I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics of the the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU)
Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at CSEF, at the Federico II University of Naples, and a postdoc at the Cowles Foundation at Yale University.
In October 2017 I received my PhD in Economics from the European University Institute, in Florence.
I am an applied theorist working mainly on Political Economy topics.
