Tomohiro Hirano

Tomohiro Hirano is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Royal Holloway, University of London. He is affiliated with the Centre for Macroeconomic and Labour Economics (MaLEc). His research focuses on macroeconomic phenomena such as asset bubbles, financial frictions, economic growth, and the interplay between epidemiological dynamics and social networks. He has contributed to the understanding of how financial bubbles influence long-term economic outcomes and the effects of social distancing policies on epidemic spread within economic systems.

His work spans theoretical and empirical analyses, with recent publications exploring bubble necessity theorems, crash mechanisms in financial markets, and the role of social networks in public health crises. His research also bridges macroeconomic theory with real-world applications, addressing policy-relevant questions in financial stability and growth economics.
