Research

Overview

I am a theorist. Motivated by macroeconomics, I study properties of competitive general equilibrium models, with generational overlap or with infinite lifetimes. Examples are the suboptimality of allocations, the dynamics when forecasts are made using least square regressions, and the dynamics when markets are incomplete.
