Assistant Professor of Political Economy at Colorado State University, USA. PhD in Economics from the University of Siena, Italy. My research focuses on sustainable development, growth-cycle dynamics, and behavioural macroeconomics. I develop and calibrate nonlinear dynamic models with heterogeneous agents, grounded in alternative theories of growth and distribution, to study structural change in modern economies. Scholarly papers have appeared in the Journal of Economic Behavior Organization, Cambridge Journal of Economics, Ecological Economics, Environmental & Resource Economics, Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, among others.
