I am an economic historian interested in how institutions have shaped spatial inequality over time. My research, which lies at the intersection between economic history, development economics and economic geography, looks at the effect of Italian colonial investments in Libya and in the Horn of Africa over the long-run. A second branch of my work studies how institutions allowed adaptation to environmental change in ancient Mesopotamia.
