My research program is situated within endogenous growth theory and focuses on the fundamental mechanisms driving long-run economic growth. Modern growth theory is built on two core pillars: human capital accumulation (Lucas, 1988) and R&D-driven technological progress (Romer, 1990). Building on this framework, my research examines how these mechanisms shape long-run growth, income per capita, and inequality, with particular attention to externalities, optimal policy design, transitions across growth regimes, stagnation dynamics, and the economic effects of automation, artificial intelligence, and inflation. Se details below.
MY LAST PAPERS
We study whether policies promoting financial education are enhancing long-run growth.
We find that lobbying can reduce the effects of automation on wage polarization, and through this channel possibly affecting the wage distribution without affecting the skill premium.
The inclusion of human capital overcomes the ‘Empty Planet” result of Jones (2022). The model simultaneously explains economic growth and productivity stagnation.
When considering both country-industry fixed-effects and IV approaches, we obtain an increasing elasticity of labor productivity with respect to robot density across the main deciles of the labor productivity distribution.
