He also has extensive experience advising policymakers, including consultancy for the European Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB), and advisory roles with the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority.

His research focuses on public policies for innovation, including public R&D, government-funded and defence-related innovation, and the role of corporate taxation in shaping firms’ innovative activity and economic performance. He has also made influential contributions to research on monetary policy, inequality, and the redistributive effects of interest rate changes and quantitative easing. Published in leading academic journals, his research has influenced the conduct of monetary policy and the design of fiscal policy across Europe.
