João Nuno Rebelo da Silva Monjardim Quelhas Graduate student

I am a graduate student at the IIES.

My research interests lie in macroeconomics, with a focus on the interaction between micro-level heterogeneity and aggregate outcomes. I am particularly interested in combining rich administrative microdata that I have been working with for Portugal, Sweden, and the US with disciplined quantitative models to study how frictions shape economic behavior and policy effectiveness. My goal is to develop expertise in building, solving, and calibrating structural models that are tightly linked to empirical evidence, allowing for credible quantitative evaluation of economically relevant questions.
