SIMONE ARRIGONI

WELCOME!

arrigons@tcd.iesimone.arrigoni@ucd.ie

I am currently a Teaching Fellow at University College Dublin. I hold a PhD in Economics from Trinity College Dublin (April 2025). I am also a Research Affiliate of IM-TCD (International Macro - TCD) and the Central Bank of Ireland.

📣 In September 2025, I will join the Banque de France as a Research Economist in the European Relations Division.

You can find my CV here and reach me at arrigons@tcd.ie.

My research interests lie in the area of macroeconomics. My PhD thesis studies the interplay between international macroeconomic dynamics and inequality in wealth and income.

During my PhD, I visited the Central Bank of Ireland as a PhD Trainee in the Irish Economic Analysis division. Before the PhD, 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).
