I am a macroeconomist with interests in computational economics, law and economics, and corporate finance. My work combines theory, empirical identification and structural estimation of computationally-intensive heterogeneous agents models to study the general equilibrium implications of law changes and economic policies. So far, my research has focused on the following areas: • Corporate default and bankruptcy law • Money-laundering and financial regulations • Optimal social distancing in a public health crisis • Asset pricing and incentives for climate policy In a second strand of research, I am focused on the development and popularization of hardware acceleration for the solution of economic models. In this context, I am the first economist to use Field Programmable Gate Arrays for accelerating economic models. Finally, I have been studying the evolution of CEO���s network in the aftermath of the German reunification.
