Matteo Sestito

PhD candidate in economics, AMSE

I'm a PhD candidate at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE).

My research lies primarily in cultural economics, political economy, and history. Employing large spatial datasets, my current work explores the historical determinants of state-building and group cooperation.

I'm on the academic job market this year and I will be available for interviews.

I will discuss my thesis in June 2024. The jury will include: Nicolas Berman (AMSE), Ruben Durante (National University of Singapore), Cecilia García Peñalosa (AMSE), Ola Olsson (University of Gothenburg), and Luigi Pascali (Universitat Pompeu Fabra).
