I'm professor of Econometrics at the department of Economics&Management 'Marco Fanno', University of Padova. I mostly work on the econometrics of impact evaluation of public policies within the broader - and much older - issue of causal inference. I published several papers on this topic, here is a short list of the main ones:

I live few km's off Padova, on the south border of the Euganean hills, a small range of ancient volcanos. Here is the Euganean sunset as seen from my terrace (left) and the west flank of the range as seen from the NW (right).  

When I can - unfortunately, not as much as I would like - I'm still practicing ski mountaineering, a vice I inherited from my dad. By the way, it happened to give rise to an exciting interaction with my e'metrics skills:
