I am an economist specialised in climate change economics and policy. I am currently Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the Department of Economics and Statistics at the University of Siena. Before joining the University of Siena, I was Deputy Director of the Florence School of Regulation – Climate, European University Institute, and Adjunct Professor at the LUISS ‘Guido Carli’ University, in Rome. I have participated in several competitive research projects and authored several articles in international peer-reviewed journals. I hold a BA in Economics from the University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’, an MSc in Economics from Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), and a PhD in Economics also from Trinity College Dublin.
