Report for the "Alleanza Clima Lavoro" coordinated by Sbilanciamoci!
Short Abstract: The transformation of the automotive sector presents opportunities in terms of conversion to a mobility with reduced CO2 impacts, as well as on a socio-economic level, providing a potential boost to employment and production. These opportunities, however, are strongly conditioned by the ability of national and European institutions to accompany and manage a transition that involves structural changes and critical issues that may jeopardise the feasibility of the transition path and its sustainability in social terms. This report proposes an integrated approach to industrial policy that rethinks the sectorial boundaries of the automotive sector and aiming at holding together the strategic objective of an ecological and energy transition of mobility with labour and social policies capable of preventing, limiting and cushioning those negative impacts that would end up affecting the workers most exposed to the sector's transformations and least ready for retraining.

Report for the "Alleanza Clima Lavoro" coordinated by Sbilanciamoci!
Short Abstract: The transition towards sustainable mobility is an essential step towards achieving climate neutrality by 2050. At the same time, it is an opportunity to transform the Italian production system combining decarbonisation objectives and the protection and promotion of employment.
Starting from these premises, this report presents a Plan for Green Jobs and Sustainable Mobility (PLVMS) for Italy that includes a set of proposals from the member organisations of the Climate-Labour Alliance. The Plan - the cost of which is covered by the conversion of Environmentally Harmful Subsidies for the transport sector into subsidies for the transport sector into environmentally favourable subsidies - is divided into three categories of intervention: stimulating the demand for private electric cars and just mobility; investing in the infrastructure for the recharge of electric vehicles; developing electric local public transport.
In order to estimate and evaluate through the elaboration of a scenario analysis, the impact of PLMVS on a number of key economic, environmental and social indicators. economic, environmental and social key indicators, the report uses the macro-simulation model EUROGREEN, also devoting a specific focus to the Italian automotive sector.

Master Thesis at Università di Pisa and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna
Short abstract: this thesis is composed by 3 chapters. In the first one we give some philosophical fundations to the debate on how to evaluate the fairness of a tax system. In the second chapter we propose a desciptive comparison of the tax system in France, Germany and Italy. The last chapter is dedicated to investigate whether the economic literature prefers to study efficiency over fairness in taxation.

4th-year Thesis at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna
Short abstract: this thesis modifies the standard job search model with unemployment benefits inserting three different policies: the addition of a tax on the wage to fully cover the active and passive policies on the labour market; a working hours reduction; the implementation of an hiring incentive.
Supevisor: Lorenzo Corsini
Bachelor Thesis at Università di Pisa
Short abstract: this thesis tries to figure out the conditions under which a policy of working hours reduction is affordable by a welfare state. In particular, it discusses whether sustainability of this policy can be achieved through the creation of a policy mix made by adding a hiring and an unemployment subsidies to the reduction in working time.

2nd-year Thesis at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna
Short abstract: this thesis analysis the relationships between employment, income, happiness thanks to the addition of a CES utility function into a lump of labour static model drawn from the literature.
Supervisor: Simone D'Alessandro
1st-year Thesis at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna
Short abstract: this thesis summarises the debate around the "Limits to growth" and replicates some scenario analysis present in the original work of 1972 thanks to the conversion of the model into Modelica language made by John D. Sterman.
Supervisor: Giovanni Dosi
Note: unfortunately both the thesis and the slides are in Italian. A (very brief) summary of the thesis is available in English here.Page updated
