I am an applied economist, and I received my Ph.D. from the Stockholm School of Economics. My main area of research is the Economics of Education, where I broadly focus on how information affects students' education choices and labor market outcomes. More recently I started working in the areas of Health and Environmental Economics.
I am currently working on a large project about the effects of PFAS exposure, which spans both research areas. This project extends the original PECHID project, hosted by Collegio Carlo Alberto and funded for two years by Compagnia di San Paolo via Trapezio grant.
