I am a PhD candidate at the University of Genova, where I study macroeconomics and spatial economic models. My previous work involved using satellite night-time images to analyze the spatial distribution of economic activity (you can find my master thesis
here). My current project focuses on the spatial factors that influenced the spread of the British Industrial Revolution to the rest of Europe. I'm trying to build a model that describes the spatial diffusion of technology and ideas in a rich geography framework using historical data.
