Associate Professor Pedro Gomis Porqueras

 Organisation: Department of Economics
Title: Associate Professor
Qualifications: BSc Hons (Physics) , MSc (Economics), PhD (Economics) University of Texas at Austin
 

 

Pedro's main research focus is in monetary economics and macroeconomic phenomena. A particular focus of his work is the extent to which the conduct of monetary policy and bank regulation may either enhance or reduce the scope in which to observe multiple equilibria and excessive volatility.  He has also applied the theory of dynamical systems to macroeconomic models, as they cannot be completely understood without the use of a dynamic process. Lately, he has been analyzing how different aspects of the macroeconomic environment can affect different health outcomes. This is of paramount importance to the development of alternative public policies that ameliorate health problems. 

Prior to joining Monash in March 2011, he held several academic positions at University of Miami and Australian National University. He has been a visiting Scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and is currently a visiting Scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis and Philadelphia. His research has been published in academic journals including Journal of Economic Theory, European Economic Review, Economic Theory, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Macroeconomic Dynamics, Applied Economics and Canadian Journal of Economics
