Professor of Economics

Matilde Bombardini

I hold the Oliver E. and Dolores Williamson Chair in the Economics of Organization and I am a Professor in the Business and Public Policy Group at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley.

I am also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the IOG group at the Becker Friedman Institute and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), a Fellow in the CESifo Research Network, and Co-Director of the Clausen Center for International Business & Policy.

My research covers International Trade and Political Economy, including the link between skill distribution and comparative advantage, firms' lobbying, the role of lobbyists, and corporate philanthropy.

I obtained my PhD in 2005 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and my undergraduate degree from the University of Bologna in Italy.
