Vitor Vidal

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at the University of Barcelona.

My research examines fiscal policy transmission in production networks under real-world frictions, with emphasis on fiscal multipliers, misallocation, and informality across Brazil, the United States, and Europe.

I work at the intersection of macro theory and data, combining multisector general-equilibrium models with empirical identification and sectoral/administrative datasets.

My goal is accurate, transparent, and policy-relevant measurement.

Before returning to academia, I worked in financial markets and built macro forecasts used operationally. That experience keeps my research disciplined and oriented toward results that matter.
