Eliasson, Ann-Charlotte

My research focuses on financial economics and applied econometrics, and the interaction between financial regulation, sustainability, and risk. A central theme in my work is how new regulatory frameworks, particularly in the area of sustainability reporting, affect capital allocation, pricing, and market structure. I am especially interested in bridging the gap between regulatory intent and market outcomes, combining rigorous empirical methods with institutional knowledge of how financial markets operate in practice. My research is motivated by questions that arise at the intersection of policy, market design, and real-world decision-making by issuers and investors.

I come to these research questions after nearly three decades of professional experience in international finance. Over this period, I worked extensively with fixed income products, bond market infrastructure, sustainability-linked instruments, and risk management at a global level. While my career has been practice-oriented, I have continuously maintained strong ties to academia, pursuing research, publishing, and teaching in parallel with senior professional roles. This dual trajectory has shaped a research perspective that is both theoretically grounded and empirically informed by market realities.

My academic background includes a PhD in Economics and Econometrics, with specialization in advanced statistical methods, non-linear modeling, and applied macro and financial econometrics. I have published research on monetary policy, credit risk, financial stability, and econometric methodology, and I have held academic appointments as a visiting scholar at University of California San Diego and as an adjunct professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. This combination of long-term market experience and formal academic training underpins my ambition to contribute research that is both academically rigorous and directly relevant to financial markets and policy.
