Hello
I am Mattia Fochesato (PhD in Economics) Assistant Professor at the Department of Social and Political Science, Bocconi University and research fellow at the Dondena Centre for Research on Social Dynamics and Public Policy and BIDSA (Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics).
My research focuses on the long run determinants of income and wealth distribution across different world regions.
I am currently working a project on the long run effect of population changes on income distribution in late medieval and early modern Europe and Middle East.
Together with Samuel Bowles, I am also working on a project on the global history of wealth inequality, where we investigate the technological and institutional causes of wealth distribution from the early Neolithic up to the present.
