He investigates how commodity-price shocks propagate to equity and foreign-exchange markets, the predictability of exchange rates using high-frequency data, and the vulnerability of emerging economies to global capital-flow reversals. His work often employs advanced time-series techniques to uncover non-linear dependencies and tail-risk phenomena.
