I am a Jr Scientist (tenure track) at RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE). I received my Ph.D. in Public Policy from Bocconi University. Between September 2021 and April 2022 I was a visiting scholar at the University of California at Davis. My work explores the economic costs of climate change and environmental stressors, in particular air pollution. [ CV ]
