Ricardo Reis

Ricardo Reis serves as the A. W. Phillips Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) within the Department of Economics. His academic work spans multiple institutions as he participates in research networks including the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), and Columbia University.

Reis is a prominent macroeconomist specializing in the intersection of macroeconomics with finance, international economics, and applied econometrics. His research focuses on the dynamics of inflation and its expectations, central bank balance sheets and liquidity programs, sticky information and rational inattention models, automatic fiscal stabilizers, and the internationalization of the Chinese renminbi (RMB). His theoretical contributions include developing the sticky information framework that has become influential in understanding how information dissemination affects economic decisions and policy transmission.

His recent publications demonstrate a continued focus on monetary policy challenges, inflation dynamics, and central banking in the post-financial crisis era. Reis frequently contributes to policy discussions through comments on papers presented at NBER conferences and serves as an academic consultant for numerous central banks worldwide. His research combines theoretical innovation with practical policy relevance, particularly in understanding how central banks can maintain price stability amid economic shocks and fiscal challenges.

Reis maintains active engagement with policy institutions globally, having served as an academic consultant or lecturer at the Bank of England, Central Bank of Brasil, Federal Reserve Banks (Minneapolis, New York, Richmond), Norges Bank, and the Swiss National Bank. He has also contributed to policy discussions through the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity and various international conferences.
