Welcome to my personal website. I am an economist working in public, labor, and welfare economics. I am currently a Research Associate at the Institute of Economics, Zagreb (EIZ), and I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Milan.
My research focuses on economic inequality, social welfare, and redistribution, with particular interests in inequality and well-being measurement, work incentives and labor supply, tax-benefit microsimulation and the distributional effects of public policies.
More broadly, I am interested in how public policies shape the distribution of resources and opportunities, and how individuals perceive inequality and form preferences for redistribution.
You can find my curriculum vitae here.
