Lorenzo SPADAVECCHIA
Ciao! I am the Chief Research Officer at Cedacri S.p.A. within ION Group.
I will be soon graduating from my PhD in Economics at Bocconi University.
In the years 2023/2024 I did research at Princeton University as Graduate Research Collaborator under the supervision of Prof. Markus Brunnermeier. I previously had work experiences at the International Monetary Fund, at the European Central Bank, at the Bank of Italy and at the Italian Embassy in Washington, DC. I am also an External Consultant for the Central Bank of Uganda.
Research: Finance & Development
In my research, I mainly study how regulation policies of Financial Technologies affect financial inclusion in developing countries.
