About Me
My research agenda focuses on applied questions at the intersection of regional economics, public policy, and political economy.
I use to explore how structural change, territorial inequalities, and governance arrangements interact with citizen discontent, electoral engagement, and policy legitimacy. One recurring topic involves understanding how spatially differentiated policies—such as targeted spending, planning interventions, and infrastructural investments—affect socio-economic outcomes across regions.
The scale of my analyses ranges from local to supranational. I prefer to use set of panel data at the municipal (LAU 2) and provincial (NUTS 3) level
