Welcome to my webpage!
I am a PhD student in Economic History at Queen’s University Belfast. My research examines apprenticeship and labour markets in late medieval and early modern Europe, using archival data to study how skills were transmitted across generations and how that shaped long-run economic growth.
I am a member of the Centre for Economics, Policy and History (CEPH), an all-Ireland centre of excellence linking Queen’s University Belfast and Trinity College Dublin. I was previously part of the ERC SMITE Project team at the Dondena Centre, Bocconi University, led by professor Guido Alfani.
For my doctoral research I am supervised by Prof. John Turner and Dr. Arcangelo Dimico. You can find my CV here or reach me at abrioschi01@qub.ac.uk.
Before moving to Belfast, I completed my BA and MSc at Bocconi University in Milan - where I also developed an inexplicable fondness for fifteenth-century Genoese notarial records.
