Fabio Aricò will complete his PhD at the University of Warwick by September 2007. He obtained his MSc from the University of Warwick and his BSc from the University of Pavia, Italy.
Fabio’s research interests are focused on the relationship between technological change, economic growth and unemployment. He published a critical survey of theoretical contributions to this field in 2003. Since then, he has been developing his research programme and he has concentrated his attention on matching models with two-sided heterogeneity and skill-biased technological change. From a microeconomic perspective, Fabio studies how forward-looking agents take investment decisions in skill-acquisition and technology adoption when the labour market is characterised by frictions. From a macroeconomic perspective, his research links the labour market outcomes to the degree of technological diffusion, economic expansion and unemployment. Fabio is currently working on the evaluation of alternative policy-making prescriptions to tackle the issue of persistent unemployment in growing economies. He is also interested in extending his work on matching with heterogeneous agents to other research fields.
