PPH is below national average in Lombardy and Campania, while it is slightly above average
in Emilia Romagna. It spans from -15% in Lombardy, to a significant -44% in Campania. These
values may be considered rather consistent with the ranking of these two regions in terms of
quality of life (respectively tenth and twentieth). Quite surprisingly Emilia Romagna’s value,
though positive (2%), doesn’t seem to validate its first place in quality of life. Moreover, the
positive growth simulations run seem to improve quite noticeably PPH both for Lombardy and
Campania (which are both 2.6% higher at the end of the time horizon), and to have scarce
impact on Emilia Romagna (0.7% after three years). Similar evidence are brought by the
negative growth simulations, where the values at the end of the period of analysis are -2.1% for
Lombardy and Campania, and -0.2% for Emilia Romagna. In general it is interesting to point out
that with a 7.2% increase of all the indicators of commodities over three years (2.4% per year),
the maximum increase of PPH is only about one third (2.6%).

4.2 Physical and Psychological Health: indicators of public expenditure

As stated above, besides representing an alternative measure of the functioning, PPH
measured on public expenditure indicators can be interpreted as the reference point to valuate
the degree of conversion of public expenditure into well-being.

When the commodities are represented by indicators of public expenditure, the functioning
Physical and Psychological Health has, at initial time, the values reported in the following table.

PPH = absolute value of the functioning

PPH% vs. average = percentage variance of the functioning from national average

The results of the two explicative sets of simulations with steady positive and negative
growth rates for all the commodities are reported below.
