Welcome!

I am Leonardo Urrutia, a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Leipzig University, specializing in macroeconomics, business cycle analysis, and financial stability. My research examines how macro-financial interactions shape economic fluctuations, focusing in particular on downside risks to growth and the stability of the financial system.

My recent projects span:

• DSGE and structural VAR modelling with endogenous volatility
• integration of climate-related risks into macro-financial frameworks.

I have gained research and policy experience through internships at the European Central Bank and Deutsche Bundesbank.
