Welcome to my website!

I am a PhD candidate at the EUI, working on firm dynamics and macro-finance.
My advisors are Russell Cooper and Giancarlo Corsetti.

My research studies how heterogenous firms (re)allocate resources under real and financial frictions and what that means for aggregates such as business dynamism and productivity.

I bridge structural models with firm micro-data.

Research CV

About

I have been a PhD intern at the International Monetary Fund and a visiting student at UPF (CREI), hosted by Andrea Caggese.

I am a part of the team at CompNet, where we are building the MDI — a high-quality cross-country firm-level data access tool for researchers, funded by the EU.

Before Florence, I worked at the Financial Research Division of the European Central Bank.

Previously, I obtained an MSc in Economics from the LSE and a BSc from Nova SBE.
