Research

My research to date concerns the interlinkage between the environment, finance, and global macroeconomics, explored from various vantage points. My current research interests also include green monetary policy, climate and environmental risks, the economics of biodiversity, shadow banking, and green finance.

My future research plan includes advancing the understanding of the financial system's role in fostering the low-carbon transition, providing further insights into how finance can address climate challenges.
