Research Summary
My research agenda focuses on two projects. The first consists in studying the dynamic interactions between business cycles, economic growth, income distribution, and the structure of financial systems. The second explores new econometric models and methods aimed at identifying the permanent and cyclical fluctuations that determine the different states of the economy, as well as their potential dynamic interactions.
