Matteo joined the Department of Political Economy as a PhD researcher in 2022. His research focuses on the politics of digital regulation, especially data protection and competition policy. Particularly, his current project investigates the political economy of the European Union’s digital market design, by looking at the preferences of firms towards data sharing and interoperability mandates.

He holds two master’s degrees in Political Science from the Sant’Anna School for Advanced Studies (Italy) and the University of Florence. Previously, he worked as a Research Assistant at the Italian Competition Authority and as an Analyst at the St Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (Switzerland).
