My recent research is at the intersection between Public and Applied Economics, with a focus on (i) behavioural responses to capital taxation, (ii) the measurement of income and wealth inequality, and (iii) microeconometric questions related to active labor market policy and welfare interventions. I am a Visiting Senior Fellow at the LSE International Inequalities Institute (LSE III), CESifo Research Network Affiliate, Managing Editor of the Journal of Income Distribution (JID), and Fellow of the World Inequality Database (WID.World). I have been a Visiting Professor at the EUI (Dept. of Economics), Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, University of Pisa, Sapienza U of Rome, University of Siena (DEPS), and Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY).
