Dr. Vella's publication record from 2017-2024 demonstrates methodological diversity across journal articles, book chapters, and policy reports. Her research shows particular strength in quantitative analysis of social phenomena, often in collaboration with economists Patrizia Ordine and Giuseppe Rose. The thematic evolution of her work reveals increasing focus on demographic transitions and policy implications for social equity.
