Biography
Welcome to my webpage! I’m a PhD candidate in Economics at the Zurich Graduate School of Economics (University of Zurich). I hold a MSc and a BSc in Economics from the University of Bologna.
I visited Princeton University in the Spring 2024, hosted by Professor Gianluca Violante.
I am on the 2024-25 academic job market.
My research interests are in Macroeconomics and Labor Economics. In my research I study the factors that prevent economies from achieving full employment and how governments can intervene to address them.
