Conversely, when the technology for long-distance electricity transmission became available, it invested heavily in hydropower, considering it as the best substitute for costly imported coal. Drawing on New Economic Geography (NEG) and factor endowment theories, we analyse the location of industrial activity across Italian provinces in the census years 1901, 1911, and 1921. We evaluate the influence of the spread of electric power as a distinct factor alongside traditional determinants such as market potential, human capital, and energy intensity. We find that access to electricity significantly affected the location of industry, more than other, more traditional factors. This effect is particularly strong in the decade between 1901 and 1911, when the regional grid system was being developed. .

We develop a model of hospital competition with regulated prices in a spatial framework, building on Brekke et al. (2008), where patients choose providers based on travel distance and waiting lists, and hospitals maximise a combination of profits and patient utility. We show that mergers internalise two key competition externalities: (i) altruistic competition to attract patients and (ii) incentives to avoid unprofitable patients. Empirically, we use a 19-year panel (2000ndash;2018) of English NHS hospitals and estimate a multi-period Difference-in-Differences model with staggered treatment timing. We find that mergers involving profit-oriented hospitals (Foundation Trusts) increase waiting lists, whereas mergers involving semi-altruistic hospitals reduce them. These findings are consistent with the theoretical predictions. From a policy perspective, merger effects are highly heterogeneous and critically depend on hospital objectives.
