Biography

I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in Public Economics at the Department of Economics and Management of University of Florence.

My research interests include education, labour economics, inequality, gender imbalances, and complexity. My main line of research focuses on enrolling decision in higher education adopting an agent-based modelling approach.

I have worked on the project “The Performance of Performance Related Pay”, funded by the Leverhulme Trust and based at the University of Leicester, UK. The project aims at developing an Agent-Based model to compare the individual and collective reward systems and their effects on labour mobility.

I come from Italy and I am originally from the Marche region.

I earned a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Economics at the Università Politecnica delle Marche in Ancona and I hold a Ph.D. in Quantitative Methods for the Economic Policy from the University of Macerata, obtained in 2019. Before joining the University of Florence in 2025, I worked at Maastricht University and University of Leicester.
