About me

I graduated in Law from the Luiss Guido Carli University but, over time, I realized that I wanted to use my legal knowledge in the field of International Cooperation so I volunteered with NGOs in Dublin and in Ethiopia and I started a specific Master’s at the University of Pavia. I attended the ECLAC school of Development Studies and overall, these experiences convinced me that Economics was a better course.

My research

My research focuses on Ecological Macroeconomics and Finance.The main aim of the project is to explore, through an Input-Output Agent Based model, to what extent climate physical and transition shocks can exacerbate a situation of financial fragility of the non financial corporate sector in Brazil and the role of production and financial networks in the propagation of these shock to the financial sector and to the whole economy.
