Research interests

Two main areas of heterodox economics: first, an open approach to different schools of economic thought, drawing on traditions related to the writings of Marx and Keynes, underpinned by my expertise in input-output analysis; second, an interest in  interdisciplinary work, exemplified by my work on Veblen, Bourdieu and economic development, with a particular focus on Global Value Chains.
