SIMONE ARRIGONI
I have recently completed my PhD in Economics at Trinity College Dublin, under the supervision of Agustín Bénétrix and Davide Romelli, successfully defending my thesis with no corrections.
Currently, I am a Teaching Fellow at University College Dublin.
I am also a Research Affiliate of IM-TCD (International Macro - TCD) and the Central Bank of Ireland.
I am on the 2024/2025 Econ Job Market.
My research interests lie in macroeconomics, focusing on the interplay between international macroeconomic dynamics and inequality in wealth and income. I study the drivers and implications of economic inequality in the context of global phenomena, such as cross-border investments and monetary policy spillovers. In my job market paper, I examine how US monetary policy affects GDP in foreign countries, depending on their levels of income inequality.
You can find my CV here and reach me at arrigons@tcd.ie.
During my PhD, I visited the Central Bank of Ireland as a PhD Trainee in the Irish Economic Analysis division. Before joining Trinity, I worked in the International Policy Analysis division at the European Central Bank. I hold a MSc in Economics from Heidelberg University and a BSc in Economics & Business from the University of Milano-Bicocca.
I am a co-organiser of the Young Irish Economists Seminar Series (YIESS).
