Martino Tasso

I am an applied economist with an interest in public and labor economics. I work on public finance issues at the research department of the Bank of Italy. I hold a B.A. from the University of Torino (2005), a M.A. from Coripe Piemonte (2006), and a Ph.D. from Boston University (2011), where I taught Introductory Microeconomics, Introductory Macroeconomics, and Economics of Regulation. While completing my doctoral studies, I also worked at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington DC. I visited the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF) in the fall of 2015 and the UCL economics department in 2019-2020.

A complete description of my studies and my work can be found in my curriculum vitae.
