I am a labour economist and Team Lead of the Labour Market Outlook group at Banca d'Italia. My research interests are in the fields of labour economics, economics of migration and public economics.
In 2024 I spent a semester as a Visiting Fellow at the STICERD Centre at the LSE. In 2020-2022 I worked as an economic advisor to the Italian Minister for Relations with Parliament. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Economics at the University of California, Davis. Check out my contributions on VoxEU and lavoce.info, my NBER, RePEc and Google Scholar pages and Twitter/X account. I am also affiliated to the Fondazione Rodolfo Debenedetti and I am currently collaborating with the OECD Linkeed 2.0 project. Please download my CV here.
