Stefano Grancini

Welcome to my Page! 😀

I am a fifth-year Ph.D Candidate in Economics at NOVA SBE, Lisbon. My advisor is Pedro Brinca.

During summer 2025, I am currently participating in the IMF Fund Internship Program at the IMF in the Fiscal Affairs Department.

In 2024, I have been a Visiting Student Research Collaborator in the Economics Department of Princeton University, hosted by Gianluca Violante.

In 2025 I was a Research PhD Trainee in the Directorate General of Economics of the European Central Bank.

Research Interests: Household heterogeneity, Wealth Distribution, Fiscal Policy, Production Networks, Monetary Policy, Labor Markets

I study the role of micro-heterogeneity in shaping households' and firms' decisions and their relationship with fiscal and monetary policy. I have a particular interest in heterogeneous agent models and I am passionate about understanding how micro-level dynamics can inform the design of more effective macroeconomic policies.

I am a Teaching Assistant at NOVA SBE, Lisbon, where I teach Bachelor’s and Master’s courses.
