Recognized as a leading voice in her field, the Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) initiative ranked her among the top 2% economists in the past decade and the top 5% overall.
Azzimonti's primary fields of study are macroeconomics, political economy and international finance. She has published her research in the American Economic Review and the Review of Economic Studies, among others.
