Teaching

At the moment, I am unit director for two undergraduate units: Intermediate Microeconomics (2nd year) and Public Economics (3rd year).

Research

My main areas of research are in political economics and in applied microeconomic theory.

Within political economics, my interests are focused on constitutional design, the interplay between lobbying, corruption and political institutions, and the impact of corruption on political dynamics. Within microeconomic theory, I am interested on the impact of external incentives on bidders' behavior in auctions and in issues of strategic information transmission.
