Maurizio Malpede

Welcome!

I am Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Verona and Research Fellow at the GREEN Centre, Bocconi University. I am currently visiting the Technical University of Denmark - DTU in Copenhagen. 

I hold a PhD in Economics jointly awarded by Cattolica University and Bicocca University, in Milan.  My PhD Thesis, "Three Essays on Technological Progress and Economic Growth," has been awarded the 2020 EAERE Best European Doctoral Dissertation in Environmental and Resource Economics.

One strand of my research focuses on the roots of historical development and the economic effects of climate and resource extraction in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, I currently study how the gradual expansion of land aridification and desertification, accelerated by climate change, affects the socio-economic growth of different areas in the world.

I also enjoy explaining basic economic principles to an interested audience, yet not familiar with economics. If you are an Italian speaker, please take a look at economiainchiaro.com

Thanks for visiting!
