Dr Christopher Bowdler (MA, M.Phil, DPhil)
I have been Fellow and Tutor in Economics since October 2006. In college I teach the Prelims and Finals courses in Macroeconomics and the Finals courses in Quantitative Economics and Money and Banking. In the Department of Economics I lecture on the Finals courses in Macroeconomics and Money and Banking and the M.Phil course in Advanced Macroeconomics. My research addresses questions in applied macroeconomics. I have written papers on (i) the transmission of monetary policy shocks in an open economy setting; (ii) the impact of openness to trade on key features of the inflation process such as inflation volatility, the terms of the output-inflation trade-off and the probability of inflation upturns; (iii) the links between labour market institutions and inflation performance and (iv) the modelling of price and wage data using co-integrated VAR models. Further details concerning my teaching and research are available via on my personal webpage.
