Marco Le Moglie

Marco Le Moglie serves as an Associate Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics and Finance, Faculty of Economics, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan since 2023. He concurrently holds Research Affiliate positions at Bocconi University's Dondena Center for Research on Social Dynamics and Public Policy (2016–present) and BAFFI-CAREFIN Center for Applied Research on International Markets, Banking, Finance and Regulation (2020–present).

His academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Turin and Collegio Carlo Alberto (2013–2016). Prior appointments encompass Assistant Professor at Catholic University (2020–2023), Post-Doctoral Fellow at Bocconi University (2016–2020), and consultancy roles with the World Bank, United Nations, and European Commission.

Le Moglie's research critically examines intersections between Economics of Crime, Political Economy, and Public Economics through empirical analysis of organized crime networks, corruption mechanisms, and policy interventions. His methodology frequently employs machine learning, sequence analysis, and natural experiments to investigate societal impacts of epidemics, migration drivers, and fertility determinants, with particular focus on Italian institutional contexts and cross-border phenomena in Europe and the Americas.

Recent publications (2021–2024) reveal consistent thematic trajectories analyzing crime-economy linkages (oil theft, mafia enterprises), corruption-populism dynamics, and pandemic-related behavioral shifts. His work spans top journals including The Economic Journal, The Journal of Politics, and Demography, demonstrating methodological innovation through machine learning applications in social science and interdisciplinary integration of historical epidemiological data.

As principal investigator on multiple European Research Council projects – CLEAN (2020–present), IFAMID (2017–2022), and SWELL-FER (2013–2019) – Le Moglie has secured substantial funding for research on crime evidence, family demography, and well-being. His grant portfolio emphasizes longitudinal analysis of institutional trust, demographic transitions, and illicit market adaptations during economic crises.

He maintains active affiliations with DONDENA, BAFFI-CAREFIN, and CIFREL research centers, facilitating collaborative work on social dynamics, financial regulation, and policy evaluation. Current teaching responsibilities include Public Economy (Master's level) and Public Science (Bachelor's level), with office hours held Wednesdays 3:00–4:00 PM at Via Necchi 5, Room 208.
