Collin M. Constantine is a College Assistant Professor of Economics at Girton College, University of Cambridge. His research lies at the intersection of international macroeconomics, finance, and the political economy of development. He studies how foreign exchange constraint, fiscal dominance, and distributional conflict shape inflation, business cycles, public finance, and development in small open developing economies (SODEs).

His current work develops macroeconomic theory and policy analysis for small open developing economies, where standard macroeconomic assumptions often travel poorly. In these economies, foreign exchange is frequently scarce, imported inputs are central to production, banking systems intermediate sovereign stress, and fiscal dominance and partial dollarisation are persistent. This perspective shapes his analysis of SODE macroeconomics, especially why standard measures of overheating, fiscal space, and policy effectiveness often prove unreliable. See the Research Agenda page for an overview of his work.

This website provides access to his most recent research, including working papers and projects in progress. A complete record of publications and academic activities is available in his Curriculum Vitae.
