graduate in economics
You can localise to MSc (economics), though this is misleading as the person has an Italian degree not a British one.
dott. does not mean Dr, since a PhD is not necessary in order to be a dott.

economist
I think this covers all possibilities, whether this person is just out of university or is a major world-class authority on economics.

with a degree in Economics
You have to leave it rather vague since we don't know what degree it is. Another possibility: degree holder in Economics

: How is this different from Thomas' answer (except that his fits the context and yours doesn't)?

I don't quite see how my suggestion is the same as Thomas'. I certainly agree with his logic, if that's what you mean. But my answer sounds more natural to my American ears ("graduate" evokes graduate school), which is why I suggested it.
