I am an associate professor of Econometrics at the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Siena. I got my DPhil from the University of York with a dissertation on empirical likelihood and time series. Currently I am working on topics related to instrumental variables and GMM. Before joining the University of Siena I worked at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and at the University of Sassari as a postdoc and at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso as an assistant professor.
