CEPR is working in partnership with UBS to celebrate contributions of women in economics, with a series of portraits and video interviews on a dedicated website.

The twelfth economist to be featured is Stephanie Schmitt-Grohé, Professor of Economics at Columbia University and a CEPR Research Fellow since 1998. She is currently a fellow in the International Macroeconomics, International Macroeconomics and Finance, and Monetary Economics and Fluctuations.

Schmitt-Grohé is an expert on international macroeconomics and monetary stabilization policies. Her work covers a wide range of topics, addressing unemployment, inflation, or trade. The economist’s key focus is on effective tools for government intervention.

You can find a list of all Stephanie Schmitt-Grohé’s work with CEPR here:  

The CEPR/UBS video portraits of Michèle, as well as those of all the other economists featured in the series, are available on our YouTube channel  

This programme shines a light on quality research and policymaking from female leaders in their field. "Women in Economics" will feature videos of prominent researchers discussing their work and insights. The content is designed to appeal to non-expert audiences as well as those with a deeper understanding of economics.

Founded on the UBS “Nobel Perspectives” concept, where, since 2015, UBS has been documenting the lives and work of Nobel Prize-winning economists, this partnership will highlight great economic minds and showcase the outstanding contributions they are making. The aspiration is to underline women’s contributions to the field of economics and inspire future generations.
