Susanna Saroyan

Susanna Saroyan serves as a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) and the Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford. Her work bridges climate science, financial regulation, and systemic risk analysis, with a focus on developing innovative frameworks to assess non-financial threats to economic stability.

Education

• Ph.D. in Economics, University of Toulouse

Research Focus

Dr. Saroyan specializes in modeling climate-related and non-financial risks to quantify their cascading effects on financial systems and real economies. Her pioneering work develops stress-testing methodologies that capture complex feedback loops through supply chains and carbon emissions pathways. She investigates how monetary policy shifts and prudential reforms alter money market dynamics and sovereign-bank risk interdependencies, providing critical insights for central banks and regulatory bodies navigating climate-driven financial instability.

Scientific Recognition

• Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (awarded at University of Zurich)

Research Leadership

As lead researcher at INET and Oxford Martin School, Saroyan directs projects advancing scenario analysis frameworks that integrate physical climate risks with financial network vulnerabilities. Her work directly informs global financial stability monitoring practices amid accelerating environmental transitions.
