Welcome to my web page!

I am Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Pavia in Italy. I previously worked as Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies (University of Sussex) in the UK. I am affiliated with Laboratory for Effective Anti-Poverty Policies (LEAP-Bocconi), the Centro Studi Luca D'agliano (University of Milan) and the Household in Conflict Network.  

I am a development economist and use micro-level data for my research.  In a recent project I analyse the benefits of an early childhood development parenting program on child development and parents behaviours  in Rwanda. I am also working on topics related to education (with a focus on socio-emotional skills and inclusion) and gender-based violence. 

I investigated the short, long-term and intergenerational impact of conflicts on health, education and domestic violence and studied the role of women in natural resource management institutions and child labor in Nepal.
