Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiego Känzig is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Northwestern University and a Faculty Research Fellow at the NBER whose work sits at the intersection of macroeconomics, macro-finance, climate change and inequality. Over an 11-year trajectory spanning central banks, academia and policy research, he develops quantitative frameworks showing how energy transitions and distributional dynamics shape business cycles as well as long-run outcomes. His research blends theory and empirics, informed by internships and collaborations at the Bank of England, Swiss National Bank and CEPR, and draws on advanced tools in macroeconometrics from his LBS and Chicago training. Diego’s papers emphasize under-appreciated short-run macro-financial effects of climate risks and the ways household finance amplifies policy trade-offs, making his work especially relevant for monetary and climate policy design.
