He obtained his Ph.D. in Development Economics from the University of Florence in 2007.

His research focuses on

• International migration determinants
• Economic development impacts of migration
• Labor market outcomes for migrants
• Policy analysis on asylum systems

Key contributions include analyzing migration selection mechanisms, the socio-economic consequences of migration on origin countries, and the role of information costs in migration decisions. His work spans theoretical and empirical approaches, frequently using cross-country data and policy experimentation frameworks.
