Paolo Gelain

I am a senior economist in the modelling group of Norges Bank. I obtained hmy PhD from the University of Pisa (Italy) in May 2008 defending a thesis on the monetary policy analysis of the Euro Area using a DSGE model incorporating credit frictions. I previously studied at The University of York (UK) where I got a Master of Science in Economics (with distinction). I was a visiting researcher (June-Sept. 2008 and Feb-April 2009) at the Central Bank of Estonia and I was an intern at the European Central Bank in the period Oct.-Dec. 2008 (Monetary Policy Stance Division) and in the period May-July 2009 (Capital Markets and Financial Structure Division). Before joining Norges Bank, I spent one year as a May Wong Smith post-doctoral research fellow at the University of St Andrews (UK).
