I am a Professor in the Department of Economics, McMaster University and Chair of Graduate Studies.
My Research Interests are in the general areas of Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics.
Recently I have been working on sovereign default models, policy reform, as well as closed and open economy business cycles.
My work with Cesar Sosa-Padilla and Ionut Cotoc on politics and sovereign debt was covered in the NBER Digest recently .
