MAIN RESEARCH INTERESTS

 

I work on topics which allow to explore the intersection between interdisciplinary approaches and a comparative perspective. Here are some examples:

1) The comparative analysis of regulatory systems, with specific reference to the energy and climate sector, the electronic communications sector, the water sector and the transport sector.

2) The comparative law and economics of contract law

3) Behavioral law and economics

4) Comparative law and development, with specific reference to the legal underpinnings of the Sustainable Development Goals
