His research covers the fields of labor economics and urban economics. He has received several awards and honors, including the Society of Labor Economists’ Rosen Prize for outstanding contributions to labor economics, the Carlo Alberto Medal, the IZA Young Labor Economist Award, and a Fulbright Fellowship. He is an elected Fellow of the Econometric Society, the Society of Labor Economists and the European Association of Labour Economists. Between 2015 and 2020 he was the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Economic Perspectives.[3]
Along with over 70 articles in peer-reviewed economics journals, Moretti's 2012 book for general audiences, The New Geography of Jobs, has received widespread attention.[4] The book was described by Barack Obama in 2019 as “a timely and smart discussion of how different cities and regions have made a changing economy work for them — and how policymakers can learn from that to lift the circumstances of working Americans everywhere."[4] It was described by Paul Krugman in The New York Times as “a must reading for anyone trying to understand the state of America” and by William Galston in The Wall Street Journal as “the most important book of the decade on the contemporary economy."[5][6] The book has been translated into eight languages and was awarded the William Bowen Prize by Princeton University[7] for the most important contribution toward understanding public policy and the labor market.
In addition to his work in labor economics and economic geography, Moretti has published peer-reviewed articles on the social returns to education; social interactions and peer effects; health economics; political economy; and the economics of the family.[4]
