Lea K. Havemeister

Welcome!

I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Chryssi Giannitsarou and Elisa Faraglia.

My research interests lie in monetary policy, firm dynamics, and international macroeconomics and finance. I study how firm heterogeneity — in financial health, beliefs, and corporate structure — shapes the transmission of macroeconomic policy, using large-scale administrative and proprietary firm-level microdata.

During my PhD, I conducted two research internships at the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of England. Prior to my PhD, I worked as a European Economic Analyst at Goldman Sachs, and at the European Systemic Risk Board Secretariat (ECB), where I first encountered many of the questions I now work on. See my CV for details.
