relationship between the structure of the Sicilian economy and the diffusion of organized crime. Building on some insights from the economic literature on organized crime (see in particular Schelling (1967) and Schelling (1971)) we show that the structure of the economy in Sicily is heavily biased toward activities that lend themselves to a relatively easy control by the Mafia. In particular, the empirical analysis shows that the structure of the Sicilian economy, compared to other Italian regions and to the other Southern regions, is characterized by the contemporaneous presence of: (i) a relatively high presence of traditional sectors and sectors whose activity is strongly related to the territory, like constructions; (ii) a relatively high proportion of small firms; (iii) a disproportionate presence of the public sector. All these features are those identified in the literature on organized crime (see also Gambetta and Reuter (1995)) as favorable prerequisites for a legal economic activity to fall under the control of organized crime. In this manner, therefore, we identify another channel that contributes to the explanation of the persistence of organized crime, besides those, e.g., already present in the sociological literature (see, e.g., Putnam (1993), pp. 146-148) We also provide some considerations on the more general issue of the role of organized crime in economic development." @default.
