Filippo Santi

Filippo Santi is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics, University of Bologna, and a Visiting Fellow at the Global Governance Programme of the European University Institute. His research focuses on international and development economics, with emphasis on trade policy, migration effects, and FDI dynamics. He investigates how migrant networks influence cross-border investments, the role of trade agreements in development, and the political economy of migration.

Key research themes include the impact of foreign aid on internal migration, trade responses to global crises like the pandemic, and the interplay between non-trade provisions in trade agreements and economic outcomes. His work frequently involves collaborations with institutions like the World Bank and leverages large datasets for policy analysis.

He holds a fixed-term academic position and has contributed to policy debates on topics such as digital trade regulations, EU trade policies, and post-Brexit trade relationships. Despite his research breadth, no specific grants or advising roles are explicitly detailed in the available texts.
