Legislative complexity, public policy, lobbying

I work as Lecturer in Public Policy at the Department of Political Economy, King's College London. From November 2016 to August 2018, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Innocenzo Gasparini Institute for Economic Research (IGIER), Bocconi University, where I worked on a project which uses advanced text analysis (based on computational linguistics) to study delegation, legislative complexity and economic growth.

I am also working on other topics: business and government in the European Union; public policy and public opinion in tobacco control; representation and transparency in local democracies. I have been involved in several cross-country research projects, funded by the European Research Council, the British Academy and the Economic and Social Research Council. My research has featured in several journals, such as JPART, PSJ, EJPR and JEPP, and my manuscript (with David Coen and Alexander Katsaitis) is forthcoming with Oxford University Press.

I did my PhD at UCL (awarded in February 2017), I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in political science from the University of Trento and an MRes from the LSE.
