Barbora Stanová

Barbora Stanová serves as Assistant Professor at the Department of Banking and International Finance within the Faculty of Economics and Finance at the University of Economics in Bratislava since 2018. Previously, she worked as Macroeconomy Analyst at the National Bank of Slovakia (2016-2017) and concurrently as Governance Manager at SwissRe management A.G., Slovakia branch (2019-present). Her academic credentials include a PhD in Finance and Banking (2016) and Master's in Finance, Banking and Investment (2013), both from the University of Economics in Bratislava.

Educational background:

• PhD: Finance and Banking, University of Economics in Bratislava (2016)
• Master's: Finance, Banking and Investment, University of Economics in Bratislava (2013)

Stanová's research centers on monetary policy transmission mechanisms, banking sector dynamics, and international finance with emphasis on Central European economies. Her work investigates interest rate pass-through asymmetry, euro adoption challenges, ECB unconventional measures, oil-gas price interrelations, and liquidity management during crises. Recent focus includes central bank digital currency (CBDC) implications and distributional effects of monetary policy on economic inequality.

Her publication portfolio reveals consistent specialization in monetary transmission channels, evolving from foundational work on ECB unconventional policies (2013) to contemporary analyses of CBDC environments (2021-2023). Key thematic progression shows deepening examination of euro area integration challenges, crisis response mechanisms, and growing attention to digital currency's structural impact on financial systems, all contextualized within Slovak and Central European frameworks.

Stanová has supervised 21 bachelor's and 7 master's theses. She actively contributes to major research initiatives:

• VEGA 1/0221/21 (2021-2023): Interest rates in CBDC environments
• VEGA 1/0613/18 (2018-2020): Distributional effects of unconventional monetary policy
• VEGA 1/0326/15: Financial sector's role in economic recovery

These projects examine monetary policy's impact on economic inequality, CBDC implementation challenges, and banking sector revitalization strategies.

She participates in research teams analyzing monetary policy transmission in the euro area, with current work focusing on CBDC's effects on interest rate channels and distributional consequences of unconventional policies. Her research integrates macroeconomic stability concerns with practical banking sector applications, particularly relevant for Slovakia's euro adoption context.
