Claus Vistesen is a 23 year old macroeconomist on the verge of finishing his MSc in Applied Economics and Finance from the Copenhagen Business School. His primary research interests are international finance and international macroeconomics. Especially, the changing structure of global and national demographics is a strong anchor in his work. Moreover and as the wonk he ultimately is he also takes an interest in the econometrics discipline which he intends to dig deeper into post graduate. RGE readers will be spared of his inclinations in this direction however.

He primarily writes out of his own blog Alpha.Sources as well as Global Economy Matters. He liases closely with his colleague and friend Edward Hugh whom he develops and produces research material and articles with. In terms of specific topics Claus tracks the European economies as well as Japan as his main areas of focus. However, an overdose of curiosity often leads him to other subjects not least in the context of one of his main endeavors which is to link the global liquidity and capital flow edifice to the demographic profile of the global economy.
