About
Applied economist
Hi, I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at Università della Svizzera italiana (CH), currently visiting Stanford University. I am an applied economist, although I believe that good empirical work cannot be performed without a solid theoretical background. I am broadly interested in topics related to the economics of automation. My research interests brought me into the hearth of the Silicon Valley where I acquired extremely valuable practical experience about the leading tech industry, breakthrough technologies, VC, and startup development. I want to bring some of this experience back to Switzerland. I am open for any dynamic startup which is looking for an applied economist to take care of their data analysis and business development branch. If you are interest, just send me an email. Looking forward to know you and your ideas!
