Work in Progress
Banking Fragmentation and Monetary Policy Transmission
Work in Progress (with Rustam Jamilov and Alexander Haas). We use ECB loan-level microdata to study how deposit insurance fragmentation affects the transmission of monetary policy across the euro area, combined with an open-economy model of heterogeneous financial intermediaries.
Green Transition in Housing Markets and Optimal Policy
Work in Progress. I study heterogeneous returns to energy-saving technologies across locations and property types in the UK using administrative data from Energy Performance Certificates, the National Energy Efficiency Data framework, and the ECO programme, combined with a spatial general equilibrium model.
