Research

International Finance & exchange rates modelling with a focus on exchange rates policies by central banks and theoretical development of target zone models.
Macroeconomics and Labour Economics, with a focus on firms’ dynamic consumption, investment and employment decisions under uncertainty and their impact on international competitiveness.
