Lukasz Rachel

I am an assistant professor at the Department of Economics at University College London (UCL) and a Co-Director of the UCL Policy Lab.  

I am an affiliate of Centre for Macroeconomics and a member of Dobrobyt na Pokolenia (Prosperity for Generations). I am also a member of the The International Working Group on Russian Sanctions (the Yermak-McFaul Stanford Group). 

During the 2021-2022 academic year I was a postdoctoral research associate in The Louis A. Simpson Center for the Study of Macroeconomics and the Department of Economics at Princeton University. 

In 2017/18 I was visiting the Department of Economics at Harvard University as a Fulbright Fellow. 

From 2008 to 2021 I have worked at the Bank of England. 

My research includes theoretical and empirical work on economic growth, the impact of technology on the labor market, drivers of income and wealth inequality, forces shaping long-term trends in real interest rates, and optimal design of stabilisation and structural policies and sanctions.
