Rui Sousa

Hi there! I am a 4th-year PhD student in the Department of Economics at Northwestern University. My research focuses on macroeconomics, with particular interests in the energy transition, shock propagation, and financial frictions.

Previously, I worked as a research assistant at the Centre for Macroeconomics at the London School of Economics under Professors Benjamin Moll and Ricardo Reis. Before entering academia, I worked as an analyst and trainee at the European Central Bank.

I hold a BSc from the University of Porto and an MSc from Nova School of Business and Economics in Portugal.
