My research examines how digital markets and ecosystems are organised and governed, with particular attention to economic incentives, the rules and standards that structure interactions, and the resulting power relations. My work primarily draws on empirical methods grounded in microeconomics and increasingly involves interdisciplinary collaborations.
My research has progressively broadened from software vulnerability markets to privacy regulation and competition, the online advertising ecosystem, and Internet governance. More recently, I have extended this work to platform business models, online disinformation, and generative AI. Alongside these topics, I am contributing to an emerging interdisciplinary research agenda on the societal implications of digital technologies and to ecological and societal transformations.
Working paper — Ongoing interdisciplinary research on how generative AI is transforming the production, circulation, and monetisation of online disinformation, and on the incentives and responsibilities of the actors involved.
