Profile
I am an applied theorist interested in Financial Systems (Financial Innovation, Banking & Banking Regulation, Financial Stability), Monetary Policy, and Corporate Finance. I use ideas primarily from information economics, game theory, and dynamic macroeconomics. I have become particularly fascinated by the simple concepts of risk pooling, diversification, and arbitrage.
