BIOSKETCH I have been
working for the European Central Bank (ECB) since 2001 as an Economist and subsequently
as Senior Economist, and have been appointed Adviser in 2004, Senior Adviser
in 2006 and Head of the International Policy Division in 2008. My main
responsibilities lie in working on and managing a division of 22 staff
members on global systemic economic and financial issues, emerging markets
and the international monetary system; helping formulate the ECB's policy
positions on these issues; and in doing and co-ordinating research on
international financial and monetary topics. Given the broad nature of my
policy work, my own research has focused on quite distinct issues in the fields
of macroeconomics, international finance, monetary economics and
international policy co-ordination. In addition to my full-time position at
the ECB, I am teaching “International Finance” in the Ph.D. programme in
Economics at Goethe University Frankfurt. My most recent papers are on international financial market linkages and sustainable current account positions, on central bank communication, on monetary policy and asset prices, on exchange rate policy and on capital flows. The papers have been published in academic journals including Journal of International Economics, The Economic Journal, Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, International Journal of Central Banking, Journal of Economic Literature and Economic Policy. I have been awarded the Kiel Institute 2006/2007 Excellence Award in Global Economic Affairs (for economists age 35 or under) for my work on international financial linkage and monetary policy, and the CEPR 2007 Prize for the Best Central Bank Research Paper. My prior
full-time professional experience includes being a visiting researcher at the
Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington D.C. in 2000-01;
working as a Macroeconomic Policy Analyst at the Ministry of Finance of the
Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta, for the Harvard Institute for International
Development (HIID) in 1996-98 before and during the Asian financial crisis;
and as a Consultant at the World Bank in 1996. I also spent shorter periods
working at Mwaniki Associates Consultants in As to my educational background, I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy; a Master of Public Policy in International Trade and Finance from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government; a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) from the University of Oxford, Trinity College; and a Vordiplom degree in Economics from Kiel University, Germany. I am a
European citizen, having grown up and having obtained my primary and
secondary education in |
