Chair ofInternational Economics

Prof. Gonçalo Pina, Chair Owner of  International Economics, Berlin campus, ESCPAt the Chair of International Economics, we study the global economic environment in which businesses, households, and policy makers operate. Our research and teaching incorporate theoretical and empirical aspects, with a focus on real-world examples, to help navigate decision making in an international context.

Recent research focuses on the effect of trade-shocks in monetary unions, the role of financial innovation in international sovereign debt markets, and the effect of financial liberalization on economic growth. Our aim is for future business leaders to develop the necessary tools to navigate a changing global economic environment.

Research

Research approach

We study macroeconomic and financial policies that are relevant for open economies, combining theoretical and empirical methods.

Theoretical methods:

  • Static and dynamic optimization
  • Stochastic control in continuous time
  • Simulation methods

Empirical methods:

  • Structural estimation and panel data econometrics
  • Linear Projections and instrumental variables
  • Quasi-experimental methods and non-parametric estimation
  • Data collection: web scrapping and hand-collection

Research topics

GDP-linked bonds and sovereign default

Investigates the development, performance and effects of state-contingent debt bonds (GDP-linked), in international sovereign bond markets.

Financial Liberalizations

Explores how different financial liberalizations, for example, opening to capital flows and to competition in the financial sector, interact and determine economic growth.
