Matteo Sestito

Postdoctoral Fellow, Unil

I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher on the project "Quantitative Spatial Models of Violence" led by Mathias Thoenig at the University of Lausanne (Unil).

My research lies primarily in cultural economics, political economy, and history. Employing large spatial datasets, my current work explores the historical determinants of state-building and group cooperation.

I hold a PhD in economics from the Aix-Marseille School of Economics, where I graduated in June 2024.
