Professor Árpád Ábrahám joined Duke in the fall of 2002 after receiving his Ph.D. in Economics from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. Previously, he held a research positions in the Institute of Economics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences between 1994 and 1996 and at London Business School between 2000 and 2002.

He also works on models where borrowing or portfolio constraints are endogenized by allowing agents to default on their debt.
