Background

I have obtained my Laurea degree in Economics at the University of Ancona in 1998 where I worked as a research assistant until I joined (end of 1999) the Max Planck Institute of Economics as a Ph.D. student. In 2001 I get a research fellowship at the Department of Studies on Economic Development (University of Macerata) jointly with the "Laboratory of Local Development" of the Chamber of Commerce of Macerata. During these years I have been working mostly as an applied economist in the field of industrial and regional production systems` analysis, and I had the opportunity to work with a number of regional institutions and agencies in the evaluation of public investment and strategic planning for local development. Currently I am back to Jena to take my Ph.D. and to have the chance to reconsider all the data and experience accumulated "in the field" in a more theoretical way.
