1) Trust, Social Capital, and Wellbeing
Together with a multidisciplinary research team, I am mapping the geography of social capital in Italy, considering its different forms—bridging, bonding, and network—and analysing how these dimensions influence economic and social sustainability.
2) Economic and Multidimensional Development
Starting from a multidimensional approach to development and poverty, my research focuses on the analytical formulations and empirical measurements of the relationship between development, inequality, and public policies.
3) International Trade
Using geolocalised data on Foreign Direct Investment, my research investigates the economic, environmental, and social impacts of international trade, with a specific focus on military exports.
