About me:
I am a Senior Research Economist at the Central Bank of Malta.
My research focuses on Macroeconomics and Labour Economics with particular interests in general equilibrium macroeconomic models with heterogeneous agents and models incorporating labour frictions. Currently, I also study the effects of fiscal policy, particularly public sector employment and public sector output, on aggregate output, employment, and other macroeconomic outcomes in these modelling environments. I study these questions using Heterogeneous Agent New Keynesian (HANK) models with incomplete asset markets and search and matching frictions in the labour market.
I received my PhD from the Economics Department of the University of Essex, supervised by Alex Clymo and Andreas Mueller.
