Francesco Daveri

Francesco Daveri was a Professor of Practice in Macroeconomics.

He was the Director of the Full-Time MBA at the SDA Bocconi School of Management from 2017 to 2021. Before joining SDA Bocconi, he taught in various Italian and European universities including Università Cattolica (Piacenza campus), Parma, Brescia, Munich and Lugano. He acted as a consultant for Italy’s Ministry of the Economy, the World Bank, the European Commission and the European Parliament. He was a member and the Chairman of the Bank of Italy Committee for the granting of the "Bonaldo Stringher fellowships".

His works on macroeconomics have been published in such journals as Economic Policy, Oxford Economic Papers, Review of Income and Wealth, World Development, Industrial and Labor Relations Review, the Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Rivista di Politica Economica, CESifo Economic Studies.

He was a Visiting Fellow in several universities, such as Harvard, Copenhagen and the Bank of France. He was Op-Ed writer for Corriere della Sera and a member of the Editorial Board of the website LaVoce.info of which he had been the managing editor.

He was a member of the Sustainability Committee of Eurizon Capital and a co-curator of the column "Italy" and team leader of Bocconi's contribution to the Transformation Maps of the World Economic Forum.

Francesco earned a degree in Economics and Social Sciences from Università Bocconi, an M.Sc. in Development Economics from Oxford University and a Ph.D. in Economics from the Università di Pavia.

While his curriculum shows the unique traits of an extraordinary researcher and professor, Francesco was always keen to accept new challenges being the first SDA Professor of Macroeconomics Practice, alongside leading the School’s most important program, the Master in Business Administration. His colleagues, students and the whole Bocconi’s Community will always remember his humanity, his passion for teaching and economics, and his integrity. He had the ability to analyze macroeconomics phenomena in depth while explaining their complexity with very simple words, a gift only great professors can boost. His smile, sense of humor and generosity will never be forgotten at Bocconi and will live in the souls of those who had the pleasure to meet and work with him.
