The New Politics of Central Banking After the Great Recession
Alexander Reisenbichler is assistant professor in the department of political science and research coordinator of the Joint Initiative of German and European Studies in the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto. His work explores the politics of housing, financial, and labor markets in advanced economies, with regional specializations in Western Europe and the United States. He received a Ph.D. in political science from George Washington University.
During his time at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Reisenbichler will explore the new politics of central banking after the Great Recession of 2008-2009. His research will investigate the political and distributive dimensions of central bank programs, policies, and strategies by the Federal Reserve System and the European Central Bank in the context of ultra-low interest rates. He will also continue his research on the political economy of housing markets in the United States and Germany.
