Alessandra Rossi

Welcome to this web page.

My name is Maria Alessandra Rossi (but nobody ever called me with such a long name!) and I was the first to obtain a Ph.D. in Law and Economics from the University of Siena.

I'm fascinated by the possibilities offered by multidisciplinary research and this is one of the reasons why I've chosen this Ph.D., although there is a number of other disciplines besides law and economics I'd like to know more of (especially biology and anthropology). My current research interests are primarily related to the economic analysis of Free/Open Source software, but the study of intellectual property-related issues has been my point of departure and is likely to remain among my major interests for the foreseeable future, together with the theory of the firm and competition policy.
