Fanny S. Demers is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Carleton University, within the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs. She holds a B.A. from Bogaziçi University, an M.B.A. from McGill University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. Her research focuses on macroeconomics, business cycles, investment theory, and asset pricing, with expertise in learning and cyclical fluctuations, financial market risk-sharing, and insurance theory.
Her research interests include analyzing how economic agents learn and adapt to policy changes, particularly in tax policy, and how political risks influence investment decisions. She also explores the role of financial markets in managing risk and information asymmetry, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of risk and insurance mechanisms.
Demers has contributed to significant works such as "The Investment Tax Credit and Irreversible Investment" (2009) and "Political Risk and Irreversible Investment" (2007), which examine the impact of policy and political factors on investment dynamics. Her earlier work, including "Increases in Risk and the Optimal Deductible" (1991), delves into risk management strategies in insurance contexts.
While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, her collaborative research with Sumru G. Altuğ and Michel Demers highlights her engagement in interdisciplinary studies. Details about grants or advising roles are not detailed in the provided materials.
