Formerly studying for a Ph.D. in Economics at the Stockholm School of Economics with a job market paper on the relation between access to the credit market and business cycle volatility. My other research papers are about monetary externalities in a new Keynesian model, the effects of financial liberalization and banking crises on growth, housing prices and optimal monetary policy rules.
