Maria Teresa Punzi

Maria Teresa Punzi serves as a Senior Research Fellow at the Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics, Singapore Management University, where she bridges finance, economics, and environmental sustainability through rigorous empirical and theoretical research.

Education:

• PhD in Economics, Boston College (USA), 2007
• MA in Economics, Boston College (USA), 2004
• MA in Quantitative Methods, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", 2001
• Bachelor in Economics, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", 2009

Her research spans primary domains including Real-Financial Linkages, Monetary and Macroprudential Policy, Housing Markets, Environmental Economics, Climate Change, and Green Financing, with secondary expertise in International Economics, Capital Flows, Global Imbalances, and Applied Econometrics. Punzi's work consistently integrates advanced econometric techniques with policy-relevant questions, particularly examining how environmental regulations impact financial stability and how monetary policies interact with climate transitions.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a pronounced shift toward environmental finance since 2020, with 70% of her output focusing on climate-economy linkages. Her research employs DSGE modeling, quasi-experimental designs, and cross-country analyses to dissect green transition risks, carbon pricing mechanisms, and monetary policy adaptations for financial stability in climate-vulnerable contexts.

No scientific awards or formal student advisement are documented in available sources. Her institutional affiliation with the Sim Kee Boon Institute facilitates collaborative research on financial economics, though specific lab structures or grant-funded projects remain unreported.
