Bio/CV: 

Macroeconomic aggregate data indicates that monetary policy transmission operates differently in emerging economies compared to advanced economies. Alfredo Mendoza-Fernández aims to explore the factors underlying these disparities, with a particular focus on how demand patterns for multi-currency deposits respond to shifts in monetary policy. By applying his theoretical framework, he examines monetary policy transmission in a financially dollarized economy, using detailed microeconomic data from Costa Rica. His analysis highlights the critical influence of currency substitution patterns in shaping these transmission dynamics.
