Education: PhD in Economics, University of Minnesota.

Research Interests: Combines theoretical macroeconomics with computational methods to study policy design, learning mechanisms in economic systems, and the implications of bounded rationality. His work bridges formal mathematical modeling with empirical applications in fiscal and monetary policy analysis.

Key Contributions: Pioneered methodologies for solving dynamic economic models with expectations, as seen in his foundational work on least squares learning and taxation frameworks. His research on hyperinflation dynamics and optimal policy under uncertainty has influenced macroeconomic theory and policy design.

Affiliations: CREI, ICREA, and Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Collaborates with institutions like the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank.
