Ásgeir Jónsson (born 21 June 1970) is an Icelandic economist, teacher and author.
He has been a notable contributor to the Icelandic policy debate during the boom and crisis periods.
[1] During the 2000s Ásgeir was the Chief economist for Kaupthing Bank and head of its analytic department.
Jón Daníelsson and Ásgeir (2005) addressed a problem in monetary policy associated with an appreciation of the exchange rate for the purpose of price stability which could perversely lead to increased financial instability by reducing the amount of regulatory capital.
[4] Ásgeir is the son of Jón Bjarnason, the former Icelandic Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, and Ingibjörg Kolka Bergsteinsdóttir.
