Development Studies PhD student Biagio Rosso has been awarded one of the two £5000 research grants offered by King’s College London in partnership with the ETERON institute for developing a research project on the nexus between industrial policy and taxation.
The grant is part of a research initiative titled “Reclaiming Europe’s Industrial Policy Through Just Taxation and Innovation” which “seeks to advance knowledge on the intersection of industrial policy and fair taxation, building on recommendations from reports by Mario Draghi and Enrico Letta as well as the UK’s 'Invest 2035' strategy.” Biagio will be working alongside principal investigator Dr. Georgios Samaras at the King’s College London School of Government and Policy Institute, developing the objective and methodologies of this research initiative.
Furthermore, Biagio has received a prestigious 2025 Ph.D. Internship at the Bank of England, Monetary Policy Division, to work on a project in frontier DSGE and HANK modelling, drawing from his doctoral research on macroeconomics and development.
