Martina Bianchi

I am a fifth-year PhD student in Economics and Finance, curriculum Finance, at Bocconi University. My research interests lie primarily in household finance, with a focus on understanding the economic behavior of households and investors. I leverage high-frequency and proprietary datasets to study questions related to monetary policy transmission, behavioral finance, and the digital economy. Currently, I am working as a PhD Trainee at the European Central Bank, where I analyze survey data on households’ and firms’ preferences and behavior regarding different payment methods across the Euro area. I also teach (instructor) the course “Empirical Econometrics for Finance” to third-year bachelor’s students at Bocconi University.
