Alan M. Taylor is a prominent Research Fellow at National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). He holds a permanent affiliation with Columbia University in the United States, where he contributes to economics research.

His research spans financial history, macroeconomic policy, international trade, and capital market dynamics. Key themes include credit cycles, monetary policy, economic crises, and historical financial systems. He has extensively analyzed the trilemma of exchange rates, monetary policy, and capital mobility, and pioneered work on long-term rate of return data across capital assets.

O'Rourke demonstrate interdisciplinary engagement. His empirical methodology emphasizes local projections, historical econometrics, and long-run equilibrium modeling in international finance.
