Marco Piña

PhD candidate working in macroeconomics and international finance.

My research studies financial stability in emerging economies, with a focus on capital flows, financial frictions, and macroprudential policy. I use structural and empirical approaches to understand why some economies remain vulnerable to recurring financial crises while others become more resilient.

Alongside my academic research, I have hands-on experience applying AI to economic research through my work with UVA’s Economics of Transformative AI (EconTAI) Initiative.
