My research interests are in the area of economic growth. In particular, I focus on public policy and the way the governments can affect welfare and growth through taxation and the provision of public goods (such as in infrastructure) with different productive characteristics. Another line of research is concerned with the role of R&D and learning in determining long run economic growth. My ongoing research studies the effect of leisure externalities on growth, welfare, and on optimal fiscal policy. It also attempts to analyze the role that leisure externalities play in explaining the difference between the number of hours worked in the US and in Western Europe.
