Bio
Hi, there! :)
I am Stefano Azzolina, and I am a PhD student at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa.
I got my Master's degree in Economics from the University of Bologna, and my Bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Catania.
Before joining the research community at Sant'Anna, I was a research assistant at the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE), and an intern at the Italian Antitrust Authority (AGCM).

Ricerca
I am currently studying the digital ecosystem from both a theoretical and empirical perspective. Particularly, I'm working on a theoretical model on governance of data and digital technologies, giving special attention to the peculiar nature of data and learning machines, and their policy implications. Empirically, I'm elaborating upon the role played by M&As on the development of these frontier technologies.
Broadly, my main fields of interest are:
- Organizational Theory and Complex Evolving Systems
- Power in Economics
- Antitrust and Industrial Economics
- Innovation and Digital Economics
