I’m really passionate about evaluating public policies. With particular interest in agri-food policies. I have a background in cooperation and territorial development with greater attention to agriculture. During my PhD, I expanded this interest by studying new methodologies such as the application of econometric tools. I love working in teams I think this is the way research should be conducted.
The field of my research project is the evaluation of policies in the agricultural sector, with particular attention to the evaluation of eco-schemes, novelties of the new Common Agricultural Policy. Econometric tools are used for the analysis.
A first part of the research project aims to analyze how the new eco-schemes that are configured in the CAP 2023-27.
The second part of the research aims to identify, thanks to a discrete choice experiment, which type of farmer prefers to join eco-schemes. Using a data-based approach, this part aims to contribute to the understanding of the factors that influence participation in eco-schemes, offering a new perspective that integrates traditional economic theories.
