Twenty One New International Entries for the Faculty in 2015/2016
A new assistant professor has been recruited during the summer, on top of the twenty new professors, recruited on the international academic job market, who will reinvigorate, next year, the Bocconi Departments. Most of them are assistant professors, but there are also adjuncts (three), associate- (two) and full-professors.
The last recruit is Gabriel Pereira Pündrich, a financial reporting expert who will join the Department of Accounting.
The Departments with the largest intakes are Economics, Marketing and Management and Technology, with four new entries each, followed by the Department of Policy Analysis and Public Management with three, Finance and Legal Studies with two each and Decision Sciences and Accounting with one.
The Department of Economics is enriched by an expert in job markets (Thomas Le Barbanchon), an expert of experimental economics (Salvatore Nunnari), a researcher in industrial and international economics (Tom Schmitz) and a microeconomist (Sara Negrelli).
The Department of Management and Technology will enjoy new knowledge about corporate social responsibility (Christiane Bode), sustainability (Anne Jacqueminet), demographics (Letizia Mencarini), networks (Marco Tortoriello).
The knowledge of the new entries into the Department of Marketing regards the relation between marketing and economic development (Thomas Eichentopf), consumers' decision process (Joachim Vosgerau and Ioannis Evengelidis) and customers retention and fidelization (Joseph Nunes).
A labor economist (Massimo Anelli), a scholar of international organization (Gulia Cappellaro) and an arts historian (Stefania Gerevini) join the Department of Policy Analysis and Public Management. Banks (Filippo De Marco) and shocks' transmission in firm networks (Julien Sauvagnat) are the research topics of the new Department of Finance professors; comparative business law (Matteo Erede) and international criminal law (Paola Gaeta) those studied by the Department of Legal Studies new entries. Paolo Pin, who joins the Department of Decision Sciences, concentrates on economic analysis of social networks.
