My wife

In addition to holding a degree in philology and to being a certified dental technician, my beautiful talented wife, a renaissance person whom my father calls "neutrino" (a particle that only has mass while in motion), has a zero-waste store. You can check her philosophy and products at Zuzana's corner.

My sister

My brilliant sister, the real brain in our family, is a chaired professor at Columbia University, and the author of many important studies on Slavic medieval literature and religious culture, literary theory, Balkan literature and film, and Nabokov: All the Names of the Lord.

My co-authors

I have a fantastic group of co-authors. I've learned a lot from them, and they make work fun!

My colleagues

I also have a great group of colleagues! And, we are sometimes hiring new economists, as is the rest of the ECB: Job vacancies.
