Silvio Contessi

I am an Associate Professor and the Deputy Head (2023-) of the Department of Banking and Finance at Monash Business School, and I'm based in the Caulfield Campus in Melbourne, Australia.

My research, teaching, and policy interests are international finance, macro-finance, and banking. Until June 2015, I was a research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and an adjunct lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis. I am also a Research Associate at the Globalization and Monetary Policy Institute of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
