Theme 2 - Transmission, Mechanisms and Economic Policy

My research is focused on furthering our theoretical understanding of the macroeconomics of financial crisis. I have worked on understanding why a period of low interest rates ensues and what policies can best assist an economy in this state. My recent work has investigated the effectiveness of policies to mitigate the persistent and high unemployment that came about as a result of the Global Financial Crisis.

Theme 1 - Networks, Crowds and Markets

My research focuses on investigating traditional microeconomic topics in the context of social and economic networks. My models make the relationship structure between economic agents explicit and analyse its impact on economic outcomes.

Currently, I am concentrating on the issues of decentralised trade in networks when agents only hold local information on the network structure.
