Ricardo A. M. R. Reis (born September 1, 1978) is a Portuguese economist at Columbia University in New York City. He became a full professor at the age of 29, one of the youngest ever in the history of the University. He is the editor of the Journal of Monetary Economics and sits on the Board of Editors of the American Economic Review and the Journal of Economic Literature. He is an academic advisor and visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

Reis earned his Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree from the London School of Economics in 1999, and his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) from Harvard University in 2004. In 2009, Reis was ranked the second most cited young economist in the world.[1] In a 2013 ranking of young economists by Glenn Ellison, Reis was considered the top economist with a PhD between 1996 and 2004, ahead of Esther Duflo and Enrico Moretti.[2]

His main area of research is macroeconomics. His main theoretical contribution was the sticky-information Phillips curve[3] and the associated theories of inattention,[4] models of sticky information,[5] and endogenous disagreement.[6] His work on monetary policy has included proposing measures of pure inflation,[7] showing when a central bank can go insolvent[8][9] and stating principles of central bank design.[10] His work on fiscal policy has focussed on targeted fiscal transfers.[11] and the role of automatic stabilizers.[12] He also participated on debates over the Euro crisis, proposing an explanation for the crisis [13] and designing European Safe Bonds.

He writes for the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Noticias and participates frequently in economic debates in Portugal.
