Antonio Musolesi’s main research interests are applied econometrics (heterogeneity in panel data models, cross section correlation) and economics of technological progress (innovation production, innovation and productivity, R&D spillovers). He is actually also working on the econometric evaluation of development and environmental policies. In the past he has been engaged in the study of water demand equations and in the analysis of convergence of the European metropolitan areas.
