Award of £70,000 to Paolo Surico from the Leverhulme Trust
Associate Professor Paolo Surico has been awarded £70,000 by the Leverhulme Trust as a prize to reflect compelling recognition of his research achievements.
Paolo's research measures the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies to control inflation and stimulate economic growth, with particular emphasis on the impact across households, banks and companies with different economic and demographic characteristics. A major goal of the research will be to consider the variety and state-dependence in the transmission mechanism of stabilization policies and how this sheds new lights on long-standing questions in macroeconomics.
These Prizes, with a value of £70,000 each, are awarded to outstanding scholars under the age of 36 who have made a substantial and recognised contribution to their particular field of study, recognised at an international level, and where the expectation is that their greatest achievement is yet to come.
The Prizes commemorate the contribution to the work of the Trust made by Philip Leverhulme, the Third Viscount Leverhulme and grandson of the Founder.
Paolo is an Associate Professor of Economics. His research interests lie in the area of Macroeconomics, Business Cycle, Monetary Economics and Applied Econometrics.
