About Me
​
I am a principal economist at the Federal Reserve Board, in the Macro-Financial Analysis Section of the Division of Monetary Affairs, where I work on policy analysis and do research on the interaction between financial market conditions and economic activity. Previously, I analyzed and projected equipment and intangibles investment for the staff forecast in the Household and Business Spending Section of the Division of Research&Statistics.
​
I was a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago and at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where I was also a visiting professor, and interned at Norges Bank and the European Central Bank. I co-taught classes on advanced modeling and macroeconometric methods to economists in academia, central banks, governmental institutions and the private sector. I developed and contributed to statistical toolboxes for macroeconomic forecasting (F.I.T.) and the assessment of quantitative business cycle models (BCAppIt!). I obtained my Ph.D. from the European University Institute.
