"Dietro ogni problema c'è un'opportunità" Galileo Galilei

Research interests

Multilevel modelling, with special emphasis on univariate and multivariate models for discrete responses and durations
Methods of causal inference, following the "potential outcomes" approach (D. Rubin, G. Imbens, ...)

               The applications usually concern evaluation issues in the social sciences
