Angelica Gianfreda Associate Professor P/05
Angelica works on Financial Econometrics, Energy Economics and Quantitative Finance.
"I am honored to join this department and its faculty. I am confident that being part of the dSEA will offer the perfect environment to grow my skills, enhance my academic profile, and expand my network of collaborations. I look forward to contributing to research, supporting courses, engaging with the public, and immersing myself in this enriching academic atmosphere."
Giovanna Michelon Full Professor P/07
Giovanna is Professor of accounting with expertise in Sustainability and ESG Reporting, Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
"I am excited to return to this Department and University after several years abroad. My research interests are in the field of sustainability accounting and reporting, and my published work has focused on the governance process and systems that underpin corporate actions and accountability on sustainability issues, as well as on the role that sustainability information plays in capital markets and for stakeholders. Recently, I am investigating the role that finance plays for sustainability, and how disclosure regulation affects firms' actual behavior."
Salvatore Perdichizzi Associate Professor P/09
Salvatore is an applied Financial Economist specialising in Banking and Finance.
"My research interests cover monetary policy and empirical banking, with a focus on the effectiveness of unconventional and conventional monetary policies on economic development, financial markets and banking stability, green and sustainable finance, bank lending conditions, bank risk-shifting through dividend and share-repurchase, bank performance, credit and sovereign debt dynamics. Recently, I focused on investigating the underlying reasons for banks' continued support of fossil fuel-based firms and examining the role of Public-Guaranteed Loans (PGLs) in redirecting resources towards greener economic activities, thereby facilitating the climate transition process."
Faculty members who joined our Department in January 2024
Leonardo is an applied micoreconomist specialized in Industrial Organization, with a specific focus on Digital Markets and Competition Policy.
"My research interests lie in Industrial Organization (IO), Digital Economics, and Competition Policy, encompassing both theoretical and empirical work. Recently, I have been working on the governance of online platforms (e.g., social media platforms, e-commerce platforms, app stores) and how they influence the quality of their ecosystems. For example, platforms can decide whether and how to moderate toxic content, delist harmful or copyright-infringing products, or tolerate the presence of low-quality products. If the incentives of platforms diverge from those of society, I am interested in identifying the regulatory tools that public policy should use to mitigate this misalignment of incentives."

I'm also interested in the economic structures and development of regions, places, and cities. I often adopt a relational perspective in research, often validated with empirical approaches and the analysis of data with quantitative methodologies. I look forward to working in this new department with new colleagues to understand how sustainability issues can play a role for different organizations and places into their development over time and space."

Giovanni Pellegrino RTDb P/01
Giovanni works on Applied Macroeconomics, Monetary Economics, Macroeconomic Uncertainty and Nonlinear methods.
"I will soon be joining the excellent research group in Macroeconomics and Macroeconometrics of the dSEA. I conduct research in the area of applied macroeconomics and have worked on topics such as the effectiveness of monetary policy stimuli and the effects of uncertainty shocks in different economic environments. I am interested in the use of structural models similar to those in use in major central banks to study the effects of shocks as estimated by frontier macroeconometric methods. I will soon start working on the effects and transmission channels of uncertainty related to the level of future inflation. I am very confident that there will be many productive collaborations with members of the department!".

In my research, I investigate how changes to accounting rules affect the quality, informativeness and transparency of financial statements influencing in this way the real economy (e.g., in terms of access to public funds, credit allocation and corporate survival).
