Barca obtained a MPhil in economics from King's College, Cambridge in 1979. He also carried out research activities at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1989 to 1990 and at Stanford University in 1994.
Barca is a lecturer in corporate finance and Italian economy history. He worked as a lecturer at the universities of Bocconi, Modena, Paris (SPO), Siena, Rome and Parma. Barca often taught economic development, corporate finance and Italian economic history at these universities. He carried out an interesting study on the Mezzogiorno.
Barca's public posts included the division chief at the research department of the Bank of Italy, chief of the department of development and cohesion policies at the treasury and the president of OECD's territorial policies committee (1999). During his tenure at the Italian treasury, he worked with Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, then treasure minister. In fact, Ciampi appointed Barca to this position. The reason for his appointment was his being part of young leading Italian economists in the 1990s and his reputation which he had gained during his tenure at the Bank of Italy.
