Giacomo Plevani

I am a Postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Economics at the University of Bologna.  I received my PhD from the University of Turin - Collegio Carlo Alberto in 2023.


I work on economic history, political economics, and long-term economic development. I use original historical data to study the long-term effects of shocks, culture, and conflicts.
