Biography
Paolo Postiglione is Professor in Economic Statistics at University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy). He received a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Chieti-Pescara in 1998. His research interests mainly concern regional quantitative analysis, spatial statistics and econometrics, spatial concentration, regional economic convergence, agricultural statistics, and spatial sampling.
Roberto Benedetti is Professor in Economic Statistics at University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy). He obtained a Ph.D. in Methodological Statistics in 1994 from “La Sapienza” University of Rome (Italy). His current research interests focus on agricultural statistics, sample design, small area estimation, and spatial data analysis.
Federica Piersimoni is Senior Researcher at Processes Design and Frames Service in the Methodological Department of the Italian National Statistical Institute, since 1996. Her main research interests concern disclosure control and sample design.
