Research Summary
My current research agenda focuses on two projects. The first one consists in studying the interactions between business cycles, economic growth, income distribution dynamics, and the structure of financial systems. The second one explores new econometric models and methods that separate permanent from cyclical movements in macroeconomic variables.
