Filippo Tassinari

Filippo Tassinari is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Economics at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), affiliated with the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE) and the Institut d'Economia de Barcelona (IEB). His work bridges urban and transport economics with applied policy analysis.

Research Interests: Filippo is an applied economist with a strong focus on urban and transport economics. He leverages spatial data and mapping techniques to study the distribution and consequences of negative externalities in cities.

He is passionate about how urban design influences both environmental outcomes and political behavior.

Publication Trends: His recent work centers on evaluating real-world urban interventions using empirical methods. The analysis of Barcelona’s car-free zones demonstrates a trend toward policy-relevant research that combines urban economics, environmental sustainability, and political economy, often using spatial and quasi-experimental designs.
