LUCIA CORNO
I am Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics and Finance at Cattolica University, Milan. I am a J-PAL Affiliate, Fellow at CEPR, elected Council Member of the European Economic Association and Executive Committee member of EUDN (European Development Research Network).
My research focuses on understanding constraints for economic development in low income countries, combining empirical/theoretical analysis and randomized field experiments.
I received an ERC Starting Grant (2019-2025) to study the reasons behind the persistence of harmful traditions and a FIS Consolidator Grant (2025-2028) to study homelessness and housing fragility.
