Hello and welcome to my website!

I am Associate Professor of Applied Economics at the GSSI Social Sciences and Fellow at IZA@LISER and  CEIS Tor Vergata. 

My research focuses on environmental and development economics, especially on environmental externalities and the role of public policy in mitigating them. I study their effects on labor markets, human capital, and health using causal inference methods and administrative data.

I serve in the Editorial Board of the European Review of Agricultural Economics.

Before joining the GSSI, I held positions as a postdoctoral researcher at Tor Vergata University and Bocconi University, and as a visiting researcher at the Basque Center for Climate Change, CEMI-EPFL, and the UC San Diego Dept. of Economics. 

I earned an MSc and a PhD in Environmental and Development Economics from Roma Tre University. 

I actively collaborate with independent and intergovernmental research institutions, including FAO of the United Nations, World Bank, and Bank of Italy.

During my leisure time, I engage in ice and rock climbing and serve as a climbing instructor at the Paolo Consiglio Climbing School affiliated with the Italian Alpine Club. Landscape photography is my second hobby.

Enjoy my research works and pictures.
