Since the beginning of 2016, he is also fellow of the Complexity Lab in Economics (CLE) at Catholic University in Milan.His research is focused on both empirical and theoretical analysis in International and Industrial Economics, with a focus on Computational Economics. The empirical research - within NNTT empirical literature - has been regarding on how different modes of internationalization - mainly FDI - affect productivity, sales and firms\u2019 survival probability. While in theoretical analysis, he has been focusing on dynamic models with heterogeneous agents and bounded rationality in financial markets (within the HAMs literature), on the market structure when the demand is unknown, and new sources of heterogeneity (credit\/liquidity constraints) among firms with different modes of internationalization.<\/div><div class=\"TH-F6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifi.it\/p-doc2-2013-0-A-2c2a3432372b.html\">Homepage<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<!--[abcf-staff-list id=\"1568\"]--><\/p>\n<p><!--&nbsp;--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Think Tank&#8221; is a dedicated group supporting the Steering group in its activities.
