Abstract
The efficiency ofthe judicial system should beone of the main objectives of every democratic state, mainly to prevent the continuation of uncertainty, from a legai and procedural point of view, which can cause prejudice and harm to those who are subjected to a tria!. Among the institutions that have the greatest impact on economie performance, the legal and judicial system plays a prominent role. Understanding how laws and regulations affect economie behaviour is fondamental in modem economies in order to verify the distributive impact of the different legal and judicial systems and what features they should have to encourage economie growth. Our analysis, using data disaggregated at district leve!, has the goal of measuring the efficiency of the Italian judicial offices, empirically estimating a quantile regression model to evaluate the performance of the courts. Data referred to 2021 about judges, pending cases on, incoming cases, as well as resolved cases are extracted from the annual reports ofthe Italian Ministry of Justice.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
