Iacono
Ph.D. in Economics, Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway.
My research
My recent research is at the intersection between Public and Labor Economics, with a focus on (i) the measurement of income and wealth inequality, and (ii) microeconometric questions related to active labor market policy and welfare interventions.
I have been (2020-2021) Visiting Professor at the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Siena, Italy. In 2023, I will be Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY).
I am a project participant of the RCN-funded project “Make Taxation Fair” (FRIPRO, NOK 11.8 million, 2021-2026).
Me as a teacher
I teach at the highly interdisciplinary department of Social Work at NTNU, giving lectures (in English and Norwegian) on Economics of the Welfare State, Social and Welfare Policy, and Quantitative Methods. I also teach Microeconomics and Macroeconomics (in Norwegian) at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN).
