La mia ricerca si colloca principalmente nei campi della political economy e della public economics, con particolare attenzione a corruzione, istituzioni e politiche pubbliche. I miei interessi secondari includono law and economics e gender economics, ambiti nei quali studio l’interazione tra norme sociali, diritto e risultati economici. Ho conseguito il dottorato in Economia a Harvard (2013) ed i miei lavori sono stati pubblicati su riviste e periodici internazionali che includono il Quarterly Journal of Economics, New York Times, Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Law and Economics.
