Professor Capasso's research spans several decades with consistent focus on corporate governance, private equity, and strategic management. His work examines the relationship between governance structures and financial performance, particularly in Italian firms, and has expanded to include ESG factors and their impact on business performance. He has made significant interdisciplinary contributions to healthcare economics, analyzing clinical trial costs and drug savings in the Italian health system. His research methodology often employs empirical analysis of real-world business cases and financial data.

His publication record demonstrates evolving research interests from early work on flexible productive investments (1987) to contemporary studies on cross-country influences on private equity investment (forthcoming 2025). The most recent publications show increased attention to sustainability factors (ESG) and their relationship with financial performance, particularly in specialized sectors like automotive manufacturing. His healthcare economics research reveals practical applications of business management principles in public health contexts.

Professor Capasso maintains active research collaborations with scholars including Matteo Rossi, Giacomo Pascarella, and Maria Triassi. His work appears in various academic formats including journal articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings, demonstrating both theoretical contributions and practical applications for business practitioners and policymakers, particularly within the Italian economic context.
