Summary
Francesco Moscone leads the area of Healthcare Management and Wellbeing at BBS, where his research concentrates on sustainable health expenditure, exploring potential savings from both demand and supply perspectives. On the demand side, he examines scenarios such as 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 explores questions such as the productivity gains in hospitals if physicians adopt more cost-effective medical technologies.
Francesco is Professor of Business Economics, former Division Lead for Organisations and People, former head of the Centre of Research into Entrepreneurship, International Business in Emerging Markets, former Director of the MBA programs, and former Director of Internationalisation.
