Pinna's research bridges Public and Political Economy with Mental Health through Behavioural and Experimental Economics. His work investigates how media exposure shapes political decisions and health behaviors, particularly during crises like the Covid-19 pandemic, while also developing innovative methodological tools for economic analysis. His entrepreneurial initiative Safespace Research applies these insights to student mental health support.
His publication record reveals a strong focus on media-politics-health intersections, with high-impact studies on Fox News' effects on elections and vaccine uptake, plus significant methodological contributions to data visualization. This work combines rigorous econometric analysis with real-world policy implications, reflected in coverage by major media outlets including The New York Times and The Atlantic.
Pinna actively contributes to academic discourse as a referee for journals including Information Economics and Policy and the Stata Journal. His leadership of Safespace Research demonstrates a commitment to translating research into practical mental health solutions, where his team develops AI-assisted tools for early intervention in student well-being crises.
