Pamela Giustinelli is an associate professor of economics in the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Padova and an associate editor of the Economic Journal.

Prof. Giustinelli holds a Bachelor in Business Economics from the University of Verona, a Master's in Economics from Bocconi University, and a PhD in Economics from Northwestern University.

Prof. Giustinelli is an applied microeconometrician interested in uncertainty, heterogeneity, and measurement. Prof. Giustinelli's research explores the microeconomics and econometrics of individuals' subjective expectations, and studies how expectations and perceptions shape microeconomic behavior under uncertainty, by combining tools from applied microeconomic theory, theory-based survey measurement, and applied microeconometrics. Much of Prof. Giustinelli's work has a human-capital focus, with applications in the economics of education, the family, health, labor, climate change, and firm behavior, including questions at the intersections of these fields.
