Hosting Research Group

Our research group examines how public policies, financial instruments,



development programmes and international financing mechanisms contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We focus on understanding the role of:
Taxation and international transfers
Official Development Assistance (ODA)
Other financial flows relevant to human development
Our work is grounded in the human development paradigm shared by the

United Nations , analysing how financial systems can generate the “necessary boost” for individuals and communities in developing countries to pursue valuable life projects.
By placing

people at the centre of economic and financial decision‑making , our group seeks to:
Reduce unjust global inequalities
Support transitions toward sustainable and inclusive production systems
Promote international financial and fiscal architectures based on shared but differentiated responsibilities
Understand how integral financial flows can empower countries and individuals with fewer resources
