Academic Research

My research focuses on applied econometrics, spatial economics, tourism economics, public finance, and business intelligence. Through quantitative analysis, panel data econometrics, and evidence-based policy evaluation, I investigate how economic data can inform sustainable development and public decision-making.

Current Research

I am currently conducting my master’s thesis at Università Politecnica delle Marche, examining the relationship between overtourism spillovers and tourist taxation in Italy using municipality-level panel data and econometric analysis.

Master’s Thesis

Overtourism Spillovers and Tourist Taxation in Italy

Università Politecnica delle Marche
Status: Ongoing (Master’s Thesis)

This research investigates how tourism pressure and spatial spillover effects influence the adoption and implementation of municipal tourist taxes across Italian municipalities. Using a municipality-level panel dataset covering the period 2017–2024, the study applies advanced econometric techniques to examine the relationship between tourism intensity, neighboring tourism dynamics, and local fiscal policy. By integrating regional economics, public finance, and spatial analysis, the research aims to provide evidence-based insights that support sustainable tourism management and more effective local policy decisions.

Research Objectives

  • Examine the relationship between tourism intensity and municipal tourist taxation.
  • Investigate spatial spillover effects between neighboring municipalities.
  • Evaluate how local economic and tourism characteristics influence fiscal policy decisions.
  • Provide evidence-based policy recommendations for sustainable tourism and regional development.

Data Sources

The analysis is based on a municipality-level panel dataset for Italy covering the period 2017–2024. The dataset integrates information from multiple official sources to examine tourism activity, municipal characteristics, and local fiscal policies.
