Ugo Troiano's principal interest is exploring the connection between political economy and public finance. His current research focuses on the economic effects of fiscal rules, on analyzing whether the incentives of policymakers affect tax enforcement and explaining the channels through which public policies can affect economic growth. Previous research dealt with explaining cross-country variation in mandated benefit provision and with analyzing the connection between social capital and political accountability.
