I am Associate Professor of Economics at Warwick University and Research Associate at CAGE and CES-Ifo.

My research interests are in the areas of Public Economics and Political Economy, I am particularly interested in studying how the interactions between policy makers and voters' behaviour affect economic and political outcomes.

I was born in Genoa (Italy) and after graduating in Economics from the University of Genoa, I moved to England for my postgraduate studies. I completed my PhD in Economics from the University of Warwick in 2004.
