Current research
My current research refers to issues in family, health and labor economics, with a focus on gender and ageing-related topics. In particular, I study (i) how public policies and the labor market affect the careers of women, (ii) how parental investments and formal education improve subsequent outcomes, both in childhood and in adult life, and (iii) how public interventions affect health-care use and provision.
