Pavlina R. Tcherneva Biography

Pavlina R. Tcherneva, Ph.D., is a macroeconomist specializing in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), monetary theory, fiscal policy, and macroeconomic stabilization. Tcherneva serves as president of the Levy Economics Institute, professor of economics at Bard College, and director of the Economic Democracy Initiative in New York. She succeeded Dimitri B. Papadimitriou as president of the Levy Economics Institute.

Tcherneva's academic work is rooted in the history of economic thought, with a focus on the policy approaches of John Maynard Keynes. As a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge Centre for Economic and Public Policy, she examined Keynes's collected writings and personal papers, developing an interpretation of his approach to full employment. For her article, "On-the-spot Employment: Keynes's Approach to Full Employment and Economic Transformation," Tcherneva received the Helen Potter Prize from the Association for Social Economics, awarded for the best article in the Review of Social Economy. She has also received grants from the Institute for New Economic Thinking for her research on fiscal policy.

Tcherneva is the author of "The Case for a Job Guarantee," which explores the benefits and implementation of job guarantee programs and has been published in multiple languages. Her first book, "Full Employment and Price Stability," co-edited with M. Forstater, compiles lesser-known works by Nobel Prize–winning economist William Vickrey on employment and inflation, offering reinterpretations for contemporary policy. Her research has appeared in journals such as Eastern Economic Journal, Review of Social Economy, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, Journal of Economic Issues, and International Journal of Political Economy.

Tcherneva has contributed to policy design and evaluation with organizations including the United Nations Human Rights Council, the International Labor Organization, and members of the European Parliament, as well as policymakers in the United States and internationally. She worked with the Sanders presidential campaign following national attention to her research on inequality and served on the Biden-Harris economic policy volunteer committee. Tcherneva contributed to the United Nations report "The Employment Guarantee as a Tool in the Fight Against Poverty."

Tcherneva regularly speaks at central banks, professional associations, nonprofit organizations, and community groups on topics such as modern monetary theory, economic insecurity, inequality, and job creation. She has appeared on C-SPAN with members of Congress to discuss economic issues, and her commentary on labor markets and monetary policy informs public debate. Tcherneva's work at the Levy Economics Institute focuses on research and policy impact in areas including financial instability, money, inequality, gender, and employment policy.
