Summary
David Murakami is a macroeconomist and final-year PhD candidate at the Universities of Milan and Pavia, specializing in monetary economics, international macro, and financial frictions, with nine years of analytic and teaching experience across top institutions. He has held research and teaching roles at Oxford colleges, Bocconi and Milan, and will join the Bank of England as an Economist in fall 2025, bringing academic rigor to policy-relevant analysis.
