Dante Donati

I am an Assistant Professor in the Marketing Division at Columbia Business School.

My research focuses on the economics of digital platforms, using empirical methods to analyze firm and consumer behavior. 

I am co-founder of Virtual Lab, an open-source tool for social media survey recruitment and the evaluation of advertising campaigns. Before joining Columbia, I was a visiting researcher at Stanford University and I earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Pompeu Fabra University .

I also collaborate with with The World Bank on policy-oriented research and I am research fellow at CESifo.
