Short Biography
After spending a very stimulating post-doctoral year at the University of California, Berkeley as a research fellow, I worked six months for a new Swiss think tank and eighteen months for UBS in the Group Research, Public Policy. Since 2003, I have been working for the research department of Swiss National Bank, the central bank of Switzerland. I wrote my Ph.D. at the University of Lausanne, DEEP about the identification of monetary shocks for Switzerland, the estimation of reaction functions of the Swiss National Bank, and the interpolation of monthly GDP. During my Ph.D. I worked for the Studienzentrum Gerzensee (SZG) as a teaching and research assistant, mainly for the Central Bankers Courses from 1994 to 2000. I graduated with a degree in economics from the University of St. Gallen (HSG) and a master from the SZG. In my studies, I put the main emphasis on the macro fields of monetary economics, international economics, and foreign policy. Previous to writing my dissertation, I used to work for different banks, Credit Suisse, and Zurcher Kantonalbank, and for the Swiss Government in the Federal Office for Industry, Trade and Labour (former BIGA, now seco).
