Welcome to my page
I am an associate professor of Economics at the University of Foggia (Italy) since 2006 and I teach Economics at the University of Rome LUISS – Guido Carli.
I obtained a PhD in Science and Technology Policy at SPRU-Sussex University (UK) in 2003 and a Master in Development Economics from the same University in 1999. My research interests range from economics of innovation to knowledge economics, behavioural economics and environmental economics. I have published articles in several international Peer Reviewed Journals. In 2010 I published a book (coauthored with Richard Taylor) on Knowledge Diffusion and Innovation (Edward Elgar).
