Dr Gorgoni is currently working on the international fragmentation of production by applying network analysis to trade and FDI data. She has already published research in this area, where her specialist capabilities in network analysis are making valuable methodological contributions (see Amighini and Gorgoni, forthcoming in World Economy), which are likely to be influential on international policy developments.
