Welcome!
I am Niccolò Zaccaria, a PhD candidate in Economics at Tilburg University.
My research focuses on price rigidities and firm dynamics. I also study how AI and large language models affect economic signals and aggregate outcomes.
My supervisors are Burak Uras and Sigrid Suetens.
In Spring 2026 I visited the Department of Economics at New York University.
