ABOUT ME Hi, and welcome to my website. This is Daniele, an Italian PhD student in Economics at the New School for Social Research (NY), where I'm writing my dissertation to be defended in Spring '09 at the latest. I am also a PhD student at University of Rome "La Sapienza", and I should defend my thesis there in late 2008. My recent research focuses mostly on models of Endogenous Technical Change, in two directions: environmental policy, and labor economics and growth. Before, I've been working on non-linear dynamic macroeconomic models too. If you want, you can click here to take a look at my papers. I very much like teaching, and I had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills in conducting discussion sections in Econometrics and Microeconomic Theory, both at a PhD level at the New School, and Statistics for Economics at Barnard College of Columbia University. I've also been instructing two Graduate Computer Language Workshops: one in Economics and Econometrics using MatLab, and the other on Mathematica for Economic Modeling. To learn more, please check out the classes I taught or TA'd so far. I have a huge passion and some achievements in music too. I'm the leader and songwriter of a band called urbanSoul, in which I sing and play keyboards. Together we toured for years around Italy and Europe before my move to New York, and we signed for an Italian label in 2005. Our first CD was released in June 07, and you can listen to some of our tunes by clicking here. Last but not least, I owe almost everything I am and have in this very moment to my wonderful wife Silvia, who's also my webmaster. |
