Febbraro's research focuses on non-bank financial institutions' role in monetary policy transmission, utilizing large-scale datasets (AnaCredit, Securities Holding Statistics) and advanced econometric techniques (Stata, Python, MATLAB). His Bundesbank internship involved constructing integrated databases linking credit registers with firm-level financial and CO2 emissions variables, yielding policy-relevant insights for financial stability frameworks.

As an educator, he has taught 10+ undergraduate and graduate courses including Portfolio Theory, Behavioral Finance, and Econometrics, while supervising bachelor theses in Economics and Business Economics. His technical expertise spans SQL, EViews, and financial databases (Orbis, BankFocus, Refinitiv Eikon), supporting robust empirical analysis across macroeconomic and financial domains.

He collaborates internationally through the ESCB ChaMP network, addressing evolving challenges in monetary transmission mechanisms across Eurosystem institutions, with emerging emphasis on climate-related financial risks.
