Academia lost a great economist. Those of us who were lucky to know him also lost a gentle spirit and warm soul—someone who didn’t let brilliance get in the way of his unassuming personality, self-deprecating humor. I will miss Alberto Alesina terribly.

Tragic news. Alberto Alesina has passed away. Some of us mourn a friend. Italy loses one of its greatest mind. The economics profession will miss his ideas, reflections, and intellectual provocation. A sad day.

Completely shocked to hear the death of Alberto Alesina, one of the founding fathers of political economy. It is through his early work from the 1980s and 1990s that I felt encouraged to work in this field. Another giant in economics disappears.
