Big thanks to @ariagolestani.bsky.social, Magdalena Domínguez, and @emmarackstraw.bsky.social for inviting me to the 4th Junior Workshop on the Economics of Crime at @Penn — truly a blast! I presented ‘Mafia in Public Tenders: The Effects on Firms’ Competition’. Great people, tons of inspiration!

Watch out for this brilliant new generation of economists pursuing their PhDs at the EUI! Happy to see co-authors, colleagues, and former students. Thanks @marlenethomass.bsky.social for organizing it.
