Thanks for visiting my homepage. I work at the Research Department at the European Central Bank. I am also an honorary unpaid visiting professor at the Universidade Católica de Brasília.
I've previously worked (or held visiting positions) at Berkeley; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); the University of Kent; the University of Surrey; the European Commission (Research Department); and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) (Research Department). Next year, I will be a visitor to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
