Tom Holden is a macroeconomist and researcher at the Deutsche Bundesbank with over a decade of experience bridging academic economics and policy research. Educated through BA, MPhil and DPhil degrees at the University of Oxford, he previously taught as a lecturer at the University of Surrey and completed doctoral work in macroeconomic theory. At the Bundesbank he applies rigorous empirical and theoretical tools to monetary and macro-financial questions, bringing an academic rigor to central bank analysis.
