The department welcomes Valentina Fani who started her PhD at HEC last week. Valentina will work with department members Jean-Philippe Bonardi and Dimitrija Kalanoski.
Valentina obtained her Bachelor degree in Business and Economics​ from the University of Pisa. She holds a Master degree in Economics from Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and University of Pisa. She started to shape her research interests during her research assistantship at SKEMA Business School. Her research thesis aims to better understand the competitive interactions characterising industries. She is interested in understanding how firms behave when important reconfigurations of the competitive landscape, including acquisitions and investments by their competitors, occur.
