Gabriel Mihalache
International Economics

My name is Gabriel, I study topics in International Macroeconomics. My work centers largely around the consequences of sovereign default risk for the maturity structure of public debt, sectoral reallocation, capital accumulation, and fiscal-monetary interactions. I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Stony Brook University since 2018. I received my PhD in 2016 from the University of Rochester. I am originally from Romania and this is how you pronounce my last name.

News: Friday, Sep 18, Cristina will present updated results for our "Deadly Debt Crises: COVID-19 in Emerging Markets" project at PSE Annual Macro Meeting: SCOR-PSE Chair Conference and Chair Banque de France Conference at 1pm NY time (7pm Paris). New draft coming soon!
