Curriculum vitae

Francesco Moscone's research focuses on sustainable health expenditure, investigating possible savings from both demand and supply perspectives. Regarding the demand side, he explores scenarios like potential savings if the smoking population transitions to reduced-risk products like vaping, if heavy drinkers shift to moderate drinking, and if individuals become more physically active. On the supply side, his research delves into questions such as the potential productivity gains in hospitals when physicians adopt more cost-effective medical technologies.

Francesco is a member of the Italian Parliamentary Technical-Scientific Intergroup on Prevention and Risk Reduction. He presented his work at a public hearing of the European Parliament and in the Italian Parliament, and it has been used in parliamentary debates at Westminster and in the Scottish Parliament.
