Jordi Galí

Jordi Galí (born January 4, 1961) is a Catalan macroeconomist who is regarded as one of the main figures in New Keynesian macroeconomics today.

Galí's research centers on the causes of business cycles and on optimal monetary policy, especially through the lens of time series analysis.

[4] If this property were roughly true in reality, it would permit central bankers to pursue a simplified Taylor rule focused only on inflation stabilization, with no need to consider output growth.

[5] Jordi Galí and Olivier Blanchard have called this property the 'divine coincidence', and have argued that in more realistic models which include additional frictions, it no longer holds.

In 2005, Galí received the Yrjö Jahnsson Award of the European Economic Association, of which he is also a fellow,[13] in recognition of his work on New Keynesian macroeconomics.
