Hello and welcome to my webpage.

I'm Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Milano-Bicocca. I obtained a Ph.D. in Applied Economics from University of Calabria in 2009 and a M.Sc. in Economics from Birkbeck, University of London in 2007.

Over the years, I have taught and conducted research at Marche Polytechnic University, Warwick Business School, ESSCA School of Management. Before joining the academia, I worked as Research Economist at the European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre - Competence Centre on Microeconomic Evaluation (CC-ME). There I dealt with quantitative evaluation of EU policies across a wide range of fields to support policy-making. Some of my policy contributions can be found on my Policy page.

My research speaks to Economics, Business and Political Science and my current agenda revolves around the following three main areas: i) civil war and post-conflict development ii) international migration iii) effectiveness of public policy. My research output is available on my Research page, my ResearchGate profile, and scholar.google page.
