Alexander P. Hansak

Welcome to my personal website. I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at CERGE-EI.

I obtained my PhD in Economics at the Vienna Graduate School of Economics in 2023 under the supervision of Michael Reiter and Alejandro Cuñat. 

I am a macroeconomist studying how household behavior, firm decisions, and policy interventions interact in economies with heterogeneous agents. My research examines how inequality, financial decision-making, and technological change shape aggregate and distributional outcomes, as well as policy effectiveness. To address these questions, I develop quantitative models that incorporate various dimensions of heterogeneity. 

I will be on the academic job market 2025/2026.

Here is my CV and my research.
