As a macroeconomist, I specialize in addressing social issues at the macro level, including income inequality, poverty, social inclusion of migrants, and the intersection of technological innovation and growth.
In general, my research interest covers three themes: (1) Applied macro issues related to sustainable development & growth, technologial innovation, energy and environment. (2) The issues related to human capital and the labour market with a focus on labour productivity, knowledge transfers, human capital mobility, spatial mobility, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). (3) Social issues related to inequality, migration, integration, women empowerment, and social inclusion.
