Research clusters

Research interests

  • ​Metaphysical Realism and Objectivity in Science
  • Sovereign debt and Political economy
  • Game theoretical analysis of Law and Institutions

Dr Ianulardo’s research is in the area of philosophy of economics, social ontology and institutions.

The main focus of his research is on the role of objectivity in science, and in economics in particular, and metaphysical realism, exploring the implications for the economic discourse of a reconsideration of some philosophical categories such as relation, existence, object, and truth. His paper on Metaphysical Realism and Objectivity is a first step in this broader research agenda.

Concerning his research on social ontology, central to his investigation is the emergence of law and institutions by consent, using the methodological perspective of the rational actor as formalised by some game theoretical equilibrium notions. His paper on Leoni intended to contribute to the innovative interpretations of the law as a claim of the individual proposed by Bruno Leoni, and in particular refining his notion of the legal system using the tool offered by sequential and Bayesian equilibria not available at the time of Leoni’s writings.

He has also worked is in the area of game theory applied to international political economy, focusing especially on external and domestic sovereign debt, and legal and political institutions. Specifically, he has applied his research to recent default episodes, such as the Argentinean case. Recently, he has been working with some international colleagues on the dynamics of sovereign debt under alternative international monetary regimes.

Research projects

Dr. Ianulardo is currently involved in a broader research agenda on metaphysical realism and objectivity, the notion of relation and existence, and their implications for economic categories. In particular, his focus is on social ontology, as applied to institutions and their formal and informal rules and the constituents of economic and social relationships.

He is also working with some colleagues on the determinants of sovereign debt repayment. His research includes the use of game theoretical tools to formalise the long run relationship between different classes of creditors and the sovereign debtor.
