João Tampellini

I'm an economist working on topics in economic history, political economy, labor economics, and development economics. I am an Assistant Professor of Economics and the Joseph R. Hyde III Professor of Political Economy at Rhodes College. I also serve as core faculty in the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program.

I received a Ph.D. in Economics from Vanderbilt University in 2026, where I was a Walter M. Noel Fellow, and a Bachelor of Arts magna cum laude in Economics and Mathematics from Rhodes College in 2021.
