Vincenzo Denicolò is Professor of Economics at the University of Bologna. His main research interest currently is the economics of innovation and intellectual property, but he works, more broadly, on industrial organization and competition policy and maintains an interest in social choice theory, in which he has also published extensively in the past. He has been visiting fellow at Clare Hall (Cambridge) and visiting professor at the European University Institute and the University of Paris II. He served as co-editor of the International Journal of Industrial Organization and head of the Bologna Doctoral School in Economics and Statistics.
