About me

Hi and welcome to my page!

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor (RTT) in Economics at the Department of Law, University of Pisa.

My work combines theory, experiments, and – more recently – simulations to study economic behaviour and policy design.

My research lies in Applied Game Theory, with a focus on:

  • Industrial organization
  • Experimental economics
  • Political economy
  • Agent-based modelling in microeconomics

I am part of MAPS, a Horizon Europe project exploring policy pathways for sustainable and equitable wellbeing.
