Abstract
The costs of bureaucracy have been discussed for a long time. They are often cited as the main cause behind the difficulties Italy faces in doing business.
In this work an estimate of a set of administrative costs borne by small businesses in trade and catering sectors was made for Italy. In order to reduce the margins of uncertainty, a sensitivity analysis of the results was carried out using the Montecarlo Method (for a sector subset in the class of 1-9 employees).
From this initial assessment, the cost for all economic sectors in Italy was then estimated (for the 1-19 employee class only).
