Giuseppe Di Giacomo

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Università della Svizzera italiana. As a first-generation college graduate, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Naples Parthenope. I hold a Master's degree in Economics and Economic Policy from the University of Bologna and completed the Swiss Program for Beginning Doctoral Students in Economics, hosted by the Swiss National Bank. In 2023 I visited the Department of Economics at the University of California Berkeley. 

Research Interest

I am an applied microeconomist specializing in labor economics, focusing on how sectoral shocks, such as automation and tourism, influence labor market dynamics and human capital in Italy and the United States. By examining both the short- and long-term impacts of these shocks, my research provides valuable insights into how local economies respond and adapt to significant structural changes.

My work has been featured in The Economist, LSE Business Review, and LaVoce.info.
