Author : Andrea Cavallo; [2023]
Keywords : Sicilian Mafia; organized crime; government trust; Covid-19; vaccination campaign.; Social Sciences; Law and Political Science; Business and Economics;
Abstract :
Do municipalities in which organized crime is strongly established present lower Covid-19 vaccination rates, as a proxy for government trust? This paper aims to answer this question in the specific case of the Italian region of Sicily. Specifically, the analysis exploits a panel dataset of 390 Sicilian municipalities over 107 weeks (between the 27th of December 2020 and the 1st of January 2023) to study if areas with a higher presence of the Mafia, measured through historical sources and more recent data, negatively correlate with the cumulative weekly percentage of Covid-19 vaccinations per municipality.

Author : Tobias Ingelbratt; [2020]
Keywords : Prison populations; institutions; professionals; Law and Political Science;
Abstract :
