Biography

Pietro F. Peretto is a macroeconomist specializing in the study of technological change using endogenous growth theory. His research focuses on international trade, growth innovation, market structure, corporate taxation, industrial organization, and the environment. With decades of experience, he has published extensively in leading academic journals and has contributed to key policy discussions surrounding taxation and economic growth. As an Associate Editor for a journal, Peretto's work critically examines the interplay between tax policy and inequality through innovative modeling approaches. His recent publications address complex issues like the dynamics of labor income taxation within Schumpeterian economies, the macroeconomic effects of pollution on public health, and the economic implications of epidemics on innovation and market dynamics. He currently holds a professorship in Economics at Duke University, where he has been since 2009, and previously completed his Ph.D. at Yale University in 1994.
