I primi interessi di ricerca comprendono l’estimo, la valutazione di investimenti immobiliari e le tecniche di analisi multicriteri, riguardanti sia le nuove costruzioni che le ristrutturazioni, a scala urbana e a livello di edificio. Recenti attività di ricerca sono dedicate ad approfondire le esigenze valutative poste dal tema dell’efficienza energetica, con particolare attenzione per gli edifici e il settore dell’edilizia. Lo scopo degli studi in corso consiste nell’analizzare alcune importanti implicazioni economiche del problema energetico. Ulteriori interessi di ricerca sono costituiti dalle analisi bibliometriche.

Earlier research interests included real estate appraisal, property investment and valuation, and multicriteria analysis, concerning both new constructions and refurbishment transactions at the urban-wide scale as well as at the building level. Recent research activities have been devoted to delving into the evaluation needs posed by the energy efficiency issue, with a particular focus on the buildings and the building industry. The purpose of ongoing studies lies in analyzing some prominent economic implications of the energy issue. Further research interests lie in bibliometrics and scientometrics.
