macroeconomics. Pistaferri holds a PhD in Economics from University
College, London, and a Doctorate in Economic Sciences from IUN in
Naples (Italy), where he was born in 1968 and where he lived until
1993. Pistaferri is one of the co-editors of the American

Pistaferri lives in Stanford with his wife Marina and their three
children Isabella, Bianca and Antonio. In his (increasingly scarce)
spare time, he enjoys watching movies, playing guitar, reading
history, running, and (especially) supporting his soccer team Napoli.
