Alberto’s main research interests lie within the field of comparative political economy, with a particular focus on the politics of inequality, political representation and behaviour, institutions, and the political economy of redistribution and taxation. His master's thesis at Sciences Po Paris examines the relationship between economic inequality, political inequality, and policy responsiveness, under the supervision of Prof. Bruno Palier (Sciences Po Paris) and Prof. Elvire Guillaud (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne).
