Marco Veronese Passarella is an associate professor of economics at the Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and Economics of the University of L’Aquila, where he teaches and conducts research on macroeconomics, economic modelling, monetary economics, ecological economics, and theories of value and distribution.
Marco is a senior research fellow in economics at the Leeds University Business School, where, from 2021 to 2024, he led and coordinated the WP5 of the EU-funded project A JUst Transition to the Circular Economy (JUST2CE). In addition, he is a senior visiting research fellow in macroeconomics at Angelo King Institute of the De La Salle University of Manila, and collaborates with the Central University of Finance and Economics and the Center for China Fiscal Development of Beijing. Lastly, Marco is a member of the 'Collegio dei Docenti' of the PhD Programme in Social Sciences at the University of Padua.
While Marco was trained in neoclassical economics, he has since questioned the dominant (individual scarcity-based) approach and instead advocates for a macro-monetary reproduction paradigm. Marco's economics pantheon includes a diverse range of scholars, such as David Ricardo, Karl Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, Joan Robinson, Nicholas Kaldor, Michal Kalecki, Piero Sraffa, Hyman Minsky, Richard Goodwin, Paolo Sylos-Labini, Luigi Pasinetti, Wynne Godley, and Augusto Graziani.
Marco is an active member of several academic societies, including Economia e Politica, Reteaching Economics, the Italian Post-Keynesian Network, and the Post-Keynesian Economics Society.
