Attila Ratfai is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Business at Central European University and serves as Head of the MA in Economics Program. His research focuses on aggregate pricing behavior, international business cycles, and economic fluctuations in transition economies.
He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Key research areas include the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic phenomena, price adjustment dynamics, and the transmission of monetary policy shocks across regions.
His work spans historical analyses (e.g., Austro-Hungarian monetary systems) to modern issues like Eurozone spillover effects on Central and Eastern European countries. He has contributed to understanding the synchronization of global business cycles and the empirical measurement of price convergence mechanisms.
Ratfai’s publications address both theoretical and applied macroeconomic questions, with a focus on small open economies and structural estimation methods. His research combines empirical rigor with policy relevance, particularly for emerging markets undergoing transformation.
