CURRENT PROJECT
Over the past few years, my research has focused on the field of economic analysis of health law. More broadly, I explore the intersection of health economics and the legal frameworks that govern healthcare systems. In particular, part of my work examines the impact of liability regulations on the emerging market for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in medicine. A central theme in my research is the assessment of how different liability regimes can enhance social welfare in healthcare delivery—both by shaping current clinical practice (with a focus on defensive medicine) and by anticipating how future medical disputes involving AI technologies might be resolved.
I am currently investigating recent trends in medical malpractice claims and the compensation awarded to patients harmed by medical accidents. This line of research emphasizes the role of medical experts, judges, and the ways in which physicians and hospitals engage in risk prevention. I also analyze the interaction between clinical practice guidelines and tort liability rules, with the aim of better understanding their mutual influence.
All these projects rely on game-theoretic models to represent decision-making under uncertainty and incentives.
A second strand of my research focuses on the ex-ante effects of bankruptcy law, particularly how different bankruptcy regimes influence credit markets. I also study the ex-post efficiency of both corporate and personal bankruptcy systems. This work combines theoretical modeling with empirical analysis, including the construction of original datasets for European countries and the United States.
