Macroeconomics
Read more about our research in macroeconomics.
Research
Our research spans quantitative and empirical macroeconomics, with particular strengths in firm dynamics and financial frictions; household heterogeneity, inequality and labour markets; economic growth and structural transformation; and monetary and financial policy.
Recent work examines entrepreneurship, firm entry and investment, taxation and capital structure, automation and technological change, consumption and income inequality, labour supply and productivity, as well as monetary policy, expectations and learning, credit markets and macroprudential regulation.
Our research combines structural models with microeconomic and macroeconomic data, alongside empirical work using microeconometric and time-series methods.
