Supposedly I am retired, but I am working as usual, if not more. Mostly, macroeconomics research on how to strengthen the fiscal and social welfare architecture of the EU, or other states, if there is political will. I have contributed to: learning and dynamic contract theory in macro and finance; the creation and development of research and academic programmes and institutions, and the teaching and advising, mostly, PhD students. Once in awhile, my concerns become public opinion. I live in Florence, Barcelona and Elba.
