Welcome to my website. I am a Senior Economist in the Development Research Group (Poverty and Inequality Team) at the World Bank.
My work focuses on how public policy can shape household and children's well being, with a focus on social protection, nutrition and early childhood development in low and middle income countries. I am currently on the editorial board of the World Bank Economic Review. I received my B.A. from Bocconi University, Italy and M.S. and Ph.D. from Boston College.
