I am a broadly-minded political/international macroeconomist with both theoretical (and computational) and empirical (and policy-oriented) research. My ongoing work extends into the interactions of macroeconomic and public policy with housing, intergenerational climate justice, moral philosophy and political theory, bounded rationality, behavioural finance, information and learning, Bayesian estimation, central bank reaction functions, institution design for monetary and fiscal policy, beliefs and values embodied in culture, evolving institutions and long-run socio-economic dynamics. I have developed an ambitious and promising current portfolio of research projects, and I am motivated to contribute further along such lines, and in particular stressing on the links of economics with philosophy and public policy, as well as interdisciplinarity and engagement with policymakers and the other social – and natural – sciences.
