Adriano Rampini received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago.
Rampini's research focuses on the intersection of financial economics and macroeconomics. He is particularly known for his work on collateral, capital reallocation, leasing, and risk management. His research explores how financial constraints affect firms' investment decisions, capital structure choices, and risk management practices. In macro finance, he has studied the procyclical nature of capital reallocation, the effect of collateral prices on capital allocation, the role of intermediary capital, and entrepreneurial activity over the business cycle. His work on dynamic corporate finance explains why financially constrained firms lease assets instead of buying them and why poorly capitalized firms hedge less.
Analyzing Rampini's publication record reveals a consistent focus on the relationship between financial constraints and real economic activity. His most recent work extends into clean technology financing and household insurance dynamics while maintaining his core focus on collateral, capital structure, and risk management. The articles demonstrate an evolution from theoretical models of financial contracting to more applied work examining specific financial markets and instruments. A strong thread throughout his work is the examination of how financial frictions affect investment, capital allocation, and business cycle dynamics.
