He has also examined the short-run and long-run labor market consequences of centralized wage bargaining in Italy.
His current research interests include analyzing the effects of unemployment insurance schemes on labor market flows and migration decisions, and exploring the effects of import competition on between-firm and within-firm wage inequality. Other current research projects of his analyze the interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic incentives for contributions to public goods using micro panel data and running large-scale field experiments.
