Her main research interests are on industrial economics and technological change, adopting a political economy perspective and considering the role of the state in the process of structural change. Specifically, she contributed to two main strands of this research field: the analysis of technological change at the country, sectoral and firm level with a focus on the determinants and the effects of technology adoption; the analysis of countries’ structural change and the role of industrial policy to direct that change.
