Industrial employment in Italy, 1911: the burden of the census data
Fenoaltea, Stefano - Collegio Carlo Alberto, Università degli Studi di Torino - 2014
In Italy two censuses were taken in 1911: the usual demographic census, that contains labor-force data, and the first industrial census, that contains employment data. The two yield aggregate figures that are very far apart. The literature directly concerned with estimating industrial employment...

The measurement of production: lessons from the engineering industry in Italy, 1911
Fenoaltea, Stefano - Collegio Carlo Alberto, Università degli Studi di Torino - 2014
This paper presents the second-generation estimates for the Italian engineering industry in 1911, a year documented both by the customary demographic census, and the first industrial census. The first part of this paper uses the census data to estimate the industry’s value added, sector...

The measurement of production movements: lessons from the engineering industry in Italy, 1861-1913
Fenoaltea, Stefano - Collegio Carlo Alberto, Università degli Studi di Torino - 2014
In the literature the (Italian) engineering industry is seen as one that transformed metal into machines; its time path is inferred from that of its consumption of metal. Newly recovered evidence indicates that far more metal was turned into (traditional) hardware than into (modern) machines....

The fruits of disaggregation: the general engineering industry in Italy, 1861-1913
Fenoaltea, Stefano - Collegio Carlo Alberto, Università degli Studi di Torino - 2014
In post-Unification Italy the cyclical movements of the economy largely reflected those in the production of durable goods. The engineering industry has been seen as one that transformed metal into machines: its metal consumption suggests that investment in machinery followed the Kuznets-cycle...

The fruits of disaggregation: the engineering industry, tariff protection, and the industrial investment cycle in Italy, 1861-1913
Fenoaltea, Stefano - In: PSL quarterly review 73 (2020) 292, pp. 77-110
All the extant interpretations of united Italy's early industrial development focus on the long swing in industrial investment evident in the familiar indices of the engineering industry's aggregate product. Disaggregated production series for that industry have now been compiled. The evidence...
