Daniel Kaufmann
I hold the Chair of Applied Macroeconomics at the University of Neuchâtel. Moreover, I am a Research Fellow at the
KOF Swiss Economic Institute, ETH Zurich, co-editor of the Swiss
Journal of Economics and Statistics and regularly write articles on
policy-relevant macroeconomic questions. My research investigates inflation, output, interest rate, and exchange rate
dynamics over long historical episodes. I am also interested in the causal
effects of central banks’ actions and the role of nominal rigidities.
