I study regional resilience, firm capabilities, international trade, and the geography of economic adjustment.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Luiss center for European Analysis and Policy (LEAP) at Luiss University, working at the intersection of international economics, regional economics, and firm strategy. My research focuses on how trade, global value chains, and the international organization of production shape firms’ and regions’ capacity to adjust to economic shocks and policy change. My current work examines geoeconomic fragmentation and trade policy, with particular attention to how disruptions in international sourcing are absorbed through supplier substitution, higher input costs, and changes in real production across global value chains.

A second strand of my research studies the firm-level foundations of resilience and strategic autonomy. I examine how internationalization, innovation, digital capabilities, and circular economy strategies affect firms’ ability to reduce strategic dependencies and adapt to systemic shocks. More broadly, I am interested in how the organization of production across firms, countries, and regions conditions the distribution of adjustment costs and the resilience of local economies.

My research interests include regional and firm resilience, international trade, global and regional value chains, industrial policy and strategic autonomy, circular economy strategies, and the spatial consequences of structural change.
