Current Research interests

  • Eco-labelling, environmental liability, costumers’ preferences
  • Analysis of farmers’ preferences towards irrigation water markets
  • Economics of wastewater treatment and reuse in agriculture
  • Governance of common-pool resources such as groundwater
  • Economics of agricultural residue as biomass feedstock

Within agricultural economics and policy, Giacomo’s analysis focuses on farmer’s behaviour. Particular research interests include the analysis of farmers’ preferences for Common Agricultural Policy (PAC) changes and irrigation water market. The interest in governance issue of common-pool resources has also attracted his attention. He has an international reputation with good experience in European research projects. He is routinely working both in Spain and Italy.
