Summary
👤
SeniorRandolph Luca Bruno is an applied economist and academic leader with 26 years of experience bridging comparative and development economics, labour economics, international business and innovation studies. He holds a PhD from Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies and splits his time between roles at Università Cattolica and University College London, with visiting appointments at LSE and several European universities. His research, published in top outlets like JIBS and the Review of Economics and Statistics, addresses firm entry, FDI in weak institutional settings, labour market dynamics and long-run technology upgrading, and has informed Horizon2020 and DFID-funded projects. Bruno combines academic leadership—secretary of the European Association of Comparative Economic Studies and editorial board membership—with practical policy consultancy for the World Bank, the European Commission and the UK Government. Unusually for an economist, he also contributes to embedded and open-source projects (notably STM32L4 support in libopencm3 and package work for OpenWrt), reflecting hands-on technical skills and an interdisciplinary curiosity. He supervises PhD research in development and institutional economics and brings pre-doctoral quantitative experience in finance and macroeconomics to applied policy questions.
