Assistant professor at the University of Pisa.
Her current research activity deals with inequality, environmental analysis, European regional policy, economic growth, nonparametric methods and spatial econometrics. She published on international journals her works on convergence on C02 emission, regional macroeconomic volatility and convergence and polarization at provincial/regional levels.
She is actually part of the research project Project ECO2016-76681-R Analisis de la resilienza economica regional, descrentralizaction y desigualidad supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.
