I am an economist working on questions involving the environment and/or natural resources, and an associate professor at the Department of Economics at the University of Bologna. I am a member of the CESifo network and an external research associate of OxCarre.

Research interests.
Economics of climate change, natural resources (particularly fossil fuels), development of green technologies, sustainable economic growth, environmental politics. I mostly work on applied theory, typically dynamic problems, especially dynamic and differential games. I also occasionally end up thinking about e.g. dynamic industrial organisation or dynamic game theory.
