Dr. Reyes's research interests are in the areas of Monetary Theory and Policy as well as International Economics. On the monetary theory side his research agenda focuses on inflation targeting and exchange rate issues in emerging economies. On the international economics side he is currently involved in two different projects. The first one deals with issues of capital flows into emerging economies, debt maturity structure and capital sudden stops. The focus of this research is the study of the optimal debt maturity structure when capital-sudden-stops are a possibility (dynamic stochastic models). The second one is a research project that attempts to bring new ideas from complex network theory to international trade, growth and development, and financial contagion.
