Scientific c.v. of Mauro Baranzini Mauro Baranzini (born in Bellinzona, Switzerland, 31st August, 1944) first studied at the Universities of Fribourg, i. Ue., and Zurich. In Fribourg he obtained a PhD. in economics with a thesis on economic growth under the supervision of Pietro Balestra, a well-known econometrician. Soon after, in 1971, he was awarded a Florey European fellowship of The Queen’s College, Oxford, a grant scheme set up by Lord Howard Florey, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for the discovery of penicillin, to bring promising European scholars to Oxford. He was subsequently awarded a senior research fellowship of the Swiss National Science Foundation for research to be undertaken, in turn, in Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard. In Oxford he wrote a DPhil thesis under the supervision of David Soskice, John S. Flemming and Sir James A. Mirrlees (Nobel Prize winner in 1996). From 1975 to 1984 he was lecturer and director of economic studies at The Queen’s College, Oxford. After a spell at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the Catholic University of Milan, in 1987 he was appointed full professor of macro-economics at the University of Verona. In Switzerland he was for numerous years a member (and then chairman) of Canton Ticino’s Research Commission on behalf of the Swiss National Science Foundation, and a co-founder of the Centre for Banking Studies in Lugano-Vezia. From 1993 to 1997 he was a leading member (and then chairman) of the Steering Committee that laid the foundations and created the State University of Lugano (the only Italian- speaking University outside Italy). There, since 1997, he has been a full professor of economic theory, and chairman of the Faculty of Economics (2005-2009). In 2009 he was awarded the Lincei Prize for economics, jointly with Andreu Mas-Colell. He has contributed widely to the Cambridge theory of income, wealth distribution and accumulation, by incorporating into the post-Keynesian theory the well-known micro-economics life-cycle theory of Franco Modigliani. His papers have come out in: Oxford Economic Papers, Economic Journal, Kyklos, and many other scholarly periodicals. He has published, often jointly with Roberto Scazzieri, volumes with Oxford University Press (A Theory of Wealth Distribution and Accumulation), Cambridge University Press (The Economic Theory of Structure and Change, recently published in paperback), Basil Blackwell, Oxford and New York (Advances in Economic Theory, and Foundations of Economics), Macmillan (together with Geoff Harcourt, Essays in Honour of Luigi L. Pasinetti) as well as with Routledge. In the early 1990s he sparked off a controversy with Paul A. Samuelson and Koiki Miyazaki in the Oxford Economics Papers on the validity of the Keynes-Kaldor-Pasinetti theorem of the Cambridge distribution theory. He spends part of the year in Cambridge (UK), where he is life-member of Darwin College, and in his chalet in the Swiss Alps with his wife Evelina and their four now grown-up children. He has recently published two volumes on his ancestors going back the 14th century in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, where he has reconstructed the demographic strategies and wealth accumulation processes across six centuries and nearly 20 generations. He is a foreign fellow of the Istituto Lombardo, Accademia di Scienze e Lettere, Milan, of the National Academy of the Lincei, Rome, as well as life-member of The Queen’s College, Oxford. 1 updated: 25/09/2012 MAURO BARANZINI CURRICULUM VITAE Name : Mauro Leo BARANZINI Born : 31st August 1944, Bellinzona (Ticino) Nationality : Swiss Family status : Married to Evelina née Buzzi.
