In the process, he has worked with numerous countries and international organizations.

He is a past editor of the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the NBER Macroeconomics Annual and founding editor of American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics.

He then taught at the University of Essex (UK) and since 1983 in Italy, first at the University of Venice, then at the University of Bologna and later at Bocconi. His research has focused on fiscal policy, exchange rates and the creation of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).

In 2019, jointly with the late Alberto Alesina and his Bocconi colleague Carlo Favero, he published Austerity: When It Works and When It Doesn’t for Princeton University Press. He has been editor of the European Economic Review for a decade and the director general at the Italian Treasury during the 1992 exchange rate crisis and the preparations for Italy’s entry into EMU.
