About

Flavio Calvino is a leading researcher in the economics of innovation and the digital transformation. His work is central to understanding how digital technologies reshape industries and economies. Calvino’s major contribution is the development of a foundational taxonomy of digital-intensive sectors, which provides a systematic framework for measuring and comparing the digitalization of different industries. This influential 2018 study, with 238 citations, accounts for the multifaceted nature of digital adoption, recognizing that sectors vary significantly in their use of advanced technologies. More recently, Calvino has turned his focus to the core technologies driving artificial intelligence. His 2023 report, though early in its citation life, pioneers a new methodology to identify and analyze the patents and applications at the heart of AI advances, mapping the technological landscape of this critical field. Through this work, Calvino provides essential tools for policymakers and researchers to navigate the complexities of technological change, making him a key voice in the study of innovation and economic evolution.
