JEL F12 - Models of Trade with Imperfect Competition and Scale Economies Analysis and theory of international trade in the presence of heterogeneous companies. Study of the impact of tariff policies on international trade, firm performance and consumer welfare, with related cost-benefit analysis and with particular attention to the design and revision of international exchange agreements and their economic effects.

JEL F13 - Trade Policy; International Trade Organizations Analysis of the incentives behind countries' unilateral choice of trade policies (e.g. import and export taxes) as well as the outcomes under retaliation.

JEL F23 - Multinational Firms; International Business We study the dynamics of the internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular of those exporting high quality products. Their performance both in terms of presence and flow of exports in several markets, both traditional and emerging, is analyzed, together with their economic and industrial policy determinants. We analyze, theoretically and empirically, how the presence of multinational firms affects domestic firms’ performance. Macroeconomics, International Economics and Development
