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.
