Eugenio Rojas
Assistant Professor - International Macroeconomics, Heterogeneous Agents, and Quantitative Macroeconomics
Primary Research Areas: International Macroeconomics, Financial Crises, Macroprudential Regulation
Eugenio Rojas received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2019. He joined the Economics Department of the University of Florida that same year. His research investigates a variety of issues in international macroeconomics, including financial crises and macroprudential regulation. His current work focuses on understanding the causes and effects of financial crises, and on the associated design of macroprudential regulation. Specifically, he studies how imperfections in financial markets interact with the decisions of households, firms, and governments, how these interactions shape the frequency and severity of financial crises, and the financial regulations that can best reduce the prevalence and severity of these crises. Professor Rojas has also studied topics in labor economics and the economics of education.
