Arantxa Jarque
Arantxa Jarque is a senior policy economist in the Research Department. Jarque manages the Research Assistant (RA) program. Her research on dynamic contract theory has been published in the Journal of Economic Theory and the Review of Economic Dynamics.
As part of her efforts to promote widespread access to economic research, Jarque supports efforts at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond to expose students interested in economics to the careers available to them. Her roles with the RA and intern programs, as well as her work with the Research Department’s doctoral student interns, have given her valuable insight into the perspectives of early career economists and the importance of providing information and mentoring.
Jarque joined the Richmond Fed in September 2009 after serving as an assistant professor of economics at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and at Universidad de Alicante in Spain. She earned her doctorate from the University of Rochester.
