Research deals with financial globalization; teaches courses in macroeconomics.

My research deals with issues in international macroeconomics. I am particularly interested in capital flows and their consequences for advanced and emerging market economies. This includes the linkages of the current and financial accounts, as well as the components of the current accounts of difference groups of countries. My book, International Investment Income, was published in 2025 by Cambridge University Press. In several journal articles I investigated the causes and consequences of bank crises in emerging market countries. I have also studied the policies and programs of the IMF. I have written several journal articles on the IMF and also a book, The IMF and Global Financial Crises, published in 2013 by Cambridge University Press.
I teach courses in the principles of macroeconomics theory (ECON 102), the economics of globalization (ECON 312) and international macroeconomics (ECON 313). In 2014, I was awarded the Pinanski Teaching Prize, which honors fine teaching. I also served as the first Faculty Director of the Madeleine Korbel Institute for Global Affairs.
