Giorgio Primiceri is a scholar specializing in Macroeconomics and Time Series Econometrics. His research focuses on understanding macroeconomic fluctuations, monetary policy, and the dynamics of business cycles. He explores topics such as investment shocks, inflation-gap persistence, and the role of credit supply in economic booms. His work also addresses the implications of time-varying volatility and structural vector autoregressions in economic modeling.
