research overview
- I am a macroeconomist with interests in computational economics, law and economics, environmental economics, and corporate finance. My work combines theory, empirical identification and structural estimation of computationally-intensive heterogeneous agents models to study the general equilibrium implications of law changes and economic policies. My interests fall into four inter-connected areas: • Hardware Acceleration of Economic Models; • Corporate Default in General Equilibrium; • Economic Policy and Uncertainty; • Unintended Consequences of Laws and Regulations. I am focused on the development and popularization of hardware acceleration for the solution of economic models. In this context, I am the first economist to use Field Programmable Gate Arrays for accelerating economic models. Finally, I have been studying the evolution of CEO’s network in the aftermath of the German reunification.
