The grant follows the conclusion of another of Alfani’s research programs, EINITE - Economic Inequality across Italy and Europe, 1300-1800, that had gained Alfani a ERC Starting Grant five years ago.

FRANCESCO BILLARI

ARNSTEIN AASSVE

In his ERC project IFAMID - Institutional Family Demography awarded with about € 1.9mln, hosted by Dondena Centre for Research on Social Dynamics and Public Policy, Arnstein Aassve uses this perspective to explain demographic trends as the result of the interaction between global change and local cultural and institutional features, whilst the existing literature stresses the importance of the policies observed across countries. Aassve was already awarded with an ERC grant in 2007 for Consequences of Demographic Change.
