Davide Romelli is an Associate Professor of Economics at Trinity College Dublin, with affiliations to multiple research institutions including the IM-TCD (International Macro-TCD), SUERF, and the BAFFI-CAREFIN Centre. He serves as an Associate Editor for journals like the European Journal of Political Economy and participates in policy advisory groups such as the CBDC Academic Advisory Group (UK) and the European Parliament’s Monetary Policy Expert Panel.

His research focuses on central banking institutions, monetary policy design, and their implications for fiscal stability. Key interests include central bank independence, climate change communication strategies, and the historical evolution of monetary frameworks. He has developed influential datasets, including the CBS Dataset (35k+ central bank speeches) and the CBI Data (central bank independence indices since 1923).

Recent work explores how central banks address climate risks through communication, the persistence of inflation under independence reforms, and gender dynamics in central bank governance. His methodological contributions span natural language processing, machine learning approaches to policy analysis, and historical institutional comparisons.
