Guido Ascari is an Italian economist specialising in monetary economics and macroeconomics. He is a full professor of economics at the University of Pavia and has held the position of Economic Advisor and Head of Monetary Policy at De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), the central bank of the Netherlands, since 2021. Ascari's research focuses on monetary economics, including Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models, inflation dynamics, and the interaction between monetary and fiscal policies..[1][2][3]

Early life and education

[edit]

Ascari graduated in economics in 1993 from the University of Pavia, Italy. Subsequently, he obtained a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in 1995 and a Ph.D. in 1999 from the University of Warwick, UK, with a thesis titled "Staggered Wages and Monetary Policy: a Dynamic General Equilibrium Approach"[4]. Additionally, he earned another Ph.D. from the University of Pavia in 1997, with a thesis titled "A Dynamic Model with Optimising Agents and Staggered Wages", winning the first edition of the SIE (Italian Economic Association) prize in 1997 for the best Ph.D. thesis in economics[5].

Career

[edit]

From 1998 to 1999, he was a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence. Ascari began his academic career at the University of Pavia, where he still teaches, becoming a full professor in 2007. Between 2014 and 2021, he served as Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford and was a Fellow at Somerville College.[citation needed]

In September 2021, following his tenure in the United Kingdom, Ascari became Economic Advisor and Head of Monetary Policy at De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) in the Netherlands, where he contributes to the central bank’s macroeconomic policy research, frequently collaborating with researchers from other central banks and academics in Italy and across Europe.[6]

Research interests

[edit]

Ascari specialises in monetary economics[7]. His research particularly investigates the behaviour of inflation and its long-term economic effects, employing Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models to analyse business cycle fluctuations, inflation dynamics, the interplay between monetary and fiscal policies, and expectation-driven macroeconomic fluctuations (how the beliefs and expectations of businesses and consumers can lead to self-fulfilling economic outcomes). For instance, Ascari has studied how trend inflation affects GDP and under what conditions the long-run Phillips curve may deviate from the classical vertical form[8].[9]

Publications

[edit]

Ascari is author and co-author of contributions on the American Economic Review, the Journal of Monetary Economics, the Journal of International Economics etc. He has also on witten economic forums such as CEPR[3], La Voce[10] , Il Sole 24 Ore's Econopoly blog[11] and newspapers such as Il Foglio[12],[13], and has been consulted or cited for expert opinions[14],[15],[16]
