I am Full Professor (Professore Ordinario) of Economics at Sapienza University of Rome. I currently teach Political Economy and Environmental Economics. I am a Research Fellow at IZA - Institute of Labor Economics (Bonn).

My recent research uses theoretical, empirical, and experimental approaches to investigate the behavioral, economic, and political impact of ICTs, the roots and economic outcomes of social capital, and the drivers of social preferences such as support for redistribution and climate change concerns.

My Google Scholar Citation Profile is here (H-Index = 34 as of September 2024; citations = 4627). My RePEc statistics are here.

I occasionally write op-eds in the Italian newspaper Il Foglio and in the Italian magazines Internazionale and Strade on topics of economics and policy.
