University Lecturer

I teach BSc and MSc courses in Finance at the Faculty of Economics and Business (University of Groningen, RUG) and at the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management (Université libre de Bruxelles, ULB). 

My research focuses on behavioural household finance, precisely on the design of banking contracts in the presence of agents with behavioural anomalies. I am interested in elucidating the impact of behavioural anomalies on agents’ borrowing and savings decision-making. From there, I explore questions related to contract design, such as moral hazard, screening with asymmetric information, pricing, etc.

I hold a PhD in Economics and Management Science (ULB and UMONS, 2014), a Master degree in Economics (University of Rome La Sapienza, 2001) as well as a Complementary Master in Microfinance (EMP, 2009). I did my postdoc at the University of California at Berkeley (2014-15) and at the Université libre de Bruxelles (2015-17). I worked as consultant for the Ministry of Economics and Finance (Italy); International Fund for Agricultural Development (Italy); InterSOS—Humanitarian Aid Organization (Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Angola); Réseau Financement Alternatif (Belgium); Microsave (India); Safasave (Bangladesh).

I supervise students individually in writing their BSc and  MSc thesis and I provide individual courses in Economics, Math and Statistics.
