Matteo Deleidi is a Research Associate at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP).

Matteo Deleidi
Matteo Deleidi is a BE-FOR-ERC Research Fellow in Macroeconomics at Sapienza University of Rome and a Research Associate at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP). Currently, he is researching the macroeconomic implications of mission-oriented innovation policies.

Before joining Sapienza University of Rome, Matteo was a Research Fellow at Parthenope University of Naples and at Roma Tre University, where he obtained his PhD in Political Economy in May 2016 under the supervision of Professor Antonella Stirati. As a postgraduate student, he was a Visiting Researcher at Leeds University Business School, University of Leeds, where he worked under the supervision of Professor Giuseppe Fontana.

Research summary

Matteo’s research activity focusses on macroeconomics, monetary economics, and theory of growth, both from a theoretical and an empirical standpoint.

Matteo is now co-leading the research area “Money, credit and the macroeconomy”, and he is the Co-Principal Investigator of the project entitled “The macroeconomic implications of innovation policy”. The project is developed in collaboration with Centro di Ricerche e Documentazione “Piero Sraffa” at Roma Tre University and IIPP.

Since the beginning of his PhD, Matteo has been involved in several research projects aimed at assessing: the effectiveness of monetary policy carried out by advanced countries in affecting aggregate demand, prices, external competitiveness and the long-term interest rates; the impact of government expenditure on GDP growth; the money creation process in several advanced countries; the effectiveness of several fiscal and monetary policies in stimulating private investment renewables; and the determinants of technical progress and innovation both at the national and regional level.

Matteo’s research has been awarded several prizes, like the Young Scholar STOREP 2020 Award, the “Pierangelo Garegnani” Thesis Prize 2016, the Best Paper Award at the 4th European Conference on Banking and the Economy (ECOBATE 2016), and the Best Young Scholars’ Paper Award on “The youth in a changing labour market”, jointly granted by the Italian Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and the Associazione Studi e Ricerche Interdisciplinari sul Lavoro (ASTRIL).
