Olivier WANG is Assistant Professor of Finance at the Stern School of Business of New York University (NYU) since 2019. He was awarded his PhD in Economics by MIT the same year and he received the AQR Top Finance Graduate Award.

He conducts research in macroeconomics, banking, and international finance, with a particular interest in monetary policy. His recent research studies how the secular decline in interest rates, observed in the US and other advanced countries, affects the macroeconomy through interactions between commercial banks’ lending and deposit-taking activities. He has also analyzed the link between rising product market concentration and monetary policy transmission, and how the interplay between incomplete exchange rate pass-through to import and export prices and currency mismatch in private balance sheets can constrain exchange rate policy in emerging markets.  

Olivier WANG will present a paper, joint with Viral V. ACHARYA and Simone LENZU, at the next Departmental Seminar on the theme:
