About
Kathryn Dominguez is Professor of Economics and Marina von Neumann Whitman Distinguished University Professor of Public Policy at the University of Michigan and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She teaches in the Ford school and the department of economics, where she also serves as the Director of the Honors Program. She received her Ph.D. in economics from Yale University, and taught at Harvard before joining the Michigan faculty in 1997. She currently serves on the Panel of Economic Advisors at the Congressional Budget Office and the Advisory Scientific Committee of the European Systemic Risk Board.
Her research focuses on macroeconomics and global financial markets, with particular emphasis on the determinants of cross-border financial flows, macroeconomic forecasting, the efficacy of foreign exchange rate intervention policies, and the management of international reserves. Her recent work examines whether whatever-it-takes policymaking by central banks during the pandemic had larger effects than traditional expansionary policies with explicit limits on scale.
