Welcome to my homepage
I am Assistant Professor (RTDa) of Economics at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, within the Faculty of Finance, Banking and Insurance.
I am also an external fellow of the Center for European Studies (within University of Milan-Bicocca). In the past, I have been teaching for Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy) and ESSCA (France) various courses on economics & finance at the graduate level.
I have 20 years of academic and professional experience in diverse policy environments ranging from central banks and European institutions to think-tanks. My academic research interests span across various fields such as international & public finance, macrofinance, information & uncertainty, and policy analysis. Here you can see my published articles and some recent research projects.
