Macroeconomist - Trainer And Practitioner
Professional Value
Michael , a macroeconomist, helps central bank training teams design and deliver analytical tools that improve policy formulation and foster high‑trust organisational cultures.

Executive Profile
Michael is a macro-economist who currently works as an Assistant Professor, teaching both undergraduate and graduate level macroeconomics and applied econometrics. His teaching experience includes all levels (undergraduate, MSc, PhD, and MBA) and he has taught at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. In addition, he has been awarded numerous teaching prizes from these institutions.
He also has experience working for three different central banks. He continues to be employed as a consultant in a central bank, where, in addition to research and policy work, he runs some of their economist training.
Michael's graduate training (PhD, MRes, MSc) was all in macroeconomics from the London School of Economics, and he read economics for his undergraduate (BA) at Trinity College Dublin.
His teaching philosophy is that economics is not a set of rules and laws that necessarily hold. Instead, it is a way of thinking and a set of analytical tools, which, once understood, allow the user to address and explain any topic.
He also tends to emphasise the practical application of these tools as much as the theoretical elements that are typically covered in macroeconomics training.
