Research

My research focuses on the impact of knowledge and skill flows on economic development. The theoretical framework from which I approach this phenomenon considers the social interactions that characterise the economy as a complex system. In this perspective, it is understood that the system evolves partially conditioned by its past and the territory in which economic activities take place.
