FERRARIS LEO

I earned my PhD in Economics from the London School of Economics in 2005. After the PhD, I moved on to a tenure track position at the Economics Department of the University of Madrid, Carlos III, where I subsequently obtained tenure as associate professor in 2011. Having obtained the Montalcini fellowship for young researchers from the Italian government, I then moved back to Italy, joining the Economics and Finance Department of the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, where I became full professor in 2015. In 2021, I moved to the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics of the University of Milan-Bicocca, where I have been head of department for three years starting in the fall of 2022. In the fall of 2025, I have been appointed vice-rector for reasearch. My main research interests are in monetary and macroeconomic theory.
