Research areas
Manfredi’s research interests lie in the areas of the economics of innovation and optimal organisation. He is especially interested in the intersection of the two: e.g. can the theory of optimal organisation provide new insights into research joint ventures? He is currently working on the implications of optimal organisation for the modelling of globalisation and especially the effects of globalisation on inter-country inequality.
Industrial Organization, especially the economics of R&D, and Research Joint Ventures. For further information see the Centre for Research into Industry, Enterprise, Finance and the Firm website and the Electronic Society for Social Scientists website.
