FERRARIS LEO

I earned my PhD in Economics from the London School of Economics in 2005 with a thesis in monetary theory under the supervision of John Hardman Moore. I emerged from the job market with a tenure track position at the Economics Department of the University of Madrid, Carlos III, where I subsequently obtained tenure as Associate Professor. Having obtained the Montalcini fellowship for young researchers from the Italian government, in 2011 I moved back to Italy, joining the Economics and Finance Department of the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, where I subsequently became Full Professor. In 2021, I moved to the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics of the University of Milan, Bicocca, where I am Full Professor of Economics. My main research interest is still in monetary theory, with a focus on the relationship between money and credit in microfounded models of money.
