Welcome to my website! 

I am a Professor of Economics at the Dept. of Economics and Statistics "Cognetti de Martiis", University of Torino, an Affiliate at the Collegio Carlo Alberto and a Programme Associate and Visiting Researcher with the Global Governance Programme at the European University Institute.

My work tries to understand the drivers of private sector development in low-income countries using firm and individual data. On these topics, I regularly consult with national and international organisations, including so far UNCTAD, UNICEF, UNIDO, UNU-Wider, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the African Development Bank (AfDB), ILO, IMF and the World Bank. 

I am one of the co-organizers of the "Firms, Labour Market, and Development" Workshop.
