In the Directorat General of Monetary Policy, Division of Capital Market and Financial Structure (DGMP/CMT), I conduct research and policy analysis on climate finance. My research contributes to a deeper understanding on how climate change risks are priced into capital markets and the implication of climate change for monetary policy. These works include my recent working paper "Transition Versus Physical Climate Risk Pricing In Euro Area Financial Markets: A Text-Based Approach" (see link) and my contribution to the ECB Strategy Review on Climate Change (see "Climate Change and Monetary Policy in the Euro Area"). I am an active member of the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS).
In the Economic Directorate of the Central Bank of Ireland, I conduct research and policy analysis on monetary policy and financial stability, international capital flows, and foreign exchange exposure. My recent works focus on the transmission of monetary policy to the international financial system and the real economy. These works include: a) my publication on the impact of the ECB’ Asset Purchase Programme on portfolio rebalancing of Irish investment funds (International Journal of Central Banking); b) my Working Paper on Money Market Funds and Unconventional Monetary Policy (Research Technical Paper of the Central Bank of Ireland); c) my study on the balance-sheet factors that affect the use of foreign exchange derivatives by Investment funds (BIS, Irving Fisher Committee of Central Bank Statistics)
At the Department of Economics of the University of Brescia, I worked as research fellow. My research focused on: i) the interdependence and contagion of financial markets (see link); ii) monetary policy, capital flows and inequality. During this period I also lectured in international macroeconomics at graduate and undergraduate level.
I worked in the Strategy Policy and Review Department (SPR) as a consultant and I collaborate with the team in charge of reviewing the Debt Limit Policy (a rule which guides borrowing policy in countries with an economic program supported by the IMF). During this period my main duty was to conduct empirical analysis on the impact of the Debt Limit Policy on macroeconomic behavior of countries undergoing an IMF's program.
