Overview
Biography
Emmanuel is a Professor of Finance at the Department of Management of the School of Business, Economics and Informatics, Birkbeck College. He holds a DPhil in Economics from the University of London, Queen Mary College, a MSc in Economics from the University of Warwick and a BSc in Economics from the Department of Economics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. His research is primarily driven by its impact on the real economy.
Highlights
Emmanuel was the Principal Investigator in a project to investigate why households repaid their debt during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was awarded a £102,974 grant by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as part of UK Research Innovation’s rapid response to COVID-19, to conduct a study exploring the relationship between COVID-19 and household debt.
Entitled ‘Why do households repay their debt during COVID-19 crisis? Well-being and financial implications, the study examines the impacts of COVID-19 policy interventions on household debt repayments and financial resilience.
Bank of England statistics show that households repaid £7.4 billion of consumer credit in April 2020, the largest net repayment on record. Researchers at Birkbeck, the University of London, the University of Zurich, and Lancaster University explore the role of monetary expansion, debt repayment moratoriums, lockdowns, and furloughing in household debt repayment, controlling for specific characteristics such as ethnicity, age, gender, health, and employment.
The study also examines the persistence of both household debt repayments and debt exposure. Recent statistics show that British households have increased their debt exposure by £6 billion as they fall behind on credit card payments, council tax, and utility bills. The study delivers evidence and projections that will inform policy-making decisions in real-time and enhance impact.
