I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at Bocconi University. My research takes behavioral economics to questions in environmental policy, public finance, and financial markets. Many of my studies use field experiments in collaboration with private and public organizations.
My ERC Starting Grant "Markets for the Environment" (M4E) studies market-based solutions for environmental challenges.
