My research is in the areas of international economics, monetary and fiscal policies, and banking. My research was published, among others, in Journal of Money Banking and Finance, and Oxford Economic Papers. I regulary present my research in international conferences and invited seminars. I am a visiting researcher in the Bank of England.

I am a founding member and the president of a think tank “Dobrobyt na Pokolenia” (Prosperity for Generations). During the pandemic I served as an Economic Expert in the Covid-19 Advisory Group to the President of the Polish Academy Of Sciences. I am a member of the “Experts Club” of the Polish daily “Rzeczpospolita” and a member of Concilium Civitas, a society gathering Polish social science professors from the best foreign universities. I advised Polish politicians during 2020 presidential and 2023 general elections.
