Research Interest

Main research interests cover the areas of macroeconomics and related fields: economic policy, (especially monetary policy), economic growth, business cycles, international trade, international finance, labor market dynamics. In a more instrumental perspective, research interests are also related to the study of agents’ behavior, namely in contexts of heterogeneity and complexity. At this level, the following topics are relevant: dynamic analysis (applications on difference equations), nonlinear dynamics and chaos, and complex systems.
