Research interests[edit]

Carraro's research interests cover the following fields: coalition and network formation, analysis of international economic agreements, the link between trade and the environment, development of advanced integrated climate economy models, empirical modelling of technological change, and assessment of the costs and benefits of greenhouse gases stabilization policies.

Publications[edit]

Carraro has written more than 200 papers and 30 books^[8] on the analysis of monetary and fiscal problems in open economies, monetary policy coordination in Europe, international negotiations and the formation of international economic coalitions, the effects of fiscal policies on oligopolistic markets, the econometric modelling of integrated economies, the econometric valuation of environmental policies to control global warming and further issues related to climate change policies, the dynamics of international environmental agreements, international locations industry and trade flows, global governance, coalition theory and research policies.

Honours[edit]

In 2013 Professor Carraro was awarded the decoration of Grand Officer in the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.

Controversies[edit]

In the course of his tenure as Chancellor of Ca Foscari University in Venice, some of his initiatives have been strongly contested by students, faculty and residents.

Chancellor Carraro's decision to invite for the inauguration of 2010-2011 Paolo Scaroni, the managing director of ENI S.p.A., and recipient of a one-year four months suspended sentence for corruption during "tangentopoli" occasioned strong protests.^[9]

His decision to invite Alessandro Profumo, former managing director of Italian bank Unicredit on 23 November 2011, barely a month after the Milan procurators had announced the formulation of charges against Profumo for tax fraud on 27 October 2011, brought renewed protests.^[10]

His decision to swap three buildings owned by Venice university, two of which are grade-listed sixteenth century palaces, with a 1957 office block in 2013 also sparked strong dissent and protest.^[11]

One of the palaces of the proposed swap is Ca Cappello, the sixteenth century palazzo on the grand Canal that was famously the home of English archeologist and Niniveh discoverer Austen Henry Layard and his wife Lady Enid Layard. Together with Ca Cappello the swap would also see the alienation of Ca Bembo and Palazzo Cosulich.

The language department have in particular objected to the lack of adequate spaces and the lack of transparency over the operation, which was undertaken without their knowledge and participation.^[12] A student demonstration entered the building while an administrative meeting on the building swap was in session, with considerable controversy ensuing later over whether the chancellor pushed one of the demonstrators or was pushed by one.^[13] In an unprecedented move, 115 members of faculty petitioned the chancellor to halt the transfer of property and expressed sympathy with the student protesters.^[14] The chancellor's decision to request the police to sue the students for interruption of public service brought even stronger condemnation, and 138 members of faculty expressed solidarity with the students being sued.^[15] Italian investigative weekly L'Espresso has recently noted the problems over the swap, and the apparent mismatch between estimates, and reconstructed the affair from the beginning.^[16]
