My research focuses on understanding policy consequences and trade-offs in banking and macroeconomics. My applied work broadly covers three branches: (i) combining modern econometric techniques with newly digitized historic datasets to address questions in US and British economic history; (ii) evaluating effects of modern macroprudential financial regulation; and (iii) studing the estimation of DSGE models with Markov switching mechanisms, relaxing the assumptions of rational expectations and introducing behavioral elements.
Research interests: Banking and Financial Economics, Macroeconomics, Bayesian Analysis, Economic History.
