Biography

In 2002 I got a Ph.D. in Economics at 'Université catholique de Louvain' (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium), under the supervision of Professor Raouf Boucekkine. I taught/teach different economic courses in different universities (Ancona, Turin, York, Louvain-la-Neuve, Milan, Pavia), and at different levels (bachelor, master, PhD.). My main research interest is on the theory of economic growth and its application to different fields.
