A Micro-level Analysis of Regional Economic Activity Through a PCA Approach

This paper addresses regional studies at a micro-local level from both the perspective of institutional governance and economic analysis, by examining a case study in Central Italy. Our analysis concludes that the past policy approach in the area under investigation offers a potential pathway for academics to work with policy-makers in moving towards the realization of local growth policies. Such kind of analysis has a great potential for local institutions as well as a deeper understanding at a local scale can enhance a more effective decision-making process also at a global scale.
