On my way back from this year’s Konstanz Seminar, exhausted and exhilarated after three intense days.
Many thanks to all participants for making it such a stimulating and enjoyable seminar. It was a real pleasure to bring this group together.

Really excited about this research preview

The time has come. Starting July 1, '26, I will be returning to @UCBerkeley. I am immensely grateful to @IMFNews for my time there as Chief Economist. In the last 4.5 years we have experienced a pandemic, inflation, war in Europe and the Middle East, tariffs, and energy crises.
