Research interests

My research interests lie in the areas of pricing, consumer decision-making, and online reputation. Methodologically, I enjoy both quantitative studies and conducting field experiments. My approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on economics, management, and psychology.

My current research interests include:

• The reasons behind the success of the so-called “sharing economy”
• New participative pricing mechanisms
• The impact of dynamic price variability on revenue maximisation
• Understanding decision making processes in retailing and consumer services
• Behavioural pricing in marketing

I am interested in supervising new doctoral students doing work close to the above-indicated areas.

Teaching responsibilities

I teach marketing analytics and marketing strategy at PG level. I also lead units on research methods at PhD level. I have contributed to the development of new international agreements in Italy and in Spain, including Ramon Llull University and Università della Valle d'Aosta.
