About my research

I am Full Professor of Quantitative Methods for Economics and Business. My research lies at the intersection of economic growth, environmental economics, economic geography, and dynamic modelling. I study how pollution externalities, environmental policy, and intertemporal preferences affect long-run growth, social welfare, and the spatial distribution of economic activity.

My work includes endogenous growth models with environmental externalities, as well as models of industrial location, population mobility, transboundary pollution, and pollution havens. I am particularly interested in how governments’ policy decisions interact with firms’ location choices, migration, regional welfare, and the long-run dynamics of economic activity. Some of my research has also explored tourism economics, focusing on the agglomeration and dispersion forces that shape the distribution of tourism across competing destinations.
