I am a PhD Candidate in Economics and Finance at Bocconi University.
My work lies at the intersection of macroeconomics, finance, and behavioral economics. I study how belief formation shapes macroeconomic dynamics and the design of optimal monetary policy. My current research focuses on diagnostic expectations, interest rate smoothing, and investment cycles with collateralized borrowing.
My work also extends to financial stability, with a focus on coordination under incomplete information. Using a global games framework, I study how monetary tightening can increase bank run risk.
I founded forecasting.to, a research platform for experimental studies of time series forecasting.
Before joining the PhD, I worked as a Senior Economist at the Central Bank.
Research interests: Macroeconomics, Expectations, Monetary Economics, Banking, Financial Stability.
