About me
I am a Research Economist at the European Commission, JRC. I obtained the Ph.D. degree from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and Barcelona School of Economics (BSE) under the supervision of Prof. Albert Marcet. I have also held an assistant researcher position at Centre de Recerca en Economia Internacional (CREi) and a teaching position within the Master in Macroeconomic Policy and Financial Markets at BSE.
My research focuses on understanding the links between the macroeconomy and financial markets and how expectations shape asset price cycles.
On the policy side, I am part of the team delivering support for the European economic semester. We provide economic insights on the drivers of the macroeconomic environment through the lens of state of the art DSGE models.
Research interests: macro-finance, monetary policy, learning, behavioral finance, asset pricing, time series and investments.
