Alessandro Giacardi
I’m a PhD Candidate in Development Economics at Sapienza University of Rome, and a Research Fellow at the Food Insecurity and Poverty Observatory Lab.
My broader research interests lie in the micro-level determinants and channels of adaptation to co-variate shocks, with particular attention to risk perception, gendered dynamics, and local risk management mechanisms.
In 2025/2026, I visited the Nova School of Business and Economics (NOVA Sbe), hosted by the NOVAFRICA Knowledge center. In 2024, I visited the Paris School of Economics (PSE) within the Development Group.

When I’m not working, you can find me cooking, rowing, or tackling Arabic.
