Recent Research Interests
My research interests are mainly in the field of macroeconomics, with a particular focus on the relationship between technological change and macroeconomic fluctuations. My current research examines the role of international technology diffusion in explaining aggregate fluctuations in an economy. I am also interested in corporate finance and I research the interaction between financing methods and corporate performance.
