Economic Security is a topic which focused the attention of many researchers in the past years. With the COVID-19 pandemic, interest has grown drastically because economic security influences the lives of many individuals and consequently the government’s economic and political choices. In this framework the individual insecurity indicator proposed by Bossert and D’Ambrosio [1] it’s a landmark, because of its useful analytical properties. We embrace their notion of economic insecurity and we propose relative security indicators starting by the absolute one they suggested. We compare the indicators in terms of analytical properties and in terms of applicability to European countries using the EU-SILC (2019) data-set.

Abstract
Economic Security is a topic which focused the attention of many researchers in the past years. With the COVID-19 pandemic, interest has grown drastically because economic security influences the lives of many individuals and consequently the government’s economic and political choices. In this framework the individual insecurity indicator proposed by Bossert and D’Ambrosio [1] it’s a landmark, because of its useful analytical properties. We embrace their notion of economic insecurity and we propose relative security indicators starting by the absolute one they suggested. We compare the indicators in terms of analytical properties and in terms of applicability to European countries using the EU-SILC (2019) data-set.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
