About Me
I am a financial economist by training, with a special interest in financial intermediation, markets, monetary policy, and corporate finance. I am an Associate Professor of Finance at ESCP Business School, where I am also the Finance Department Coordinator for all campuses and Director of the Specialization in Investment Banking for the Turin Campus.
I have always been interested in economic efficiency. In my undergraduate studies I focused on business administration, which gave me a good sense of what pursuing efficiency from a business standpoint was like. My master’s studies in Rome highlighted the importance of different types of organizations in determining aggregate outcomes. Among them, I felt particularly drawn towards banks.
During my Ph.D. studies, I devoted significant effort to better understand financial markets and intermediaries, their role in the transmission of economic and policy shocks, and, ultimately, their impact on financing and investment decisions made by non-financial corporations. This is where most of my interests concentrate today.
