I am a professor of economics at the Università della Svizzera italiana, where I currently also serve as Dean of the Faculty of Economics. I earned my Ph.D. from Universitat Pompeu Fabra and subsequently held academic positions at the University of Southampton, the University of Salerno and the University of Milan. I am also affiliated with CSEF, Centro Studi Luca D'Agliano, and fRDB. My research concentrates on the labour market effects of financial market imperfections, globalization and labour market institutions.
