Research Interests

My research currently focuses on causal inference and identification in structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models from both the frequentist and bayesian perspectives. I am also interested in other topics in time series analysis, such as integrations and co-integrations, stochastic volatilities et cetera.

Working Papers

• Point estimation in sign-restricted SVARs based on independence criteria with an application to rational bubbles (with H. Herwartz)
• Transmission of shocks in a unified monetary and financial framework: Homogeneity, asymmetry and structural change in the Euro area (with H. Herwartz)

Work in Progress

• Robust methods for blind source separation
• Monetary policy transmission in economies with heterogeneous households
• Time-varying Taylor rule
