Past Students


Alexis Anagnostopoulos
PhD, London Business School 2006. Placement: Department of Economics, SUNY at Stony Brook
Alexis works on quantitative macroeconomics and international macroeconomics. Alexis has great quantitative skills and is working on models with endogeneous market incompleteness, on the welfare costs of market imperfections, and related topics.

Clara Barrabes Solanes
PhD, EUI, 2007. Placement: Research Department, BBVA, Madrid
Clara works on macro-labor. She has written very nice papers on centralized bargaining and skill change, on skill loss/gain and unemployment dynamics, and on the estimation of DSGE models with matching.

Eva Carceles
PhD, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2001. Placement: Department of Economics, SUNY at Stony Brook
Eva works on macroeconomics and on macrofinance. She has worked on models with heterogeneous agents combined with firms that own the capital stock. Under these circumstances the value of the firm may no longer correspond to the (replacement) value of the capital stock. In a recent paper in Economics Letters Eva shows a very interesting equivalence result between capital adjustment costs and risk aversion in such type of models.

Lilia Maliar
PhD, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 1999. Placement: Department of Economics, University of Alicante
Lilia works on macroeconomic theory and has published a number of papers in excellent journals on topics such as aggregation in dynamic models, business cycles and hyperbolic discounting. Lilia has also worked on quantitative methods, on income and wealth distribution etc. Look at her home page for her excellent track record!

Serguei Maliar
PhD, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 1999 Placement: Department of Economics, University of Alicante
Lilia and Serguie have worked together so what is said above is true for Serguei as well.

Gregorios Siourounis
PhD, London Business School, 2005. Placement: University of Peloponnese
Greg works on international economics and applied macroeconomics. Greg's has written a very interesting job market paper on the relationship between nominal exchange rates and international capital flows. Greg shows that bilateral flows of equity helps explaining movements in the bilateral US dollar rate. He also shows that the random walk model can be beaten in an out-of-sample forescating exercise. The work provides empirical support for some recent theories of nominal exchange rate determination.
