Martin Goetz is a Financial Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. His research examines how banks' organizational structure affects their market behavior. In particular, he studies how banks' geographic diversification across several markets affects their risk taking behavior and market value. Moreover, he analyzes how small commercial banks played a role for the transmission of the financial crisis of 2007-09 to the local economic activity in the United States due to their reliance on wholesale funding markets.
He earned undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and the University of London. In May 2010 he obtained a Ph.D. in Economics from Brown University.
