Felipe Barbieri

Felipe Barbieri is an Assistant Professor in the Economics Group at the Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College. He received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2025, where he was advised by Aviv Nevo, Juan Camilo Castillo, and Gilles Duranton.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Economics, University of Pennsylvania, May 2025

Barbieri's research focuses on industrial organization and urban economics, with particular emphasis on housing and transportation markets. His work employs empirical and structural modeling approaches to analyze market power, welfare effects, and optimal policy design in these sectors. He investigates how institutional ownership in housing affects rental markets and how urban transportation policies can mitigate congestion and environmental externalities.

His recent publications explore the welfare consequences of institutional landlords in single-family housing and optimal urban transportation policies, reflecting a strong trend in applying microeconomic theory to real-world urban and housing issues. These studies often involve building equilibrium models and using novel datasets to quantify policy impacts.

His scientific awards include:

• 2025 Paul Taubman Prize for Empirical Economics Research

During his doctoral studies, Barbieri was advised by prominent economists including Aviv Nevo, Juan Camilo Castillo, and Gilles Duranton. He has collaborated extensively with co-authors such as Gregory Dobbels, Milena Almagro, and others on multiple projects. While specific grant information is not provided, his research has been supported through academic fellowships and institutional resources.

Barbieri's work involves close collaboration with a network of researchers, particularly in the fields of industrial organization and urban economics, and he is actively contributing to policy-relevant economic research.
