Welcome!

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Texas A&M University, working at the intersection of macroeconomics and finance. My research identifies monetary and macroeconomic policy shocks and traces how they transmit through financial markets to the real economy — and how economic conditions, in turn, shape central banks' decisions. 

My job market paper, "Joint Identification of Monetary Policy Shocks and Risk Premium Shocks," separates four distinct forces that move asset prices around FOMC announcements: the policy decision, the information conveyed about the Fed's outlook, its systematic response to public data, and shifts in the compensation investors require for bearing risk. 

Before my PhD, I spent four years as an economist at the Research and Forecasting department of the Bank of Russia, where I worked on inflation forecasting and the international spillovers of monetary policy.
