Info and short bio
Short Bio:
I earned a PhD in Economics from Università degli Studi di Milano, with the dissertation “Essays on Investment and Growth in an International Setting”. I have been a visiting researcher at the Department of Spatial Economics, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam and a visiting scholar at the Economics Department of Boston College, USA. I also hold a Master degree in Economics (MEc) at Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi and graduated in Economics at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano with a dissertation on “Research Joint Ventures in the semiconductor industry”. My research interests are in public economics, with an additional focus on regional and urban issues. My research has appeared in international journals including: European Journal of Political Economy, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Regional Studies.
