I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Economics of the University of Insubria, Varese (Italy). I am also a research fellow at InExEc (Insubria Experimental Economics center) and CEIS, Tor Vegata University of Rome. Since 2023, I have served as an editorial board member of Humanities and Social Sciences Communications.
My research is in Behavioral and Experimental Economics. Since my doctoral thesis, I have focused on the framing effects that stem from verbal vs. non-verbal aspects of the choice architecture, and their implications for decision theory and public policies (nudges). My recent line of research investigates personality determinants of prosocial and antisocial economic behavior. I mainly conduct lab/online experiments and I program them with oTree.
