Riera-Crichton’s research agenda addresses issues on Persistent Current Account Imbalances, Gross Capital Flows, Real Exchange Rates and International Reserves. In his last paper, Riera-Crichton and his co-author explore a new measure of gross capital flows and apply it to a global panel. Current active research includes a paper exploring the asymmetric behavior of countries experiencing surplus to deficits and deficit to surplus reversals in their current account balances.

His current teaching fields include Principles of Macroeconomics, International Finance, and the World Economy, an introductory class to international economics.
