Johns Hopkins SAIS names Federico Rossi the first Vera and Stefano Zamagni Assistant Professor of Economic Development
The Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) has named Federico Rossi the first Vera and Stefano Zamagni Assistant Professor of Development Economics.
“Federico Rossi joins SAIS Europe as our first Vera and Stefano Zamagni Assistant Professor of Economic Development. His research interests lie at the intersection of applied macroeconomics and economic development, with a focus on human capital,” said Michael G. Plummer, SAIS Europe Director and ENI Professor of International Economics. “His eclectic work on the determinants of cross-country educational outcomes, as well as the cost of barriers to college educational attainment, will soon make their mark on the literature.”
Dr. Rossi will be teaching both in the Master of Arts and Master of Arts in Global Risk programs. Prior to joining SAIS Europe, he was a Research Officer and Teaching Fellow at the Centre for Macroeconomics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). His areas of expertise focus on human capital and economic growth.
He has presented papers at the International Economic Association (IEA) World Congress, Barcelona Graduate School of Economics Summer Forum, Simposio of the Spanish Economic Association, the Royal Economic Society Annual Conference, Marco Fanno Alumni Workshop, Italian Congress of Econometrics and Empirical Economics, and Petralia Applied Economics Workshop.
Rossi is completing a PhD in Economics and received an MRes in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and earned an MSc in Statistics from the University of Bologna.

Johns Hopkins SAIS offers a global perspective across three campus locations: Bologna, Italy; Nanjing, China; and Washington, D.C. The school’s interdisciplinary curriculum is strongly rooted in the study of international economics, international relations, and regional studies, preparing students to address multifaceted challenges in the world today.
