Alberto Batinti

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science at the Sapienza University of Rome. From August 2021 to July 2022 I was an Associate Professor at the  Department of Health Management & Policy at the University of New Hampshire. From February 2019 until May 2021 I have been an Associate Professor of Economics at the International Business School Suzhou -  Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. In the past, I have been an Assistant and Associate Professor at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics; before that, I worked as a consultant both for the Italian Ministry of Economics and the Italian Institute of Statistics. 

I received a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University in 2012. My research interests are at the intersection of the fields of political economy, public choice, healthcare policy and health innovation, and the political economy of healthcare. On these topics, I published research papers in peer-reviewed academic journals as  Economica, Economics & Politics, Public Choice, The European Journal of Political Economy, Kyklos, and Health Economics. In 2020 I wrote a co-authored book on the political economy of healthcare, published by Cambridge University Press in June 2020.
