Maria T Gonzalez-Perez

I'm Senior Economist at the Bank of Spain in Madrid, Spain. 

 

At the core of my work as a Senior Economist at the Bank of Spain is the conviction that a precise understanding and measurement of risk and volatiltiy, specially inflation volatility, market and credit risk, is indispensable for sound monetary policy and financial stability.

 

My career combines two equally important pillars: rigorous research and academic experience (teaching econometrics and macroeconomics and publishing on advanced volatility measures and inflation volatility under rational inattention) and policy work, closely engaged with research questions of interest, data, markets and policy implementation. Together, these perspectives enable me to analyse the real economy and financial markets as a unified system and to develop rigorous, data‑driven and model‑driven frameworks that help central banks manage uncertainty and interpret their joint dynamics.
