Davide’s research explores the growing patterns of territorial inequality that have been opening up across many advanced economies, in the forms of regional as well as urban-rural divides. He focuses on three main interrelated areas of inquiry: (1) analysing whether territorial inequality is purely driven by market forces, or it is also affected by institutional and political factors; (2) exploring the contextual effects of place on individual attitudes; (3) analysing how public policies can contribute to redressing territorial inequality.
