We want to explore the foundations for a more just and sustainable economic system, that eliminates systemic distortions and creates advantages for consumers, workers, firms, and the environment.
The project comprises two distinct research units, each coordinated by Prof. Tommaso Luzzati (Principal Investigator, University of Pisa) and Prof. Stefano Bartolini (University of Siena). The research team includes Simone D’Alessandro, Davide Fiaschi, Vicente Rios Ibanez, and Lisa Gianmoena – who are professors at the University of Pisa – and three research assistants that have been hired for the project, Irene Cresci, Laetitia Dillenseger, and J. Christopher Proctor. Some external researchers expressed their interest for the topics and will also contribute, in particular prof. Igor Matutinovic (University of Zagreb) and Emilio Padilla Rosa (Universitat Autonoma Barcelona, also visiting professor at University of Pisa).
