NICOLETTA CORROCHER

I teach in three main areas:

• Economics (micro and macro - undergraduate level)
• Innovation in ICT and service industries (postgraduate level)
• Sustainability (postgraduate level)

My teaching style is developed around the following principles:

• Empathy with students
• Clarity of exposition – use of interactive pen displays for basic courses and very structured slides for advanced courses
• Accurate organization of the course structure and of every single lesson 
• Interactivity
• Data-based / Real-life Example-based lessons

I am a Lecturer in Applied Economics at Bocconi University and Research Fellow at ICRIOS (Invernizzi Center for Research on Innovation, Organization, Strategy and Entrepreneurship), Bocconi University. I obtained a PhD in Economics and Management of Innovation at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and an MSc in Science and Technology Policy at SPRU, University of Sussex.

I’m currently working on the following projects/papers:

"The complementarity between digitalization and sustainability strategies and their impact on growth: An empirical analysis on European SMEs" (with M.L. Mancusi)

"The Determinants of Science-Based Green Patents" (with A. Morrison and F. Nutarelli)

"Digitalization, Servitization and the Adoption of Sustainability Practices in European SMEs: Empirical Evidence Based on Web-Scraped Data" (with S. Ashouri and A. Suominen)

"Far away so close”: the interplay between ethnic diversity and educational paths in startups’ success." (with S.Breschi and H.Ryu)

"Research collaboration among scientists in the S3 thematic area 'Energy and Sustainable Environment': an empirical assessment" (with D. Anic and Z. Aralica)

"From Classrooms to Breakthroughs: unveiling the Nexus Between Vocational Training and Innovation in European regions" (with P. Bianchi and A. Muscio)

My main research interests concern the diffusion of innovations and industrial dynamics - particularly in ICT industries and service sectors – and the emergence of eco-innovations in the framework of sustainable development. I have published in international journals such as Research Policy, Regional Studies, Industry and Innovation, Journal of Evolutionary Economics, Technological Forecasting and Social Change.
