I’m a Lecturer at the Department of Economics, Bocconi University.
My research focuses on the history and methodology of microeconomics, with special attention to choice and utility theory, experimental and behavioral economics, and the epistemic foundations of game theory.
By combing analytical, historical and philosophical perspectives, I seek to formulate new insights into both the history and the methodology of microeconomic theory, advancing the development of new knowledge within the field.
With Francesco Guala of the University of Milan, I organize a seminar on the history and philosophy of microeconomics called MicroCafé. More information about venue, dates and speakers can be found here.
