Research interests

Demand and industrial dynamics. I am interested in the interplay of supply and demand dynamics. Besides the published works, from the thesis I extracted two draft papers. The first concerns a model to study the dynamics of demand during the creation of a new market. The second  paper concerns the interaction between demand and technology during the evolution of competitive markets. 

Methodology of simulations in social sciences. I wrote a package aimed at facilitating the development and scientific use of simulation models (see Lsd info). From the experience cumulated developing, using and teaching simulation modelling I developed a methodological propsal, expressed in a draft  paper.

Complexiy. By studying the role of technological innovation pursued by profit-seeking firms I developed and interest in complexity, producing a few publications based on the NK model.  

Evolutionary growth.  I am interested in exploring the macro-economic implications of the evolutionary perspective.  I am trying to follow the Saviotti's work on the link between growth and variety.

Networks. I am interested in the study of networks, extending the standard social network analysis to dynamic and generative issues.
