Davide Rigo
LSEI am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the London School of Economics and a CESifo Network member.
I am currently leading a three-year research project (2022-2025) on the impact of work-from-home on the geography of workers, firms and innovation. My research relies on quantitative methods for causal inference and large-scale administrative data, including employer-employee matched data for Italy and France and nationally representative survey data (the Labour Force Survey) for European regions. I also work with web-scraped and online data sources, including online job vacancy postings and companies' technology adoption trends.
My main research interests lie at the intersection of economic geography and international economics, particularly focusing on the role of innovation and digitalisation in firms' growth dynamics, as well as on studying the foreign activities of multinational enterprises.
