ABOUT

I'm an Assistant Professor of Managerial Economics at the KU Leuven.

I'm affiliated with Department  of Management Strategy and Innovation (MSI) and the IO group.

My research focuses on the role of the trade and enforcement of intellectual property on firms' innovative performance. I combine US patent data, patent-litigation data and firm-level industry information to estimate structural models and test theoretical predictions about the role of IP and innovation.

I am an alumni of Massey College, and of the School of advanced Studies of the University of Udine.
