In principle I will schedule meetings only on Wednesday afternoons, with a max of four 30-minute meetings per week. Please sign up here.
Except for very short questions, I will answer email queries once per week.
All students I advise are required to participate in the macro/international seminar as well as in the internal macro/international workshop and are encouraged to participate in other departmental events.
