Michelangelo Rossi is an Assistant Professor in Digital Economics at Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, with expertise in Industrial Organization and digital market dynamics. His research examines how quality disclosures impact consumer behavior in online environments, notably through his CESifo visiting position in 2022.

His academic credentials include:

• Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Pisa
• Master of Science in Economics from the University of Pisa and Sant'Anna School of Economics
• Master of Arts in Economic Analysis
• Doctor of Philosophy in Economics from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid

Dr. Rossi specializes in information economics within digital platforms, investigating how asymmetric information and quality signals like awards alter consumer expectations. His methodological rigor combines industrial organization theory with advanced econometric techniques, particularly non-parametric matching to address selection bias in observational data from online markets.

His seminal 2022 work on Academy Award nominations revealed a measurable disappointment effect where heightened expectations from nominations caused a 5%+ rating drop in movie reviews. This research exemplifies his focus on the behavioral economics of digital platforms and has significant implications for platform design and regulation.

His advising approach emphasizes empirical rigor and real-world application, with students gaining expertise in causal inference methods for digital market analysis. Though specific grant details aren't public, his CESifo affiliation indicates active engagement with leading economic research institutions.
