I’m a financial economist focused on European policy, where research meets regulation. My work spans housing affordability — increasingly a structural challenge across Europe — and the fast-evolving world of digital assets, from crypto markets to the digital euro. Earlier work centred on financial stability, banking resolution, and market structure. I bring an evidence-based approach to policymaking.
I conduct on a daily basis economic analyses, aimed to feed policy decisions, impact assessments, or contributions to policy documents or other relevant economic/financial dossiers. I have contributed to several research papers, technical reports, and policy briefs in the domain of stability of the banking system, resolution activities, deposit insurance guarantees, and digital finance. I am also a member of the ECB/ESRB Project Team on climate risk since 2021. Some contributions: - Estimation of the impact of contingent liabilities that could arise from the banking sector for the Debt and Fiscal Sustainability Monitor of 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 (DG ECFIN) - Chapter on systemic risk for the JRC publication "Blockchain Now and Tomorrow" (2019) - Empirical analysis for the "Evaluation of the effects of too-big-to-fail reforms: consultation report" published by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) on 28 June 2020 (DG FISMA) - Two Quarterly Report on the Euro Area (QREA) article: the sovereign-bank nexus in the Euro Area (2020) and the stabilising impact of EU bond issuance on sovereigns and banks during COVID-19 (2021) - Scientific-based contributions for the impact assessment on the Crisis Management and Deposit Insurance (CMDI) framework (DG FISMA - 2023) - Analysis of banks' profitability and CBDC for the impact assessment on the introduction of a digital euro (2023) - Next Generation Virtual Worlds Report (2023).
