Leone's research interests are in the area of growth and finance. He is studying the effects on growth processes of structural change (i.e. industrialisation and crisis) by means of semi-parametric conditional distributions and ACF estimation. He also studies on the effects on firm value, investment and performance of corporate governance mechanisms such as premium for managers and spillover effects from public capital.
