My main research interests lie within the fields of behavioural economics, education and experimental economics.
My current research focuses on attitudes and non-cognitive skills and their contribution to a better understanding of individual behaviour. I am particularly interested in risk and time preferences and their role in shaping socio-economic outcomes. Other research areas include the contribution of individual’s attitudes and preferences to the explanation of the gender differences typically found in the literature. Moreover, I am interested in understanding the circumstances triggering peer effects and pro-social behaviour.
My research is based on various types of data, from institutional datasets to surveys and data collected through field and laboratory experiments.
