Ádám Zawadowski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the Central European University (CEU) since 2015, previously serving as Head of the Department from 2020 to 2023. Before joining CEU, he held an Assistant Professor position at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business. He earned his MSc in engineering-physics from Budapest University of Technology and Economics, MA in Economics from CEU, and PhD in Economics from Princeton University.
His research focuses on financial frictions, attention allocation, liquidity dynamics, credit default swaps, and systemic risk in financial networks. He also explores econophysics, applying statistical physics principles to stock market behavior. His work bridges theoretical models with empirical analysis, addressing topics like private credit markets, complexity distortions in financial decision-making, and the structural interplay between CDS markets and bond pricing.
Zawadowski’s publications span top journals including Review of Financial Studies, Journal of Economic Theory, and Quantitative Finance. His research on systemic risk in entangled financial systems proposes policy interventions like OTC contract taxes. He has also contributed to understanding liquidity hoarding mechanisms during funding shocks and the role of active investors’ consumption patterns in asset pricing dynamics.
His Hungarian-language publications critique domestic investment fund performance metrics and highlight methodological gaps in measuring fund success. He maintains an active Google Scholar profile and a personal blog discussing financial markets in Hungarian.
