- Computational Economics
I am a macroeconomist with particular interest in questions related to the transmission and conduct of monetary, fiscal and macro-prudential policy. The methodology I employ is both theoretical and applied. I develop DSGE models to inform policy makers and to produce novel insights. I also use empirical methods to estimate reduced form and structural models. I am interested in developing and applying computationally intensive methods, which is supported by my strong background in computer science.
