Dear Colleague,
In the September issue of F&D, the IMF’s Marjorie Henriquez profiles Harvard’s Stefanie Stantcheva, who uses surveys and experiments to uncover the invisible in traditional economic data.
Since earning her PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2014, Stantcheva, 36, has become one of the world’s leading young economists. Among a boatload of awards and honors, she won the 2020 American Economic Association’s Elaine Bennett Research Prize, which recognizes outstanding research by a woman within the first seven years of receiving her PhD. She was the first woman to join the editorial board of the influential Quarterly Journal of Economics.
Stantcheva says she ultimately hopes her research will give economists and policymakers a greater chance to build consensus around social policies that improve people’s lives. More important, she says, she hopes that by understanding how people process information, economists will be able to provide the tools people need to make better decisions.
“Our goal is to find what explanations are useful to improve people’s understanding of core policies that really shape their daily lives,” Stantcheva says.
The ongoing money revolution and its implications for finance, monetary policy, international capital flows and society at large is the focus of our September edition.
F&D delves into Crypto and CBDCs by drawing on cutting-edge research and analysis from economists and other leading experts including Agustín Carstens, Eswar Prasad, Ravi Menon, Tobias Adrian and many others.
