| Summary: | In this paper we first review the (potential and actual) role of the Universities for the local economies
in which they operate, especially considering the implications deriving from the degree of skill mismatch
(over-education) in a local labour market. Then, in the second part of the paper, we realise an empirical investigation
based on administrative information of an Italian University matched with the data of the job
centres of the local (provincial) labour market in order to reconstruct the characteristics of the university-to-work
transitions of graduates. Our results have important policy implications, since for local development
it is crucial, among other things, to make the best use of all human resources and especially those with
the highest educational level. |
