PERSONAL WEBSITE

Welcome!

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Cape Town.

After graduating with a Master of Commerce in Economics cum laude from Stellenbosch University (2011), I went on to receive my PhD in Dynamic Macroeconomics (2014). My thesis, titled “Financial frictions and the business cycle,” led to international publications in the Journal of Banking & Finance, the Journal of Macroeconomics, and Economic Modelling. Before receiving a permanent position at Stellenbosch University in 2016, I joined the African Institute of Financial Markets and Risk Management at the University of Cape Town as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Since 2024, whilst at the School of Economics, I hold an Extraordinary Associate Professor position with my alma mater. I currently serve as a Council Member for the Economic Society of South Africa (ESSA) and hold a Research Fellowship as Convenor of the Monetary & Fiscal Policy Research Programme at Economic Research Southern Africa (ERSA). I am also a Research Fellow with the Financial Stability Unit at the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).

My research broadly focuses on the interaction between financial markets and the real economy, and their related monetary, fiscal, and macroprudential policy prescriptions. Some of my recent work studies how asset prices and financial intermediation modify the transmission mechanisms of monetary policy and other macroeconomic shocks. My current research focuses on sovereign debt risk and fiscal sustainability, the sources and mitigation of financial instability, and international financial spillovers to emerging market economies.

My research interests include:

I have lectured postgraduate courses in Advanced Macroeconomics, Monetary Economics, Dynamic Economic Theory, Mathematical Economics, Banking & Finance, Financial Economics, and International Finance.
