Daniele Angelini
European University InstituteI am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the European University Institute (Florence, Italy) under the supervision of Philipp Kircher and Andrea Mattozzi. I am an applied theorist interested in Labor Markets, Demographic change, and Technological adoption. In my Job Market Paper, I analyze the effect of a change in the age composition of the demand on productivity growth. Consumers of different ages have different abilities, tools, and time to search for goods; a demographic change, therefore, leads to changes in firms' strategies affecting prices, production, and productivity.
