Research Fellow in Economics
University of Cagliari / CRENoS
I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Cagliari and I am affiliated with CRENoS. My work focuses on labor and health economics, especially workers' health, safety, job satisfaction, and meaning of work.
This paper studies the under-reporting of workplace injuries in Italy using administrative data on work accidents. It shows that fatal workplace news increases the reporting of non-severe injuries, suggesting that many accidents remain unreported under normal conditions.
Based on a survey of 3,510 Italian employees, this project studies how workers evaluate autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and how those beliefs compare with actual outcomes in job satisfaction, work-life balance, and working time.
Using a survey experiment with 2,105 Italian employees, we study how information about the potential labor-market implications of Artificial Intelligence affects support for different policies. Respondents are randomly assigned to narratives framing AI as labor substitution, task complementarity, or increased reskilling needs, or to a control group. We measure support for unemployment insurance, short-time work schemes, minimum-income support, publicly funded training, and hiring subsidies. We find that among non-users, the substitution narrative increases support for training and hiring subsidies, whereas among AI users, it reduces support for unemployment insurance and short-time work schemes.
