Abstract
Questo saggio propone un’analisi empirica dell’evoluzione di lungo periodo dei sistemi agro-alimentari mondiali. Con una prospettiva più ampia rispetto agli studi esistenti, che focalizzano prevalentemente il processo di convergenza in termini di produttività, ci si propone di valutare l’evoluzione di un ampio set di variabili strutturali in grado di cogliere la dimensione sistemica del processo produttivo agro-alimentare. In particolare, partendo da un’analisi dei processi di lungo di periodo in atto nei sistemi agro-alimentari si applicheranno, sotto il vincolo della disponibilità di informazioni statistiche, alcune metodologie quantitative per l’analisi dei processi di convergenza economica. Ciò al fine di testare empiricamente l’ipotesi che negli ultimi quattro decenni si sia assistito ad un processo di convergenza dei caratteri strutturali dei sistemi agroalimentari delle economie industriali avanzate (Paesi OECD ad alto reddito). Dinamica che si contrappone alla sostanziale stabilità nei caratteri strutturali dell’insieme dei 108 paesi del mondo per cui sono disponibili informazioni quantitative. In questo senso è possibile parlare di una tendenza di lungo periodo alla formazione di un “convergence club” dei sistemi agro-alimentari dei paesi avanzati. L’utilizzo dell’analisi in componenti principali relativa a diversi intervalli di tempo consente, inoltre, di tracciare una “mappa” dei paesi che via via sono entrati nel “convergence club” e di costruire un “indice del grado di arretratezza” di ciascun sistema agro-alimentare. Tali risultati forniscono importanti indicazioni in merito all’evoluzione dei sistemi agroalimentari all’avanzare del processo di sviluppo dell’economia fornendo utili spunti per l’interpretazione delle dinamiche di lungo periodo in atto sia nei paesi industriali avanzati che in quelli che si avviano a diventarlo.
