Research Overview

Filippo's research focuses on understanding how governments shape markets and, in turn, how markets shape governments. He mainly covers two connected areas. The first is antitrust and regulatory policy, emphasizing the political, economic, and legal determinants of enforcement actions and regulatory change. The second is the governance of digital markets, where he focuses on designing competition, data privacy, content moderation, and other policies that accomplish their stated goals.

Filippo's work is both interdisciplinary and comparative in its orientation. Relying on his training in law and economics, Filippo investigates how changes in legal regimes shape economic incentives and the on- the-ground behavior of market agents and regulators. In the process, he collaborates with legal scholars, economists, data and political scientists in research projects that employ methods ranging from traditional legal analysis to carefully identified empirical projects
