Simone Lenzu is a financial research economist in Financial Intermediation. His research spans the fields of financial intermediation, firm dynamics, applied macroeconomics, monetary economics, productivity, and spatial economics. His focus is on understanding how market frictions—both financial and real—affect firms’ decisions, and how these distortions shape aggregate outcomes, the spatial distribution of economic activity, and ultimately economic growth. He joined the New York Fed in 2025. Simone also holds an academic position as an assistant professor of finance at New York University Stern School of Business (currently on leave). He received a Master of Arts and PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago, and a B.S. and Master of Science from Bocconi University in Milan.
