Research Interests: Francesc’s work examines banking regulation design, the interplay between macroprudential and monetary policies, and systemic risk mitigation strategies. He analyzes how regulatory frameworks influence bank behavior during crises and macroeconomic cycles. His studies often use granular data (e.g., loan-level records) to assess policy impacts.

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes macroprudential tools’ effectiveness (e.g., mortgage policies in the UK), derivatives market regulations, and post-crisis banking dynamics. His 2024 Review of Financial Studies paper highlights distributional consequences of macroprudential interventions.

Grants & Advising: Supervises PhD student Frank Chong. No specific grants mentioned in text but extensive policy-relevant research aligns with central bank priorities.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with institutions like the Bank of England and Deutsche Bundesbank through research projects.
