His publications include co-authoring a landmark corporate pricing study, “Asking About Prices”, with former Federal Reserve vice-chairman Alan Blinder and others. He has also published working papers on stress testing with “Black Swan” author Nassim Taleb and others, and on early warning indicators of financial stress with IMF co-authors.
