"The ultimate aim of monetary policy, in our view, should be the maximization of the expected utility of households." (Pierpaolo Benigno & Michael Woodford, October 2004).
In the Spring of 2024 I visited the Pompeu Fabra University, under the supervision of Professors Jordi Galí and Davide Debortoli. It has been an invaluable opportunity to strengthen my knowledge on Empirical Macroeconomics (with Professor Barbara Rossi), and to improve my doctoral thesis focused on optimal monetary and fiscal policy. I also have to thank Professor Edouard Schaal for his wise advice on Heterogeneous-Agent New Keynesian models.
In those days, I attended a presentation by the legendary Professor Florin Bilbiie, who I then had the pleasure of meeting in person. Finally, I participated in a lecture by Professor Benjamin Moll, on the occasion of his award as the 8th Calvó-Armengol Prize Laureate.
