Abstract

We use a robust order-m frontier (DEA-type) in a BoD approach to measure the labour performance in the 610 Italian local labour systems (SLL) from 2006 to 2021 with reference to activity rate, employment rate and unemployment rate. We also apply a conditional BoD frontier to take into account environmental factors and a dynamics index which measures the relative improvement or worsening of the SLLs performance scores between 2006 and 2021 and useful for classifying the 610 SLLs into four different clusters.
