Expertise
Professor Ranaldo studies the key frictions within the financial system that undermine its efficiency and stability. His research focuses on three interrelated and mutually reinforcing frictions: market illiquidity, balance sheet constraints of financial intermediaries, and institutional factors such as monetary regulation and policies. In his current projects, he examines how regulations can unintentionally affect the behavior of both banks and non-bank institutions (such as pension funds), potentially undermining the financial system's proper functioning. He also investigates how new technologies influence the quality of financial markets.
