An atypical economist, he graduated from Bocconi in 2002 in Economic and Social Disciplines and took his doctorate in 2008 after some wandering around Europe, first at the University of Sussex, for a master’s degree in development economics, and in Tirana afterwards to complete his research on poverty measurement indicators.

There he works on and teaches behavioural economics.
He has published several essays on economics: “Pop Economy” (2015) e la “Scienza dei goal” (2016) with Hoepli, “Scelgo dunque sono: guida galattica per irrazionali in economia” (2017) and “Galileo Reloaded” (2018) with Egea; “Il metro della felicità” (Mondadori 2019), a book on the measurement of well-being in economics, which is his favourite research topic.
