Emanuele Brancati serves as Associate Professor of Economics at Sapienza University of Rome and maintains a research affiliation with the IZA Institute of Labor Economics. His academic work bridges theoretical economics with empirical analysis of real-world business dynamics.
Brancati's research centers on applied microeconomics with strong emphasis on firm behavior under financial constraints and global interconnectedness. His investigations span financial economics (debt structure, credit access), international economics (global value chains, export dynamics), and innovation economics (R&D responses to crises). Notably, his work examines how production networks transmit shocks through supply chains and how political risk influences economic decision-making. The COVID-19 pandemic and Great Recession serve as critical natural experiments in his research on firm resilience.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent methodological rigor using firm-level datasets across multiple countries. His work demonstrates evolving focus from traditional banking-firm relationships (2017-2020) toward complex network effects in globalized economies (2021-2025), with increasing attention to digital transformation and political economy dimensions. The integration of production network theory with financial shock transmission represents a distinctive contribution to contemporary economic literature.
Brancati actively contributes to policy-relevant research through working papers on labor market power in Latin America and conflict impacts on firms, reflecting his commitment to addressing pressing economic challenges in developing economies. His collaborative approach is evident in extensive co-authorship patterns across international research teams.
