I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Economics at Bocconi University, advised by Marta Prato, Nicola Pavoni and Jerome Adda.

I am an applied macroeconomist working on innovation economics. My research combines spatial models of innovation-led growth with heterogeneous firms with new microdata to study the geographic mobility of two increasingly important actors in the innovation economy, venture capital and high-growth startups, and its aggregate consequences.

In joint work on startup mobility, we study the aggregate consequences of young firms relocating toward deeper capital markets, quantifying what origin countries lose and which policies can help retain them. 

Before moving to Milan, I studied a BSc in Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics at the University of Amsterdam, and a MSc in Macroeconomic Analysis at the Barcelona School of Economics, and worked for two years in the Forecasting and Policy Modelling Division of the European Central Bank.
