Claudio Daminato

Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at Lund University. 

My primary research interests are in household finance and applied microeconomics. I study policy-relevant questions around the determinants of household saving and portfolio behaviour, and the degree of self-insurance against various sources of risk over the individuals’ life-cycle. 

I am particularly interested in studying the implications of the demographic transition and the process of financial technology adoption on households’ finances and welfare, as well as the determinants of wealth and consumption inequality.

My research combines dynamic programming and structural estimation techniques, field experiments and quasi-experimental designs.

News:

• The Call for Papers is out for the 3rd Arne Ryde Workshop “Micro Data Meet Macro Models: Household Finance,” which I am organizing with Elin Molin in Lund on February 5–6, 2027.

Tarun Ramadorai and Camelia Kuhnen will join us as keynote speakers.
