What an incredible journey the PhD has been! Yesterday I graduated from @tcddublin.bsky.social and I'm officially Dr. Arrigoni! 🎓☘️

And as this chapter ends, a new one is about to begin. I’m thrilled to share that in September I will join the @banquedefrance-off.bsky.social as a Research Economist!

Fantastic to see @economist.com covering our data and paper, published in The Journal of Economic Inequality (with @taramcindoecalder.bsky.social Laura Boyd)! 🚀

The piece examines inheritance's renewed role in wealth, inequality, and marriage choices, among rich countries.

Today marks the third anniversary of Russia’s unjustified invasion of Ukraine.

We continue to stand with the people of Ukraine, who have been suffering through this horrific aggression.

I've set up a Starter Park for academic economists in Ireland and those abroad with a strong Irish connection. Keen to add more, esp PhDs and postdocs, so let me know!
(Women make up 50% of the 80 academic economists in Dublin but are a far smaller share of this list so far... Help me fix that!)

📢I'm on the #EconJobMarket!

My #EconJMP studies how inequality in foreign economies shapes the effects of Fed's tightening on their GDP.

Spoiler: higher ineq = larger (smaller) GDP drop in AEs (EMEs). Mainly via financial channel.
