Dublin has become a true home, so leaving definitely feels bittersweet. But I’m truly excited to move to Paris, join the amazing Econ community there, and start working on European issues. Exciting times ahead! See you in Paris, at conferences, or around!🚀

Huge thanks to everyone who supported, advised, and inspired me on this journey! I’ve grown a lot, learned tons, and made lifelong friends. Grateful to my supervisors, the whole faculty at TCD, co-authors, family, friends, and UCD for welcoming me this academic year.

What an incredible journey the PhD has been! Yesterday I graduated from @tcddublin.bsky.social and I'm officially Dr. Arrigoni! 🎓☘️ And as this chapter ends, a new one is about to begin. I’m thrilled to share that in September I will join the @banquedefrance-off.bsky.social as a Research Economist!

Ireland seems to defy the rise of "inheritocracy." The article links this to rapid economic growth. Our paper finds inheritance in Ireland has little impact on wealth inequality, unlike in Europe, due to inheritances aiding property ownership, rising asset prices, and a wage-rental income shifts.

Fantastic to see @economist.com covering our data and paper, published in The Journal of Economic Inequality (with @taramcindoecalder.bsky.social Laura Boyd)! 🚀 econ.st/41jIFXF The piece examines inheritance's renewed role in wealth, inequality, and marriage choices, among rich countries.

I've set up a Starter Park for academic economists in Ireland and those abroad with a strong Irish connection. Keen to add more, esp PhDs and postdocs, so let me know! (Women make up 50% of the 80 academic economists in Dublin but are a far smaller share of this list so far... Help me fix that!)

⚖️ High US interest rates in recent years underscore the importance of this study. Recipient countries can use these findings to inform policies that mitigate spillover effects (e.g., redistribution, capital controls). 🔮 Future research: spillovers from other CBs, types of monetary policy. 10/11

110

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Model's bottom line: inequality shapes foreign monetary policy spillovers to GDP mainly via the financial channel. Do the data support this? Yes. I study the interaction between inequality and financial openness. Financially closed (open): higher inequality = weaker (stronger) spillovers. 9/11

100

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Bond mkt access within-country: constrained ×, unconstrained ✓. But unconstrained HHs differ btwn countries (home bias, fees,...). I raise foreign bond holding cost for country 3, now representing an EME. This replicates the empirical result for EMEs: higher inequality = weaker spillovers. 8/11

100

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

In the baseline scenario (classic spillover), US monetary tightening causes a GDP contraction in foreign countries, a stronger dollar, and reduced exports. As in the empirics, higher inequality (higher proportion of constrained households) amplifies negative spillovers in foreign countries. 7/11

100

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Why? 🔍Theoretical framework Scope: understand what drives the discrepancy of the effects between AEs and EMEs. Open-economy model of Eichenbaum et al. (2021) + household heterogeneity: financially constrained vs unconstrained HHs. Gini generated by income differences between the two HHs. 6/11

100

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

🗝️ Results Inequality does influence how foreign GDP responds to a US tightening. GDP contracts 2/3 times more when inequality is higher than average. But... Greater inequality amplifies the negative spillover effects to GDP in AEs, while it mitigates them in EMEs. 5/11

100

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

📊 Data - US monetary policy shock: constructed as in Iacoviello & Navarro (2019) - Disposable income inequality (Gini): SWIID - GDP: World Bank 📈 Empirical analysis State-dependent local projections to disentangle average effects from effects at higher inequality (75th/90th percentiles). 4/11

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

RQ: How does income inequality within foreign economies affect the transmission of US monetary policy to their GDP? ⚙️ Setting: United States (origin country) Foreign economies (recipient countries) - Outcome: GDP - Inequality amplifies/mitigates spillovers to GDP 3/11

100

Simone Arrigoni @simonearrigoni.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

🧩 Background. We know: US monetary policy significantly impacts foreign economies + Household heterogeneity is relevant for domestic monetary policy transmission However, little is known about how domestic inequality influences the effects of foreign monetary policy shocks. 2/11

📢I'm on the #EconJobMarket! My #EconJMP studies how inequality in foreign economies shapes the effects of Fed's tightening on their GDP. Spoiler: higher ineq = larger (smaller) GDP drop in AEs (EMEs). Mainly via financial channel. 👉 tinyurl.com/4e2y9598 🌐 simone-arrigoni.com #EconSky Thread👇1/11
