Mauro Leo Baranzini (born 31 August 1944 in Bellinzona, Switzerland) is a Swiss economist of the Cambridge Post-Keynesian school of thought.
He was a student of Bruno Caizzi at the Scuola Superiore di Commercio of Bellinzona; of Pietro Balestra and Bernard Schmitt at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland; of David Soskice, John S.
Flemming and Sir James A.
Mirrlees at Oxford.
Later on, while at the University of Cambridge, U.K., he came under the influence of the two senior post-Keynesian economists: Luigi Lodovico Pasinetti and Geoff Harcourt.
He has written extensively with Roberto Scazzieri, of the Universities of Bologna and Cambridge and of the Lincei Academy.
His contributions are mainly in the field of income and wealth distribution, both at the macro- and micro-level.
In particular he has fruitfully incorporated into the post-Keynesian model of distribution and accumulation the well-known life-cycle theory of Ando-Brumberg&Modigliani, within an overlapping-generations model, and with a strong bequest motive.
