At Bocconi, I am also the Co-Director of BELSS, the Bocconi Experimental Laboratory for the Social Sciences, and the Director of BESS, the B.Sc. in Economic and Social Sciences. My research is in political economy, behavioral economics, experimental economics, and microeconomic theory, and it has been published in leading international journals including the American Economic Review, the Journal of the European Economic Association, Management Science, the American Political Science Review, and the American Journal of Political Science. I recently received a European Research Council Starting Grant for a five-year project on the “Behavioral Foundations of Populism and Polarization”.
