Gabriel A Abeyie
Assistant Professor
Gabriel Abeyie an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. His research lies at the intersection of macroeconomics and finance, with a focus on how narratives, information, and expectations shape asset prices and macroeconomic outcomes.
His work develops and applies text-based measures of economic narratives using large-scale news data, combined with high-frequency identification strategies and econometric methods. He is particularly interested in understanding how markets respond to new information, how expectations are formed, and how these processes are transmitted to the broader economy.
While many of his applications focus on energy markets (especially oil), his broader research agenda centers on narrative-driven fluctuations, expectation formation, and the role of information in macro-financial dynamics.
