Radoslaw Stefanski

Radoslaw (Radek) Stefanski is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Economics and Finance, University of St Andrews. His research focuses on Macroeconomics, Growth and Development, Natural Resources, and International Trade, with a particular emphasis on fossil fuel subsidies, resource economics, and structural transformation. He has held academic positions at Laval University, the University of Oxford, and the University of Minnesota, where he taught courses in macroeconomics, economic development, and microeconomics.

His work analyzes the economic implications of resource dependency, including the 'resource curse,' taxation in oil industries, and policy reforms to reduce fossil fuel subsidies. He has published in top journals like the Economic Journal and Journal of International Economics, and his research has been featured in media outlets such as The Economist and VOX EU.

Stefanski's articles often bridge theoretical models with empirical analysis, addressing topics like real exchange rate appreciation from resource discoveries, long-run money dynamics, and the mechanics of green growth models. His contributions to policy include advising on oil revenue management in Ghana and advocating for subsidy reforms to combat climate change.
