Balance-Sheet Modelling & Monetary Architecture

Reading monetary systems through the interlocking balance sheets that constitute them — and turning that reading into practitioner-facing tools.

Much of my research rests on a single methodological conviction: that money and finance are best understood as a hierarchy of interlocking balance sheets, and that crises are what happen when those balance sheets can no longer clear. Balance-sheet modelling makes that structure visible, traces how elasticity and stress propagate through it, and supports both historical analysis and forward-looking scenarios.

Strands

1 · The Monetary Architecture framework

As Associate Researcher at the Global Climate Forum, I contribute to the OBFA-TRANSFORM Project and helped build the Monetary Architecture Online Tool — a publicly accessible resource that renders the Eurozone's monetary architecture as navigable, practitioner-facing balance-sheet analysis. See also the GEGI Study.

2 · Long-run financial-flow dynamics

Quantitative analysis of trade, capital, and financial-flow dynamics over the very long run (1870–present), identifying structural breaks and regime shifts in globalisation and financial integration, and linking historical patterns to scenarios for financing large-scale transformations.

3 · Crisis dynamics through balance sheets

A methodology combining structured process-tracing with balance-sheet visualisation to explain crisis-driven institutional change -- applied to the transformation of the Eurozone architecture from the Global Financial Crisis onward. See the GEGI Study.

Method

Balance-sheet mapping and visualisation, stock-flow-consistent accounting, long-run time-series analysis, and scenario frameworks — using primary and secondary data across private and public sectors.
