About me

I received my PhD in Public Policy and Administration from Bocconi University, Milan. My research focuses on behavioural public policy and administration and the title of my doctoral thesis is “Systematic Deviations from Rational Decision-Making in Public Administration.” Methodologically, most of my ongoing work makes use of experiments, though I am also interested in quasi-experimental designs and mixed methods.

  • Public management
  • Experimental and quasi-experimental designs
