Abstract:
There is a positive
relationship
between between
the "Protection
System for Refugees
and Asylum
Seekers" (SPRAR)
and income growth.
Hosting an
additional refugee or
asylum seekers as
part of the SPRAR
systems is associated
with an additional
0.09% growth in per
capita taxable
income.
Above and beyond
the direct transfers
associated with the
presence of a SPRAR
centre, its operation
may be beneficial for
the local economy of
Italian municipalities.
