Research

Research Interests:

Caterina works on topics at the intersection between political economy, environment, and development economics. She is generally interested in studying how political institutions influence environmental outcomes. Her research revolves around three main themes: 

  • Climate policy evaluation (eg. impact on firms decisions and political economy outcomes, such as corruption);
  • Determinants of climate policy adoption at the domestic and international level (i.e. international environmental agreements);
  • Environmental issues in developing countries (eg deforestation, illegal waste dumping).
