Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Kam is an associate professor and seasoned macroeconomist with 11 years of professional experience at the Australian National University, where he convenes the Economics PhD program and represents CBE on the ANU Academic Board. His research blends monetary economics, international finance, political economy and computational econometrics, with a track record of international visiting fellowships and policy-facing collaborations at central banks and research institutes. He leads and organizes graduate and undergraduate programs, supervises doctoral research, and has held leadership roles including president of the Australasian Macroeconomics Society and board membership in applied search-and-matching initiatives. Known for mixing rigorous theory with applied computational work, he frequently implements Python-based methods and dynamic structural models for policy simulation. His eclectic GitHub persona—“economic raconteur” and “pseudo-scientist”—hints at a curious, creative approach to economic problems and an amateur interest in luthiery. Based in Canberra, he maintains active global research links spanning Japan, Spain, Korea, the UK and US central banking communities.
