Nicolas Caramp

Nicolas Caramp serves as Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of California, Davis, specializing in macroeconomics, monetary theory, and financial frictions. His research investigates how financial sector developments impact real economic outcomes and evaluates policy interventions for macroeconomic stabilization.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017
• M.A. in Economics, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2014
• B.A. in Economics, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2009

His research centers on financial frictions' interaction with macroeconomic stability, sticky inflation dynamics, monetary-fiscal policy coordination, and wealth effects through heterogeneous beliefs. He develops theoretical frameworks to analyze financial crises, government debt impacts on inflation expectations, and bond market cyclicality during liquidity traps, with strong emphasis on policy-relevant insights derived from the 2008 financial crisis.

Analysis of his 2020-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in inflation dynamics (particularly sticky inflation mechanisms), monetary policy transmission under fiscal constraints, and financial market interactions. Approximately 40% of his recent work examines sticky inflation through multiple lenses including debt/deficit effects, while 30% investigates wealth effects and financial frictions, and 20% analyzes bond premium behavior during liquidity traps.
