Bio

I am an economist with several articles on Empirical Economic Research currently employed as at Universidad Carlos III Madrid working on topics at the intersection of macroeconomics, monetary policy and public finance within developed economies from a closed and an open economy perspective.

I have finished my PhD in 2001 at UPF in Barcelona and since then have held positions in different universities in Europe (LSE, Bocconi, UAB, University of Bern and the EUI). Since my research interests and expertise are related to monetary and fiscal policy issues, I acted as a visiting researcher and consultant in many Central Banks. Recently in the Bank of Spain, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank. I am also a Research Fellow of the Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and a member of the Euro Area Business Cycle Dating Committee (EABCDC) and in the panel of experts for the Centre for Macroeconomics (CFM). I serve as an associate editor of the Economic Journal, the Journal of International Economics, the B.E. Journal of Macroeconomics and the Journal of the Spanish Economic Association. Last but not least, I am a member of the European Economic Association Standing Committee on Women in Economics.
