Danilo Spinola

Welcome to my professional page!

Hello, I'm Danilo Spinola. I serve as the Director of the Center for Accountancy, Finance, and Economics (CAFÉ) and as a Senior Lecturer in Economics at the Birmingham City Business School. I completed my PhD at Maastricht University/UNU-Merit and am an affiliated researcher with the United Nations University.

My research focuses on the interplay between macroeconomic dynamics, structural change, and economic development, particularly in developing countries. I have published articles, working papers, and book chapters on topics such as demand-led industrialization policies, the demand-led growth model, and the effects of financial integration and fiscal policy on development. My work appears in journals like Metroeconomica, Review of Political Economy, and Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, covering areas such as industrial policy, economic resilience, and balance of payments constraints.
