It is with deep sadness and profound sorrow that we say goodbye to Riccardo De Bonis, member of our Advisory Board and one of the founders of MoFiR.
His scientific and policy contributions, ranging from money and household wealth to financial education, have been invaluable to our community.
His kindness, passion, and distinctive sense of humour made him an exceptional colleague, an inspiring presence, and a cherished friend to all of us.
We are deeply grateful for all that he has given to MoFiR. His legacy will continue to guide us, and he will be greatly missed.
The Money and Finance Research (Mo.Fi.R.) group was established in 2007 with the aim of investigating, from both the empirical and theoretical points of view, the evolution of the financial system as the collection of financial institutions, intermediaries and markets and understanding the real consequences of that evolution for the development of the economic system at the regional, national and international levels.
This mission is fulfilled through a variety of activities, including sponsored research, seminars, conferences carried out by a bulk of economists from the Department of Economics and Social Sciences of the Università Politecnica delle Marche, in cooperation with researchers from other universities, post-doc research fellows, PhD students and graduate students.
