Andrea Ferrero

I teach monetary economics, macro-finance and international macroeconomics at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. I also supervise MPhil and DPhil dissertations on several topics in macroeconomics.

At Trinity, I supervise graduate students in Economics and other social sciences.

My research interests are in the areas of monetary economics and international macroeconomics. I have worked on topics including policy options in a currency union, the determinants and implications of global imbalances and the macroeconomic impact of the Fed on unconventional policies. I am currently looking at monetary policy and credit frictions in closed and open economy, and on the determinants of real low interest rates.

My first job was in the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where I raised to the position of Senior Economist. I remained connected with central banks and other international macroeconomic institutions as an academic consultant, currently for the Bank of England and the European Stability Mechanism. In the past, I also collaborated with the Bank of Finland, the European Central Bank and the Norges Bank. In the academic year 2019-2020, I was the Houblon-Norman Fellow at the Bank of England. I held visiting research positions at NYU Stern, EIEF Rome, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan.
