Byrån för makrofinansiell analys

firstname.lastname@bof.fi

I currently work in the Financial Stability and Statistics Department as the Head of Macroprudential Analysis Division. I graduated with a PhD from the University of Jyväskylä in 2009. I did my dissertation on questions of empirical finance, analyzing the effects of macroeconomic news on exchange rate volatility. I have spent my career at the Bank of Finland, mostly in the Macroprudential Analysis Division and sometimes visiting in the Research Unit. I am particularly interested in macroprudential analysis and systemic risk assessment and the development of the quantitative methods used in them.
