Biography

Luca is a researcher at Macrocosm. His current research focuses on agent-based modeling of economic systems, such as production networks and energy markets.

Luca holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, where he worked under the supervision of J. Doyne Farmer and François Lafond in INET's Complexity Economics group. He has worked alongside international policy organizations, including the International Monetary Fund, as well as consulting companies and startups. He has a background in Physics.

He collaborates with INET researchers on various projects related to production networks and agent-based modeling.

Learning dynamics in random games

Equilibrium analysis underpins most of modern economic theory but if major economic downturns such as the 2008 crisis are rather caused by endogenous forces, this opens up the possibility for early-warning signals and targeted interventions. So, when is the equilibrium assumption reasonable?
Understanding the economy from the bottom-up

Our models are based on fine-grained data sets at the level of firms, products and industries, with the goal of providing a detailed understanding of the rich and heterogeneous behaviour underlying business cycles, inflation and interest rates, innovation, and long-run growth.
