🧭 Final takeaway — for policymakers 👇
Infrastructure must be allocated where it delivers the highest economic returns.
Our paper shows how to do this systematically, aligning agglomeration, firm behaviour & local needs.
Strategic, not scattershot.

🔎 A balanced approach is essential: sectoral & horizontal policies must go hand in hand. The EU’s competitiveness must align with social well-being & regional development for long-term success. Read more here 👉https://www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.14650/116136
📊 The paper argues that while competitiveness is key, sustainable growth demands inclusive policies. Ignoring regional disparities & social cohesion risks deepening inequalities. We must integrate SDGs 🌱 into the EU’s economic strategy. #SustainableDevelopment #SDGs
My latest article, The Existential Challenge, is now published in Scienze Regionali 🎉. It critically examines Draghi’s Future of European Competitiveness report, highlighting the overlooked social & regional dimensions. 🏙️🌍 #EUpolicy #RegionalScience @aqrirea.bsky.social @ubeconomics.bsky.social
