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)! 🚀 econ.st/41jIFXF 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.

This is such an amazing effort and a public good for macro research! x.com/KarstenMueII... #econsky

Exciting news! I successfully defended my PhD thesis yesterday at @tcdeconomics.bsky.social ☘️🎉 A huge thanks to the viva commission - Mark Spiegel, Paul Scanlon, @fontananicola.bsky.social - for the invaluable feedback + my supervisors A. Bénétrix & @davideromelli.bsky.social , for their guidance!

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 am looking forward to presenting my JMP tomorrow at the Worshop for Young Researchers jointly organised by SNDE & IIF! Online, tune in if interested in US monetary policy spillovers and inequality! sndeecon.org/filer/dokume... Thread of my JMP here: bsky.app/profile/simo...

📢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. 👉 tinyurl.com/4e2y9598 🌐 simone-arrigoni.com #EconSky Thread👇1/11
