Research / Scholarly interests
Alberto's main research fields are structuralist and post-Keynesian macroeconomics, in particular as applied to the development problems of developing and emerging economies. Alberto's research activity also investigated the causes and possible economic-institutional solutions of the eurozone economic crisis, as well as the issue of financial instability in both developed and developing countries. More recently, Alberto focused his research on the description of the mechanisms characterizing the so-called shadow banking system, the interplay between financialization and inequality, and the macroeconomic effects of quantitative easing.
