Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Public Demand Allocation and Productivity of the Private Sector 1: University of Bologna; 2: University of Tübingen We study whether the effects of public demand depend on recipient firms' fundamentals. Using quasi-random variation in Italian public works allocation, we compare firms receiving similar public resources but differing in cost efficiency. More cost-efficient recipients experience about 70 percent higher productivity growth over three years, with stronger effects for smaller firms, larger awards, and local or lower-screening public bodies. Gains operate through business expansion: private revenues rise by 74 percent more, with no clear effects on borrowing, long-term debt, fixed investment, or future public activity. Simulations imply productivity gains of about 5 percent in the construction sector.
