In the light of the results from a wide empirical investigation, this essay examines some crucial characteristics of the Italian policy measure called “Contratti di programma” through both the analytical framework of the incomplete contracts literature and the multi-task Principal-Agent theory. The “Contratti di programma” policy is based on a formal agreement between the Italian Government and private firms to carry on an investment programme comprising a number of different projects (industrial investments; workers training programs; research centres and projects). The essay also provides a number of suggestions for improving the effectiveness of this policy.

Abstract
In the light of the results from a wide empirical investigation, this essay examines some crucial characteristics of the Italian policy measure called “Contratti di programma” through both the analytical framework of the incomplete contracts literature and the multi-task Principal-Agent theory. The “Contratti di programma” policy is based on a formal agreement between the Italian Government and private firms to carry on an investment programme comprising a number of different projects (industrial investments; workers training programs; research centres and projects). The essay also provides a number of suggestions for improving the effectiveness of this policy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
