I am currently Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Trento (Italy), where I’m part of the research group Empirical Microeconomics Laboratory (EMiL). Also, I am an external member of the Laboratory of Economics and Management (LEM) at Scuola Superiore S.Anna (Pisa). In the past I have been visiting scholar at the Paris School of Economics, at the Centre d'Economie de la Sorbonne and at the Bank of France.
I earned a PhDlivepage.apple.com in Economics and Management from the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa (Italy) in June 2008. Afterward I obtained a Marie-Curie Fellowship and in May 2013 I became Assistant Professor at the University of Trento. Between June 2014 and December 2014 I worked as research fellow at the Paris School of Economics and at the Bank de France for the Mapcompete project, a FP7 proposal of six European universities and research centers.
My research focuses on applied microeconomics and industrial organization with a strong focus on the relationship between international trade and firm performance. My current research addresses the issue of firms' international competitiveness by looking at the broad factors constraining or enhancing companies' foreign operations, like growth in size and productivity; access to financial markets and innovation; product and geographic diversification; workforce composition.
