Other affiliations:

During 2020-2023, I was "Unicredit & Universities Foscolo Europe" research fellow in Padova. I also held postdoctoral fellowships at the Toulouse School of Economics and CORE - Universitè catholique de Louvain. I obtained the Ph.D from the University of York in 2019. In 2022, I was visiting research fellow at the ESMT Berlin.

I hold the Italian Habilitation for Associate Professor (Professore di II Fascia) in Economia Politica (13/A1), Scienza delle Finanze (13/A3), and Economia Applicata (13/A6). 

My research interests are in the field of Industrial Organization and Digital Economics. I am currently working on platform governance of quality and innovation, vertical relations within platform markets, and price and algorithmic transparency in online marketplaces. I am also interested in the unintended effects of public policies.

My research has been published in Management Science, Journal of Health Economics, Journal of Industrial Economics, European Economic Review, amongst others. 

I  co-organize the (monthly) joint Digital Economics Seminar and the yearly IBEO Conference in Alghero (Sardinia) - Digital Economics Session, and the Padova IO Workshop.
