RESEARCH

The research activity focuses on competition, regulation, incentives to investments and industrial policy in network industries, with a focus on air transport, rail transport and local public transport. Recently, the research activity has also been focusing on the environmental impact effect of growing transport demand through partial substitution of different transport modes, i.e., air transport with high speed rail services.
