Coffee Break with Researchers on Local Sourcing in Developing Countries
Here is my interview on my paper on local sourcing in developing countries, published in World Development.

Innovation in global value chains
With Rasmus Lema and Carlo Pietrobelli I have contributed to the Handbook on Global Value Chains with a chapter presenting a new conceptual framework for investigating how GVCs and ISs jointly contribute to innovation in developing countries. It can be downloaded here.

Local sourcing in developing countries: The role of foreign direct investments and global value chains
This paper, co-authored with Vito Amendolagine, Andrea Presbitero and Marco Sanfilippo and published in World Development, investigates whether and how participation and positioning in the global value chains (GVCs) of host countries is associated to local sourcing by foreign investors in 19 Sub-Saharan African countries and Vietnam. The article is open source and can be downloaded here.

On May 2019 I presented a paper on the co-evolution of GVCs and Innovation Systems at the ICC -Tsinghua University Conference held in Beijing. I also presented the same paper at SASE Conference at the New School in New York in June.
Here is my presentation.

Innovation Trajectories in Developing Countries: Co-evolution of Global Value Chains and Innovation Systems
In this article co-authored with Rasmus Lema and Padmashree Sampath, we investigate how combining global value chain and innovation system approaches can help to foster an understanding of the possible trajectories that learning and innovation may take in developing countries.

New Voxeu.org column with Vito Amendolagine, Andrea Presbitero and Marco Sanfilippo on how the entry and upgrading of low-income countries in Global Value Chains can offer an additional advantage in maximising the potential spillovers from FDI. See also the post on the LSE Blog on Global Investments and Local Development.
Do Global Value Chains Offer Developing Countries Learning and Innovation Opportunities?
Do Global Value Chains Offer Developing Countries Learning and Innovation Opportunities?
With Valentina De Marchi and Elisa Giuliani I published an article in the European Journal of Development Research. The paper offers s a systematic review of the literature on developing country GVCs to investigate the learning channels used by local firms, both within (firm level, collective level) and outside of these value chains (i.e. external sources of learning), and the extent to which this activity promotes innovation.
