معرفی
Elena Carletti is Professor of Finance at Bocconi University and founder and Scientific Director of the Florence School of Banking and Finance at the European University Institute. She serves on the Board of Directors of Unicredit SpA, the Advisory Scientific Committee of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), and as research professor at the Bundesbank. Additional roles include membership in the European Parliament's Expert Panel on banking supervision, the Bank of Italy's "Paolo Baffi Lecture" Scientific Committee, and Bruegel's Scientific Committee.
Her research centers on banking crises, regulatory responses to systemic shocks, and financial architecture design. Key interests include banking supervision frameworks, climate-related financial risks, post-conflict financial reconstruction, and policy uncertainty impacts. Work integrates theoretical modeling with empirical analysis of corporate finance and credit markets during crises like the 2008 financial meltdown, COVID-19 pandemic, and Ukraine war.
Recent publications (2020-2025) reveal three dominant trends: banking turmoil analysis (deposit insurance, loss absorption), crisis-specific regulatory design (pandemic support unwinding, Ukraine reconstruction), and climate-finance intersections (policy uncertainty, risk assessment). Methodologically, she combines firm-level evidence with systemic risk modeling, emphasizing practical policy implications for central banks and regulators.
Professional recognition includes:
- Research Fellow at CEPR
- Fellow of the Finance Theory Group
- Fellow of CESifo
- Fellow of IGIER
- Fellow of Wharton Financial Institutions Center
While specific grant details and doctoral students aren't documented here, her leadership in the Florence School of Banking and Finance demonstrates active research program direction. Current advisory roles with Unicredit, ESRB, and the European Parliament indicate ongoing policy engagement beyond academia.
As founder of the Florence School of Banking and Finance, she directs an institution focused on bridging academic research and regulatory practice. The school facilitates collaboration between central banks, financial institutions, and academics through specialized training programs and policy-focused research initiatives on banking supervision and financial stability.
