Dimitrios Tsomocos He holds a BA, MA, MPhil and a PhD from Yale University.
Prior to joining Saïd, Dimitrios Tsomocos taught at Columbia University, and was an economist at the Bank of England. He holds a BA, MA, MPhil and a PhD from Yale University.
Dimitrios’s research has had a substantial impact on economic policy around the world. In particular, he analyses issues of contagion, financial fragility, interbank linkages and the impact of the Basel Accord and financial regulation in the macroeconomy, using a General Equilibrium model with incomplete asset markets, money and endogenous default. He publishes frequently in leading journals, including Journal of Mathematical Economics, Economic Theory, Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, Journal of Financial Stability, Annals of Finance, International Journal of Central Banking, and Journal of Economics.
He co-developed the Goodhart – Tsomocos model of financial fragility in 2003 while working at the Bank of England. The impact has been significant and more than ten central banks have calibrated and are calibrating the model, including the Bank of Bulgaria, Bank of Colombia, Bank of England, Bank of Jamaica, the Bank of Korea, Bank of Russia, and the Central Bank of Chile. In 2011, Dimitrios provided testimony to House of Lords for the Economic and Financial Affairs and International Trade Sub Committee’s report, ‘The future of economic governance in the EU’. He has worked with central banks in countries including England, Bulgaria, Colombia, Greece, Korea and Norway to implement the Goodhart – Tsomocos model and advise them on issues of financial stability.
