In Memory of Luca Salvatici
Dear friends and colleagues,
We write to you with deep sorrow that Prof. Luca Salvatici suddenly passed away on May 6th 2025. He was a dear friend and a key figure in our community.
Luca was an economist of outstanding international scientific standing, a recognised scholar and expert in International Trade, Quantitative Evaluation of Trade Policies, Agricultural Economics, Global Value Chain analysis, and a highly regarded member of the GTAP community. He was always generous with his time as a mentor to young researchers. Over the years, he held numerous institutional roles in Italy and abroad.
His legacy will remain vivid in our work, and our respect and affection for him will stay unchanged in our memories.
