I am a researcher in Economics and Wellbeing at STATEC Research, the national statistics office of Luxembourg. 

I obtained my PhD in Economics at the University of Siena, Italy and I hold a Msc double degree in Economics from the University of Essex, UK and from the University of Konstanz, Germany.

My research focuses on social capital, subjective well-being and sustainability. In particular,  my work aims at estimating defensive growth and defensive consumption, and at identifying policies to make growth compatible with societies’ well-being and sustainability. I am also interested in labor market phenomena and their relationship to people’s mental health and life satisfaction. 

Other research interests include economic policy, microeconometrics, post-growth economics, social economics, inequality and sociology.
