Professor Filippo Belloc

I am an applied economist at the University of Siena and Council Member of the IAFEP. I have been Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Business Research of the University of Cambridge, at the Leeds University Business School and at the UCLA - School of Law. Also, I have been Research Associate at the Florence School of Regulation at the EUI and consultant for the Corporate Affairs Division of the OECD. My research is at the intersection between corporate governance, worker-management, labour regulation, and the economics of innovation. I have a strong interest in the issues of how corporate governance influences innovation performance of firms, how worker participation devices to business strategy and profits influence labour productivity, and how both corporate law and labour law influence technology adoption at the firm-level. I also worked on privatization policies, State ownership and liberalization in newtork industries. I am one of the founding members of the Italian Society of Law and Economics and a member of the Scientific Board of the Network on the Economics of Regulation and Institutions.
