Mirko Wiederholt Professor of Economics Sciences Po Paris CV I am a Macroeconomist. My research focuses on the sources of business cycles and the effects of stabilization policy. I am particularly interested in how individuals process information and form beliefs about the future, and the implications for policy. In a recent article with Bartosz Maćkowiak, called Lack of Preparation for Rare Events, we propose a new theory of crises: A rare event realizes, agents who did not prepare for the rare event because it was unlikely take bad actions, and catastrophic consequences follow. We identify inefficiencies and discuss policy implications. The published version is available here.
