I have taught many courses: Statistics, Econometrics, Quantitative Methods for Trading, Econometrics for Finance, and Machine Learning. In all of these courses, in full agreement with Bocconi University teaching philosophy, my first objective is to offer students a simple but rigorous treatment of the topic of the course. I strongly believe that a little of simple, correct, and deep knowledge is very useful.

Imprecise concepts and vague “stories” and “anecdotes,” are, maybe, at first sight fascinating and alluring, but in practice useless and potentially lead to errors. As opposed to this: practical examples are of fundamental importance if accompanied by the required basic knowledge required for a real understanding of “what is happening.”

Learning with detail and precision requires detail and completeness in teaching materials. I always try to help my students in this, by providing detailed and complete study materials and I am always available to answer their questions.
