Teaching & Supervision
Teaching across graduate, undergraduate, and executive programmes at TU Delft (Netherlands), the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the National School of Public Administration (ENAP), FINEP, ANEEL, the University of Sussex, and Utrecht University — spanning innovation economics, public policy, political economy, and research methods.
Innovation systems, responsible innovation, digitisation, and sectoral innovation patterns. Supervised group exercises on stakeholder analysis in the Dutch energy system, innovation scoreboards, and responsible research and innovation (RRI).
Two-part course co-taught with João Carlos Ferraz and David Kupfer. Technological paradigms, disruptive innovation clusters, advanced manufacturing and Industry 4.0, and implications for Brazilian industrial policy — grounded in the Indústria 2027 research project.
40-hour course covering Schumpeterian and evolutionary economics, technological revolutions (Carlota Perez), innovation in firms and sectors, national innovation systems, innovation measurement (OECD manuals, composite indices), and contemporary trends in advanced manufacturing. Assessed through participation and a reflective essay linking theory to professional practice.
25-hour course (10 sessions). Innovation across economic schools of thought, the roles of the state in innovation, models of the innovation process, sectoral innovation patterns, innovation management and intellectual property, measurement and indicators, and STI policy instruments in Brazil. Included guided group discussions on the Brazilian innovation system, innovation dynamics in the electricity sector and the energy transition, and a role-playing game on promoting innovation through regulation.
Structure-conduct-performance model, industrial organisation, Porter's competitive analysis, and business plan development for the pharmaceutical sector.
16-hour intensive course delivered over three days. Conceptual framework of mission-oriented policies, a methodology for designing mission-oriented programmes adapted to FINEP's context, legitimation of societal challenges, diagnosis of state and technical-administrative capacities, the Haddon matrix for framing missions, and evaluation of productive and market dimensions. Participants applied the methodology to FINEP's own Inova Empresa programme throughout.
30-hour course (10 classes). State functions, innovation systems, rationales for public intervention (market failures, systemic failures, the entrepreneurial state), techno-economic paradigms (Carlota Perez), the U.S. military-industrial complex as a hidden developmental state, mission-oriented policies, and the history of Brazilian STI policy from Embrapa and Embraer to the Inova Empresa programme. Assessment combined reading summaries, group work on mission-oriented policy cases, and a reflective essay connecting course content to participants' public service experience.
Seminar-based course covering public policy analysis, policy feedback mechanisms, the role of bureaucrats, public sector innovation, and the policy toolkit for innovation — drawing on Weber, Pierson, Mazzucato, and Reinert.
Co-taught. Schools of political economy and climate change, socio-technical transitions to sustainability (Multi-Level Perspective), international political economy of climate negotiations, emissions trading, and the geopolitics of the energy transition. Designed workshop activities including a role-playing game on incumbents in energy transitions.
Deep transitions theory, socio-technical systems, sustainability, and historical transformations.
Industrial change, technology-forcing regulation, stakeholder dynamics, and sustainability transitions. Participatory exercise based on the case of air pollution and the American car industry.
Institutional economics, natural monopolies, property rights, network externalities, and market design. Alignment of technology and institutions in network industries such as electricity.
Consumer theory, general equilibrium, welfare economics, and a critique of the neoclassical framework.
Co-taught with Marília Bassetti Marcato. Research question formulation, literature review techniques, methodology selection, and thesis pre-project development for final-year economics students.
